Getting to Kas You can get to Kas from two airports – Dalaman and Antalya. However, getting there by public transportation, especially from Dalaman (as there is no public transportation), is problematic: from Antalya Airport, you need to take tram T1A or bus #600 to the bus station. From the bus station, you can travel to Kas. Schedules are subject to change. Therefore, the easiest way to get to Kas from the airport is by booking a transfer. Hotels In Kas, you can book a hotel either in the city or on the peninsula – depending on your needs. If you don't want to spend evenings strolling around the city or visiting cafes, and would rather spend time at the hotel/by the pool/by the sea with a beautiful view, then choose a hotel on the peninsula. However, if you prefer a more active vacation or don't want to constantly spend money on taxis/wait for a bus, I recommend staying in the city proper. In the city, consider the Luna Kas or Hera Hotel, and on the peninsula, the Villa Tamara. However, when choosing a hotel, consider your preferences, reviews, and location. Mobile Communications Buying a physical SIM card isn't cost-effective; an eSIM is easier and cheaper. Consider your budget and needs. Be sure to check if your phone supports eSIM before purchasing. Currency It's best to bring dollars and exchange them for lira in Turkey. DO NOT exchange them at the airport—it's not cost-effective, especially if you don't need public transportation to Kas. The most profitable exchange office in Kas is the SILA Jewelry Store. You can also get a Letim card, but you'll see the commission when you transfer money. Payment will be via QR code; a physical card will not be available. Pharmacies: All pharmacies have the address of the pharmacy on duty posted on the counter. Taxi There are no taxi apps in Kas, Kalkan, Antalya, Fethiye, Kemer, and other cities on the southern coast of Turkey. Taxis in Kas and Kalkan are ordered via WhatsApp. They don't use a meter, so the prices are high. Buses In Kaş, the first thing you need to do is go to the bus station and take a photo of the schedule (Kaş-Çukurbağ (Peninsula), Kaş-Fethiye, Kaş-Kaputaş, Kaş-Kalkan, and others that interest you). Kaş-Çukurbağ - runs in a circle approximately every half hour from the stop near the mosque. Grocery stores: - M Migros - CarrefourSA - Muhtar Market - ​​Bim - Şok Market - ​​A101 On Fridays, the market is open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (behind the bus station). Where to eat I've listed the most popular places and recommended dishes: Kas Bistro - delicious breakfast and dinner (pasta, seafood). Bekos Kitchen - delicious breakfast, smoked salmon croissant, toast, and menemen, beautiful view. Dudu Mutfak - delicious Turkish breakfast. During peak season, it's best to book in advance for a beautiful view. Their specialty is small round pishi with mulberry jam. Fika Garden - delicious breakfast, coffee shop, burger buns with scrambled eggs, croissants, toast, acai bowls, and a cozy garden. Pisi Kahvalti - delicious breakfast, a cozy courtyard hidden from view, Turkish flatbreads similar to savory donuts with spreads. N8 Bakery - delicious breakfast, a cafe with a variety of pastries and desserts; they bake their own delicious bread and pastries. Taşbahçe Kahvaltı - delicious Turkish breakfast, accessible by car. Rustic breakfast in a cozy garden. Godo coffee - the most famous coffee shop with a piano where patrons sometimes play. A great place for a relaxing break. Lapero, a French restaurant, is nearby. Naturel - a restaurant for lunch and dinner. The restaurant focuses on fresh fish, located near Sempati. L'Apéro - a restaurant for lunch and dinner (atmospheric, pleasant music, French cuisine). A French restaurant with very high prices. Market - gozleme at the market on Fridays (flatbread with fillings, similar to khychin). ROLLING ROLLS - breakfasts and rolls, Russian founders. Panu - burgers, very filling sandwiches, granola, toast, with a beautiful view. Oxygen - lavender cocktail at the new Marina. Pells (expensive) - breakfast, beautiful view. Good bread, even croquemadame. Several breakfast options, including sparkling wine and English-style. Linkia Coffee - Coffee shop, they roast their own coffee, the largest menu of coffee drinks. Located on the way to the amphitheater. Mama Afrika - Coffee Shop Sahika Bahce - Coffee shop, Turkish breakfast, far away. Aesthetically pleasing, beautiful, 40 minutes by car, in a village above Kalkan. Volk Byhera Sempati - Beef Cheeks Zaika - Turkish cuisine, a wonderful view of the yachts in the marina, the most expensive restaurant in town. Masuk - Classic Turkish restaurant: meat, breakfasts, and a varied menu. Sunrise Breakfast Kaş - A large and hearty Turkish breakfast near the marina. 3 minutes by car, or within walking distance. Olive Garden Kaş Kahvaltı - Turkish breakfast, beautiful, green, and cozy. 8 minutes by car from the center, filling, delicious, beautiful grounds. Hold and Bite - burgers with truffle sauce Beaches The most important and beautiful beach is Kaputaş (entrance 50 TL, umbrella 230 TL, hammock 230 TL – prices subject to change). It's a 20-25-minute bus ride from the bus station. Halk - Kas belediyesi Halk, or simply Halk, or the public city beach, is free. Located on a peninsula, take the bus from the stop near the mosque. There's plenty of space, a cafe, sun loungers, and umbrellas. The entrance is gently sloping and pebbly. Beach Clubs You can choose a beach club in Kas or go to Kalkan. Kas: Leymona, Doria, Helios (Kas Camping) Kalkan: Zest, Lures Hotel & Beach Club, Mahal Beach Club If you're staying in a hotel in town, I recommend looking into day passes, such as Villa Tamara. Where to go or what to see. 1. The Lycian Way and the Sleeping Giant (beautiful viewpoint). The hike to the nearest point (the flag) takes 1-1.5 hours, with stops, and 1 hour back. The view is worth it! 2. Patara (ancient city and beach, dunes), beautiful sunset. 3. Abandoned water park. Almost at the very end of the peninsula, to the left of the Kumsal Hotel, there's an abandoned hotel with a water park (next to Villa Tamara). 4. The amphitheater (to watch the sunset), located at the junction of the peninsula and Kaş. 5. Walk to the new marina. 6. Kaş Harbor (you can also book a boat excursion to Kekova there; they're all pretty much the same). 7. Stroll the streets of Kaş. #Kaş #Kalkan #Kaputaş #Kekova #Turkey #Antalya

