KAŞ
Today's Kas is a coastal city of the Lycians. "Phellos"
is the Greek word for "stony place" and this name is very
well suited to Kas. Its well preserved rock tombs and theater are
well worth seeing. Kas today is a small and charming coastal resort.
This is reached by sea from Ucagiz. The beauty of Simena lies in
its blending of history, sea and sun. Here, one is fascinated by
the remains of ancient civilizations lying under the blue and translucent
waters of the Mediterranean. Kale's history dates back to the Lycian
era. Roman and later eras are piled on top of each other. The theatre
carved out of the rocks is one of the smallest of Lycia. The walls
were built in Roman times but it is thought that additions were
made in later eras.
