Kas, or Antiphellus as it was then called, was known to the ancients as the 'sponge capital of the world' and the discovery of the oldest shipwreck known to man, lying deeply off a cape east of Kas, is attributed to a local sponge diver. In fact, Kas is home to one of the best diving schools in the Mediterranean, where diving specialists will introduce you to cave diving, sponge diving, the amazing amphora field and even some fascinating shipwrecks.
You also have a wide choice of water sports. Water taxis can take you to the beach at Limanagzi where you can enjoy water skiing, parasailing, banana rides and a range of marine activities. You can also choose from several other beaches scattered around the bay.
The busy harbour is lined with restaurants, and the ancient stone sarcophagus tucked away in a quiet backstreet is a reminder of Kas's rich history. In fact, many more of Turkey's most beautiful historic sites are within comfortable reach of the village, including Xanthos, the Hidden Canyon , Patara Beach, Arycanda and Kekova sunkencity.kas turkey
