For a taste of the real Turkey, visit the charming seaside town of Kas and Kalkan, where life continues as it has for centuries, with only a passing nod to tourism. Kaş nestles at the foot of impressive mountains, traditional Ottoman houses overhanging the cobbled streets a maze of shops, bars and restaurants.
As you wander the narrow streets, turning a corner you may come across the Monument tomb, distinctive Lycian sarcophagus.It is said that the streets of Kas were once littered with these tombs, although this is the only one which has been preserved.

Kas was the site of the ancient city of Antiphellos, the remains of the theatre still stand just outside the town centre,overlooked by ancient Doric tombs, cut into the rock of the hillside.
Kalkan is a harbour town with an addictive charm all of its own. The little white washed mosque that guards the harbour bears testament to Kalkan's long Ottoman history. A charming holiday spot, Kalkan is full of exquisite boutiques, craft shops, restaurants, cafes and bars which just ooze the flavour of Turkey.
The best way to explore the surrounding area is by boat - by far the most relaxing approach to sightseeing. You should not miss a trip to the ancient castle of Simena and the fascinating sunken city of Kekova.
Although the main attraction of Kas and Kalkan is in its unspoilt nature, beachlovers will not be disappointed as the beautiful beach of Kapitas, with its unfeasibly turquoise waters and white shingle, is only 25 - 15 minutes away by dolmus. For more local swimming both locations offer excellent sun-bathing terraces on the rocks with steps leading into the blue mediterranean.
