A day trip to the Hellenistic ruin of Arykanda, 72 kilometers northeast of Kas, is well worth it. The site terraces dramatically down a slope of the Akdag Mountain, with many well-preserved monuments to explore.
The stadium on the highest terrace is comparatively small, dating from the Greek era but restored by the Romans. Below the stadium is a near-intact Greek theater with 20 rows of seating and some inscriptions still visible on the top row.