Kaş is an incredibly beautiful Turkish city with a Greek vibe. If you're planning a short trip to this city, I've put together an itinerary for you to spend unforgettable days in this cozy place. Day 1 In the morning, I suggest strolling around the city, exploring its streets, and taking photos on Süleyman Sandıkçı Sk Street, near the harbor. There, near the harbor, are boats moored and people selling excursions. I highly recommend (depending on the price and the boat) taking a boat tour to the sunken city of Kekova, disembarking in Simena. After the walk and lunch, we head to the stop near the mosque and take a bus to the peninsula and Halk Beach. There, we rent an umbrella and a sun lounger to avoid sunburn. In the evening, we dine at a sempati (veal cheeks). Day 2 We'll have breakfast at the hotel and depart in the morning for an excursion to Kekova. A hearty lunch awaits us on the boat (choose between chicken or fish, but I recommend the fish). We'll enjoy the walk, swim in the clear sea, and buy ice cream in Simena. We'll return to the hotel in the late afternoon. We'll have dinner in Ege and buy baklava at Nur Pastaneleri along the way. Day 3 We'll take a bus to Villa Tamara on the peninsula and buy a day pass there. The day pass requires a deposit, so we can use it for both lunch and dinner. We'll enjoy the natural beauty of the Greek island, the sea, and the pool. We'll take beautiful, memorable photos. As sunset approaches, we'll head to an abandoned water park to catch the sun. Day 4 In the morning, we'll go to the bus station and head to Kaputas Beach. Entrance, sun loungers, and umbrellas are not included, but they're not very expensive. We'll swim and have lunch. Don't forget to take a photo of the beach from above before we descend the steps. After lunch, we'll return to the hotel, rest, and in the late afternoon, prepare for the climb up the mountain (the climb takes a little over an hour, the descent about 40 minutes). We'll enjoy the view of Kaş from above. We'll return and have dinner at Masuk. Day 5 Wake up for yoga ;) Free yoga at the Luna Las Hotel on certain days. After yoga and breakfast, we'll go for a walk to the new Marina. On our way back to the hotel, we'll stop at Godo Café, grab a delicious coffee or lemonade, and then enjoy San Sebastian. We'll spend time by the pool or in our room. Afterward, we'll have lunch at the coffee shop gallery. After lunch, we'll stroll to the amphitheater, take photos, and watch the sunset. For dinner, we'll go to Nazende, a restaurant with incredible views of Kaş. Have a great holiday! I also recommend reading my second article for a better understanding. #Kekova #Antalya #Antalya #Kaş #Kaputaş #Lunakas #Turkey

A Stop You Just Can’t Miss 🚗🏖️ Driving from Antalya to Kaş, I suddenly found the road cutting through the cliffs — and right there was Kaputaş Beach! 💙 I simply couldn’t pass by that turquoise water and golden sand.

