Kaş is a seaside town on the Mediterranean coast in southwestern Turkey.
The small Hellenistic theatre, 500m west of Kaş' main square, could seat 4000 spectators and is in good condition. It was built in the 1st century BC and restored 300 years later, probably after the great 141 AD earthquake. There's a good view of Kaş from the top tier of seating.
I wrote in my diary, " Kas was very picturesque, steep streets, buckets of flowers and climbing plants cascading down walls. Hotels and apartments perched on cliffs, deep sided. John and I walked out to the ancient theatre, fairly well preserved and at the top, a magnificent sweep of sea and mountains. Hot and still and very peaceful"
That's me looking out to sea and the surrounds!
oh i have been to kas. Sadly i had a bad case of food poisoning and sat in our pensione watching the ocean and playing backgammon! Around the same era. We backpacked around Turkey for a month
A fabulous shot and scene. Turkey has so many wonderful destinations, for many years we spent our holidays sailing there. None of us ever had stomach problems fortunately :-)
I spent one day in Turkey- Ephesus- it was a beautiful place. But this shot reminds me more of Lyndos which was in Greece (but visited on the same trip). Great travel shot.
