Antiphellos was one of the oldest settlements in the Antalya region and was an important Lycian port city.
Today's lovely holiday destination, Kaş, was founded on this ancient
city. That's why remains of Antiphellos can be seen scattered around in the
center of Kaş today.
Kaş was a renowned port city in ancient times. The main city
"Phellos" was located just above it. This explains why the name "Antiphellos" was given to this place, as it means the "opposite
of Phellos". However, over time, Antiphellos developed, got rich and
separated from Phellos. It grew into a wealthy city of its own.