#ancienttown Exploring the Ancient City of Xanthos in Turkey was a remarkable experience! 🏛️ Located near the town of Kınık in the Antalya Province, the entrance fee was around 50 Turkish Lira. The site offers an impressive collection of ruins, including well-preserved tombs and monumental structures that give a glimpse into Lycian civilization. 🏺 The highlight was the dramatic views of the surrounding landscape from the ancient city walls. The intricate carvings on the tombs and the remnants of the theater were particularly captivating. 🎭 Nearby, the stunning Saklıkent Gorge provides a beautiful contrast with its lush scenery and cool waters, perfect for a refreshing visit after exploring the ruins. 🌲💧 Overall, Xanthos is a fascinating and relatively serene historical site that’s definitely worth the visit. #trip #Xanthos #AncientRuins #LycianHistory #TurkeyTravel #HistoricalSites

This time, we have arrived in the blue Turkey❗️ If you ask me which part of this trip to Turkey left the deepest impression, it would be the D400 coastal highway, which I can even say is a 'once in a lifetime' experience in my heart🌊 ▫️ ✨The D400 coastal highway starts from Osmaniye and ends in Mugla. The section between Antalya and Fethiye is half mountain and half sea, truly beautiful to the point of tears. ▫️ 📍Kaputas Beach This beach is the hallmark of D400 and the most coveted beach for tourists from all over the world. The water is clear, the sand is fine, the sky is blue, and the sea is azure. Any beautiful words to describe this beach are not an exaggeration. There are several photo spots on the beach: 1⃣️Cliff Boulder: Located in the parking area by the road, here you can take a standard 'ID photo' with the sprawling beach. 2⃣️Wooden Walkway: Walk down the walkway, and the corner is the best spot to admire the beach! 3⃣️White Sand Beach: The sand is relatively coarse, but any casual shot here is a masterpiece. ▫️ 📍Cayagzi Youlu Beach Compared to Kaputas, this beach has far fewer people. When we went, there was actually no one! It was probably because it was the off-season. The pavilions by the sea were all closed, and all the sun umbrellas were put away. However, the driver said that come May, it will be a completely different scene. ▫️ 📍Kas Town A small and beautiful town located on the D400 coastal highway. A walk around the town takes about half an hour. The pace of life in the town is very slow, perfect for relaxing and daydreaming. If you have enough time, you can stay in the town for a few more days to experience the leisurely life of the locals. In the summer, you can participate in various island-hopping tours here, which should be a very interesting experience! ▫️ 📍Kidrak Beach This beach is not large, but it has distinctly layered seawater in deep blue, lake blue, and mint blue. The jelly-like clear sea makes people feel refreshed. Sitting by the sea and listening to the sound of the waves can make you forget the time. ▫️ 📍Butterfly Valley There are two ways to visit Butterfly Valley. One is to join an island-hopping tour and take a boat to the beach; the other is to walk down the mountain path, through rugged trails, many sections of which require both hands and feet. Both ways have their pros and cons, and you can enjoy completely different scenery. For those who prefer a lazy tour, taking a boat is recommended. For those who like hiking, you can consider walking the trail.

Kas is located 3h away by shuttle from Dalaman airport. it’s easy get to Dalaman from Istanbul. it’s got an amazing vibe and a permanent digital nomad crowd. Kas could be an Ubud of Bali. it’s got all little cosy cafes with healthy food, amazing yoga community in various locations such as an old Greek amphitheater, or Kas yoga house where I also happened to rent an apartment. The first photo is a rooftop where we did yoga, and you can see a Greek Island from there!! Peak season is April - September. It’s a small town with a big energy and stunning views.#beachlife #turkey #mediterranean #digitalnomad #kasyogahouse

It spans the three seas of the Dead Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea. It is accompanied by blue sea and blue sky, hovering up and down the valley. The blooming trees along the classic building are matched with lazy Central Asian temperament. Well, killing California No. 1 in minutes. highway. At this point, the most needed is a car, a box of oil and a warm heart! Go by car!

#winterescape Step into the mythical world of Xanthos Antik Kenti 🏛️✨—where ancient Lycian ruins meet golden sunrises and epic sunsets. This UNESCO World Heritage site makes history feel alive and is a hidden gem near Kaş for travelers craving dramatic landscapes and awe-inspiring stories. To kick off your visit, start early: aim for sunrise to catch magical lighting at the Xanthos Harp Anıtı (Harp Monument) and soak in the peaceful vibe before the crowds roll in. Walking trails wind past grand tombs, mosaics, and the 2,500-year-old amphitheater. Don’t miss the inscriptions—snap close-ups of the elaborate carvings for unique, insta-worthy shots. Follow the main path to reach panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Xanthos Bridge and the turquoise river valley. For sunrise or sunset, the hilltop near the Harp Monument is unbeatable—the ancient stone silhouettes against pastel skies will elevate your photo game big time. Top tips: Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven and rocky; bring water, especially in the summer heat. There’s limited shade, so a hat and sunscreen are your best friends. An extra memory card is a must, with so many epic shot opportunities. Note: There are minimal facilities here, so pack snacks and check the opening hours in advance (generally daylight hours). My personal tip: Stick around till sunset for a peaceful atmosphere and the chance to see the ruins glow in the golden hour. It’s a surreal experience you’ll never forget! #Kas #Xanthos #AncientRuins #SunriseMagic #SunsetViews

