Kash (turg. Kaş, translated into Russian — "eyebrow") is a city and port on the Mediterranean coast. The population is about 60 thousand people. The city is famous for its narrow cobblestone streets and colorful mosaic houses. The Old Town area combines Greek and Turkish building styles. The ground floors are often occupied by antique shops and small shops. It is located in one of the southernmost points of the Teke Peninsula, 180 km southwest of Antalya. The city is located on the slopes of the mountains descending to the sea. The climate is typical Mediterranean: hot and dry summers, mild and humid winters. In the IV century BC, the port of Antiphellos, part of the ancient city of Phellos, was founded on the site of the current town of Kas. In ancient times, the city was one of the important trading centers of ancient Lycia, from here wood from the cedar forests of Lycia was exported. From 1852 to 1923, the port town of Andifli, inhabited mainly by Greeks, was located on the site of the ancient port. When the Greek population left these places in 1923, the city got its modern name. There are many attractions in the city, for example: The remains of an ancient temple (1st century BC) and a small Hellenistic amphitheater for 4,000 spectators. The two—story Lycian tomb of the Lion is located at the opposite end of the city, named for four architectural relief decorations in the shape of lion heads. The marina with the lighthouse is one of the visiting cards of Kasha, with sunset views from the lighthouse. Most of the beaches are located in rocky coves, almost the entire coast is covered with small pebbles, but there are also sandy areas. Due to the pebbly bottom, the sea off the coast is very clean and transparent, so Kash is popular with divers. There are no multi-storey hotels or giant all inclusive complexes in Kasha, most of the accommodation options are boutique hotels, apartments or guest houses. It attracts tourists with its unusual and unlike typical Turkish landscapes - it gives the impression that you are in Greece.

Oh, beautiful Porridge! I fell in love with this lovely town from the very first step) Firstly, the observation deck offers a wonderful view of the city, especially at sunset. Secondly, Kasha itself is so cozy, but the evening life of vacationers is bustling at the same time, that of all the cities on the coast, I would like to return to Kash!
