Its quaint town center has a rocky waterfront, with several small beaches nearby. There are water sports available in the area, like canoeing, diving and paragliding.

There is a small harbor with fishing boats and daily boats for rent. Kas never became as popular as other areas because of its small pebble beaches, but this has saved the town from over development. Life centers on the town square where there are teahouses, restaurants, mosques and shops. Kas has a moderate amount of nightlife and many nice souvenir shops. There is a traditional market on Fridays.

The main activity in Kas is of course the scuba diving. Divers from allover the world come here to join the beautifull diving spots.
