Kaş which means eyebrow in Turkish, was the Greek town of Antiphellus and was populated by Greeks until the 1921 population exchange after the disastrous Greek-Turkish war. In antiquity it was the Lycian city of Habesos. During Roman times it was an important sponge trading center.
Today Kaş is a delightful town, full of activity, it has a wonderful fruit market and many restaurants. Also it is a good place for staging land expeditions. The only drawback is that the harbor is crowded with gulets and is extremely noisy at night with the discos competing on which one will out blast the other.
Kaş is a port of entry. Unfortunately the various authorities are widely scattered around the town (see chart).
