In the Footsteps of the Lycian Civilization

In the Footsteps of the Lycian Civilization

These lands, where luxury villas provide a pleasant holiday opportunity, are far beyond just a popular tourism center. These lands are also ancient lands where a history of about 5 thousand years is rooted. As we move into the depths of history, we see that the Lycian Civilization has taken root all over Kaş. Lycians did not rule only in Kaş district. Civilization, starting from Kemer district of Antalya, has established magnificent cities in Kumluca, Finike and Demre districts that have survived to the present day. The theaters, agoras, colonnaded streets, baths, worship areas of the Lycian Civilization, which have survived to the present day, Kalkan or Kas are the cities that must be visited during your rental villa holiday.

There are important cities of the Lycian civilization within the borders of Kaş district. These cities are; Patara, Xhantos, Phellos, Antiphellos. The city of Patara is the city where St. Nicholas, also known as Santa Claus, was born, grew up and received religious education. Patara is also the city where the first democratic administration of history was exhibited, and the parliament building has survived until today with its restored state. You can find more detailed information on the subject in our blog about Patara. Xhantos, which is also among our blocks, is among the important cities of Lycia. The people of the city were occupied twice throughout the history and during these occupations, they chose death by committing collective suicide rather than being captured.

Myra and Andriake, one of the most important cities of Lycia, are located in the district of Demre. Demre district, which is 70 kilometers from Kalkan and 45 kilometers from Kaş, stands out with its natural beauties as well as its cultural heritage. The rock tombs and the ancient theater in the ancient city of Myra must be visited. The church built in the name of Santa Claus is also in Demre. The port city of Andriake and the Lycian Civilizations Museum in the same area are worth seeing. Demre district also stands out with its beautiful beaches. Our guests, who enjoy their holiday in a luxury villa in Kas or Kalkan, can go to Demre district for a day with a short-term vehicle trip. After visiting ancient cities and museums, they can swim in the beaches of Çayağzı, Sülüklü and Taş Dibi. These beaches are among the most beautiful beaches of our country.
