Kaş and Aperlae

East of Kalkan is the larger town of Kaş. There are old Ottoman houses now converted into shops and restaurants. The town is well known for a pedestal style sarcophagus standing in the middle of the avenue leading down to the harbor. Other ruins include a Hellenistic theater, an agora and rock cut tombs in the cliff face above the town.

Further east lies an area of great archeological and scenic interest: we first reach Aperlae, a fortified city accessible only by boat or on foot. This is a wonderful site and due to its remote location you are likely to be the only visitors. An earthquake sheared the edge of the city below the inlet and you can swim over sunken streets and houses as you make your way to shore.
