Step back in time with these incredible archaeological highlights.
About This Experience
The ancient rock-cut Lycian tombs overlooking Kaş harbor are among the most photographed sites in the region. These elaborate tombs, carved directly into the cliff face over 2,000 years ago, showcase the incredible craftsmanship of the Lycian civilization.
The Hellenistic amphitheatre, dating from the 1st century BC, offers panoramic views over the town and Mediterranean Sea. With seating for 4,000 spectators, it's remarkably well-preserved and occasionally hosts cultural performances.
Walking among these ancient monuments at sunset provides a magical experience, as the golden light illuminates the stone and creates dramatic shadows across the carved facades.
