Kaş (Port of entry)

Background

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).

Check-in facilities

The harbor is crowded with gulets. Fouled anchors and collisions here is a way of life. When we were here, we waited until 10 AM by which time all the gulets have gone before going on a land excursion. Sleeping at night was a problem because of the noise from the discos. There is an attendant who may direct you on arrival. Charges are very reasonable.

Kas is a port of entry. Unfortunately the various authorities are widely scattered around the town.

Marinas & Yacht Clubs

The rumor is that a marina is being built in Buçak Deniz the cove W of the harbor.
