Lions Tomb

Located in the centre of Kaş, the Lions Tomb is free to visit and accessible at any time of day. It’s one of the best-preserved Lycian sarcophagi in the region and serves as an open-air museum piece within the town itself. The tomb is an easy stop while wandering through Kaş’s old streets filled with boutiques, cafés, and flower-covered balconies. Information plaques nearby give visitors a short background on the Lycian burial traditions and the importance of this tomb to the ancient city of Antiphellos.

You don’t need a ticket or tour to visit the Lions Tomb, making it a perfect quick stop during your stroll through Kaş. It’s located in a pedestrian area, so comfortable shoes are a plus. Because it’s right along the shopping street, you can easily combine your visit with browsing local stores or enjoying an ice cream nearby. For photography, early morning or late afternoon light enhances the details of the lion carvings beautifully.

The Lions Tomb is located at the upper end of Uzun Çarşı Street, Kaş’s main pedestrian thoroughfare. It’s only a short walk from the harbour, the main square, or most central hotels. Simply follow the cobbled street lined with souvenir shops and cafés until you reach the top, where the tomb stands prominently. The site is small but impossible to miss as it sits in the middle of the street like a proud ancient guardian of Kaş.
