ANTİPHELLOS
The old name of the Antiphellos on which Kaş district center is set up on today, is mentioned as Habesos in the inscriptions in Lycian and on some coins. The city is known to have existed since 6th century B.C. had become a little settlement as the port of Phellos which is located just above it. However upon entering in Hellenistic period, Phellos declined and Antiphellos grew and become more important. This situation went on in the Roman period and the city was developed due to the cedar tree trade from the forests in the area and sponge fishing and became a rich city growing out of being just a port of Phellos and later became one of the members of Lycian League. Ancient city is located partly under current city and partly located on the peninsula lies in east-west direction. Hellenistic parapet remains which contain rectangular stone masonry workmanship on them can be seen at the section where the peninsula starts, from the side overlooking Meis Island and at seaside. The theatre overlooking the sea of the Antiphellos near the road reaching to Çukurbağ Peninsula has been preserved very well until today. Theater is located in a relatively higher place with its 26 seating rows and beautiful stone masonry work and has the typical Hellenistic theatre properties but it does not have a stage building.

At the northeast of the theatre, there is a tomb room on which 24 small women figure dancing holding hands reliefs are placed and dated back to 4th century B.C. carved from natural stone. Most of the tombs in Antiphellos are located above the houses located at the sides at the north of the city or above them. These tombs are some of the best examples of Lycian rock tombs with their side workmanship and inscriptions on them.

The most important monument of Kaş is the sarcophagus dating back to 4th century B.C. which is consisted of a single block on the Uzun Çarşı Street. The sarcophagus has been preserved rather intact until today and has bead motifs and some inscriptions on the lower section of 150cm in length. There is a figure of a sad man crossed one foot over the other, leaning on his staff, half clothed and a woman at the left on the northwest pediment. At the southeast pediment there is a standing woman in a coat. At the both sides of the lid there are lion reliefs with their heads between their paws.
