Paleokastritsa - Central to bars, restaurants, beaches, boat trips, pretty much everything. Paleo is beautiful, the scenery is breathtaking with all its hidden coves and bays.

Kas © Turkey Ministry of Tourism |
Overview Delightfully situated among towering vertical cliffs, Kas is the
region's second major holiday resort, and although lacking in
idyllic stretches of beach, the dramatic rocky coastline creates
easy access to clear and unpolluted Mediterranean waters; and an
abundance of outdoor activities, and a lively nightlife have
maintained its reputation as a satisfying holiday destination. It
is the centre for glass-bottomed boat trips to the sunken cities
around Kekova Island from where remains of mysterious civilisations
can be viewed just below the surface of the water, and visits can
be arranged to the surrounding archaeological sites at Demre, Myra
and the Xanthos Valley. The town is built around the remains of
ancient Antiphellos, and there are ruins of a Hellenistic theatre,
the monumental Lion Tomb, and some hillside rock tombs in and
around the town. Despite attracting thousands of holidaymakers
every year and the tourist development of what was once a simple
fishing village, Kas still preserves its small-town charm, with
narrow cobbled streets and novel boutique shops.
