Kaş

Kaş is a beautiful town on the Mediterranean, where we went kayaking over the 'sunken city' of Kekova, ancient ruins that have sunk into the sea as a result of earthquakes. You can see rubble under the beautiful clear water, and ruins on the shore of the island.

In the rocky cliffs above town there are Lycian tombs carved into the rock.

I love swimming in the Mediterranean! It's the perfect temperature. We went to one great sandy beach, at Patara, where it's shallow so easy to swim out past the breaking waves and body surf on them, or bob around behind them. Here I am off a rocky beach, a hotel/restaurant had beds & umbrellas to lie on and a ladder down to the water. This is my fourth time in the water that day, wonderful!
