Antiphellos Ancient City is the ancient settlement that lies beneath and around modern Kas, offering a fascinating glimpse into the Lycian heritage of the region. Originally a port of the larger inland city of Phellos, Antiphellos developed into an important coastal settlement during the Hellenistic period and continued to flourish under Roman rule.
Today, traces of ancient Antiphellos can be discovered throughout Kas, with the Ancient Theatre being its most impressive surviving monument. The city is also known for its Lycian rock-cut tombs and sarcophagi, including the distinctive Lion Tomb, which stands close to the modern town centre.
Exploring Antiphellos is a wonderful way to experience the history of Kas beyond its beautiful coastline. Visitors can wander through the town and encounter ancient remains alongside modern cafes, restaurants and harbour views, creating a unique blend of Lycian heritage and Mediterranean life.
