Phellos
Phellos Antik Kenti
A Lycian ancient city on a mountaintop behind Kaş, where sarcophagi and city walls lie scattered among olive groves overlooking Kaş Bay.
Phellos was the mother city of Antiphellos (modern Kaş). It stands on a summit about 4 km north of the town, at roughly 800 metres, and preserves Lycian city walls, relief sarcophagi, rock-cut tombs and cisterns. Olive trees and wild scrub surround the site, and it sees very few visitors. You can drive from Kaş to the nearby village of Ağullu and walk the rest, or take the hiking trail up from town in about 2 hours. The views over Kaş Bay and Meis Island are excellent. There is no entry fee and no facilities, so bring your own water and wear hiking boots.
