As ancient theatres go in Turkey, Antiphellos is not going to take your breath away and make you go ‘Wow!’ We suspected that fact from what we had seen in the distance from the sea. Antiphellos isn’t huge by any stretch of the imagination. But we were here for the views.

Arriving by ferry to the Dodecanese Greek island of Kastellorizo – or Meis, as it’s known in Turkey – just fills you with that complete happy satisfaction that not all in the world is racing along and over-developed. For the traveller craving tranquility, idylls are still very much in existence and Kastellorizo ticks all those perfect-dreamy-Greek-island boxes. It’s a blissful escape.

1. When we talk about the Xanthos valley we're talking about Lycia, an ancient maritime district of southwestern Anatolia. The Lycians crop up as far back as the 14th Century BC when they appear in records of the Egyptian, Hittite, and Ugaritic peoples. Their territory was then described as wedged between the Hittites on the north and the Achaean Greeks on the coast.

2. Tlos is one of the oldest residential areas of Lycia and one of the few cities which continued to be inhabited until the 19th Century. It was known as “the sports centre of the Lycian Federation.

3. Probably as famous for its beach as for the ruins scattered about the valley Patara is a nice place to spend some time.During the summer and into the Autumn the water is lovely and the 15 odd kilometres of beach are very inviting, especially after a hard day climbing around old things.

The Saklikent Canyon in Saklikent National Park is 18 km long, 300 meters deep and is steep and narrow. The Saklikent Canyon is longer by 4 km each than the Ihlara Valley in Cappadocia and the Koprulu Canyon in Turkey. After Verdon in France and Vikos in Greece, it is considered to be the third longest canyon in Europe. The Saklikent Gorge also known as “Hidden Valley” or The Lost City. This valley with a stream flowing through the icy waters. Streams of water is really cold. It may take longer to get used to the cold water. This cold water, spring water of the Bey Mountains within the terms of the areas that are eminently valuable is water.

You should definitely amble down the streets surrounding the bazaar area, which are filled with old wooden houses, cafes, boutiques and designer shops selling handmade products. The bazaar is very lovely and different from other bazaars you’ll see in Turkey. 

Kaputaş Beach, which is at the end of Kaputaş canyon, is one of the internationally famous beaches of Kaş. It often takes place in the international travellers’ magazines, and the tour operators always stop by on the beach as one of the main must see stops. The colour of the sea, which makes the main difference, is very unique, a special blue resembling the tropical waters. When dived through the level where the rare blue colour is kept, you will reach a wonderful underwater scenery which is also quite rare.  It is highly recommended to people who visit Kaş to see this amazing beach.
