Fethiye is the city of Telmessos in Lycia on the Mediterranean coast in the southwest of Anatolia, which is called the "Land of Light".

The city called Telmessos, BC. It came under Persian rule in the 6th century, and then BC. Together with Alexander the Great in 333 BC, then Rome and Byzantium (Eastern Rome), it is called "Makri", which means distant land.

The Turks, on the other hand, begin to call the region "Megri". In 1914, the name of Meğri was changed to "Fethiye" because Captain Fethi Bey's plane crashed near Teberiye Lake and he was our first air martyr. Today, there is a monument in Martyr Fethi Bey Park in Calis Beach.

Kaş is the only example of the Dalmatian coastal type in our country that we see on the shores of Dubrovnik in the Adriatic Sea. Apart from a small charming center where you can visit comfortably, many historical, natural and cultural beauties from Patara to Xanthos and Kalkan welcome you. Kaş is the westernmost district of Antalya. It is approximately 105 kilometers from Fethiye, which is located in the west, and 190 kilometers from Antalya. Whatever direction you come from, what you will see until you come to Kaş is a harbinger of this place. As you cross the deep blue Mediterranean on one side and the scrub-covered hills on the other, you get closer to Kaş. Covering a large part of the Lycian Region, Kaş is also home to many Lycian cities.
The first civilization that comes to mind when we say Kaş is undoubtedly Lycia, also called the "Land of Light". It was built on the Lycian city called Antiphellos, which covers the region called Teke Peninsula. In fact, Antiphellos was the port area of the city of Phellos, located at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, in other words, the city's gateway to the world at that time.
B.C. This city has a history that goes back to 700s. But it is the most tangible and visible remnant theater structure that has survived from those times. By the way, we should not forget the Lycian type sarcophagus found in the bazaar.

In general, the Lycian Civilization BC. Considering that it goes back to the 2000s, it would not be misleading to say that it had a great impact on Kaş. After the Persians, Alexander the Great, Rome, Byzantium, Seljuks, Teke Principality, it came under Ottoman rule in 1426. Although it had a short Italian occupation during the War of Independence, it is one of the most livable places in our country today.

But this sheep has a special beauty. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas at the businesses in the bay, and have a snack and spend your day here.
