In a nutshell
A summer retreat destination for northern Eurpeans, good for a long weekend's relaxation.
June.b Says: From the republic Square where there's a statue of Ataturk and an open-air coffeehouse fronting the marina, take a long walk along the Suleyman Sadikci Street and further up Hukumet Street passing by several hotels and restaurants. Walk further until you reach the beach...
al2401 Says: Xanthos was the name of a city in ancient Lycia and was the centre of culture and commerce for the Lycians and in turn for the Persians, Macedonians, Greeks and Romans.It is probably best known for the mass suicide of its citizens after the army was defeated by the Persians....
Myra and the story of Santa Claus

al2401 Says: The history of this village goes back to 4th century BC. It was once a city of Lycia - there is actually a sarcophagus out in the bay and a necropolis on the hill. There are the ruins of a medieval fortress on the top of a hill behind the town. Within these ruins can be...
al2401 Says: Kekova Island is across the bay from Simena and Ucagiz. Here you can see the sunken ruins of a residential part of old Simena which was submerged by an earthquake in the 2nd century.These are best seen as part of a boat trip around the bay - either a day trip or or a longer...
June.b Says: After passing through the ruins of Patara, you'll end your tiring day up for a refreshing swim at the longest beach along the mediterrenean - the Patara Beach.Maybe it's not peak season yet, though there are people around, they are mostly concentrated near the only snack...
June.b Says: From Xanthos, our safari jeep went to Patara passing by several ruins. Patara is the birth place of St. Nicholas, founded by Patarus - son of Apollo. Patara was noted in antiquity for its temple and the oracle of Apollo, second only to that of Delphi (Greece). It is...
June.b Says: A World Heritage Site - Xanthos is our next stop after Saklikent.It's an ancient Lycian City located at the present day Kinik in Antalya Province. The Romans called the city Xanthus, as all the Greek -os suffixes were changed to -us in Latin. Xanthos was a center of culture...
June.b Says: You'll definitely get wet but there's an excitement crossing the current onto the other side of the water onto the rest of the walkable 4 kilometers of the gorge. There are people doing it in group, and to minimize the risk - if you're alone or couple, take the help of some...
Small falls at Saklikent Gorge
June.b Says: At the end of the wooden pathway there are some benches and wooden tables and down a little below is the flowing water and not far is a little falls where water flow 3 ways.Don't ever try crossing the flowing river alone, it looks inviting yes, but it's dangerous. I was...
Walking on the pathway of Saklikent Gorge
June.b Says: Saklikent Gorge is 300 meters deep and 18 km long and the water beneath is said to be flowing for over thousands of years. Water is high during winter months so visitors can enter the canyon only in the summer months. Only 4 kilometers of the canyon are walkable after April,...

peterdhduncan Says: The Sultan Garden Restaurant is situated overlooking the harbour. It was fairly quiet the evening that we ate there, but the food and service were good.
Kas Spor Cay Bahcesi: Toasts and coffee under the trees
June.b Says: There is this large garden with many big trees called Kas Spor Cay Bahcesi located near the marina and along the small plaza in Necip bey Street. It's a relief to just sit there, enjoy a tea or coffee after getting tired of walking along the Uzun Carsi.Delicious big round...
Kahramanmaras Dondurmasi: Yummy local ice cream waffle

Limon Cafe: Another quick bite

June.b Says: Situated right at the corner of Ataturk Blvd and Necip Bey Street, infront of the Suleyman Mosque in the town center is a local restaurant slash tourists' favorite. I saw several tourists eating there so I did tried. Simple food, inexpensive, doner sandwiches, kebab, and the...
June.b Says: The main bus terminal of Kas is right up on the road of Ataturk Blvd. corner Ugur Mumcu Street. Small town with a small terminal. Big provincial buses stop and start from here, as well as the small cooperative minibuses that coes to nearby towns and cities.The minibus that I...
June.b Says: So I found out there's no direct bus from Konya to Kas. I went to several bus offices along Mevalana Street in Konya, most of them do not speak english so hard to communicate in addition to the lack of interest from both Metro and Kamil Koc staff at their office. So I...
