The Kestros, now the Aksu Çayı, is a river of southern Turkey that flows from the Taurus Mountains through the plain of ancient Pamphylia into the Mediterranean east of Antalya. In antiquity it was navigable up to the area of Perge, which lay a short distance from its bank and used it to reach the sea.
