Kas

Kaş is a laid-back harbour town on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, built atop the ancient Lycian city of Antiphellos and ringed by rock-cut tombs, a Hellenistic amphitheatre, and pine-clad cliffs. It's best known as one of the country's top diving and paragliding bases, with the drowned ruins of Kekova and the Greek island of Meis both a short boat ride away.

Getting thereKaş has no airport or rail line of its own; most travellers fly into Dalaman (DLM), roughly a ~2-hour drive away, or Antalya (AYT), roughly a ~3.5-hour drive, then continue by shuttle, bus, or transfer along the coastal highway.
How long to stayPlan on ~3-4 days to explore the old town, take a Kekova boat trip, and fit in a dive or paragliding flight, with extra time if you want to add Saklikent Gorge or Patara Beach as day trips.
