About Antiphellos Antik Kenti
Ancient Antiphellos is connected to the Kaş core on the Lycian coast. Its theatre is one of the remains that make it possible to recognise the ancient city's presence alongside the modern town. Its placement on the slope helps to see the link between the performance building and the sea.
The visit should not be understood as a large circuit of rooms or excavated streets. The interest is in the remains and the continuity of the urban landscape, which can be explored on foot. The theatre area requires attention to steps and to the authorised circulation sectors.
Choose a less hot period for the walk and combine the site with the central streets, rather than going only for a photograph. The view depends on the light and the day's visibility. Visitors with difficulty using steps can still observe part of the setting without attempting to climb the entire seating.
