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.