#winterescape Step into Ancient Legends at Xanthos Antik Kenti 🏛️✨ Wander through the timeworn ruins of Xanthos, a UNESCO World Heritage site just outside Kaş, where Lycian, Greek, and Roman stories blend amid crumbling temples, grand tombs, and an impressive amphitheater. Whether you're a history buff or just love epic scenery, Xanthos is a must-see slice of Turkiye’s ancient soul. Your Xanthos Itinerary: Start your visit by following the main path right from the entrance, which quickly brings you to the awe-inspiring Roman theater—a perfect spot for panoramic photos with the Lycian tombs in the background. Make sure to climb up for a bird’s-eye view of the entire site and the lush valley beyond; sunset light makes every snapshot insta-worthy. Next, wander towards the Harpy Tomb and the Lycian sarcophagi, which are scattered across the plateau—each offering their own story (and a dramatic photo op with the wildflowers in spring!). Don’t forget to explore the Byzantine basilica ruins for those moody, atmospheric shots. Tips to Maximize Your Visit: Arrive early in the morning to beat both crowds and midday heat. There’s limited shade and few amenities—bring water, a hat, sunscreen, and sturdy shoes (ancient stones can get slippery!). English signage is decent, but a quick read about Lycian history beforehand really brings the place to life. Lastly, keep an eye out for tortoises and wildflowers along the paths—nature’s own little surprises. #Kas #Xanthos #AncientRuins #TravelTurkey #HistoryExplorers

Kaş is located 186 km from Antalya and 143 km from Dalaman. Fly into either of these cities and then take a transfer or intercity bus to Kaş. Along the way, you'll enjoy incredible mountain views and winding roads along the sea. The city's population is 62,866. This figure includes residents of nearby villages. The city itself has a population of approximately 10,000. Kaş is one of the locations on the famous Lycian Way. That's why it's always crowded with people from all over the world. Not tourists, but rather enthusiasts who love life. If you enjoy hiking, you'll love it. Until 1923, Kaş belonged to Greece and was called Antiphellos. Today, it's called Kaş (meaning "eyebrow" in Turkish) due to its location. The Greek island of Kastelorizo ​​(Meis) lies 7 km offshore from Kas. A Schengen visa is required to visit. Please note: the town has no shopping centers, chain coffee shops (except for Gloria Jeans, and yes, that's a € coffee shop), beauty salons, gyms, or other traditional leisure facilities. This may come as a shock to many, but I believe it's a great way to detox and find adventure even in these conditions. All of this is easily substituted by local businesses: there's a gym in a villa, pull-up bars in the local town hall parks, a tennis court, and a football field at a school accessible to anyone. In 2023, a reformer Pilates studio opened in an apartment, and a dance studio opened across the street from the central coffee shop. Be sure to visit the local Friday market! It's a real event for the town. Local farmers from the villages come together to sell their homemade cheeses, olives, vegetables, and fruits. It all has an incredibly atmospheric atmosphere. They also set up tables where local grandmothers bake traditional gozleme flatbreads in the open air. All roads lead to... the Greek amphitheater! It's a local landmark. Yoga classes are held in the morning, you can get lost in your thoughts during the day, and everyone comes here in the evening for the sunset. Every month, the amphitheater hosts various music and film festivals. It's also a great observation deck. And since I mentioned beauty treatments, The local barbers give men pretty decent haircuts, but the ladies weren't so lucky: I never dared to go to a Turkish salon. But you can always find barbers for any occasion in Russian-language chats. Come visit, Kaş will impress everyone ❤️ #Turkey #Travel #Kaş

Patara is a rare destination where the echoes of ancient politics meet the wild beauty of the Mediterranean. It offers a 2-for-1 experience: a sprawling archaeological site that was once the capital of the Lycian League and an 18km stretch of golden sand that serves as a vital sanctuary for endangered sea turtles. Here is your comprehensive guide to Patara Ancient City & Beach, styled for a Trip.com Nature & History Escape: 🏛️ & 🏖️ Patara: Where Democracy Meets the Deep Blue 🇹🇷 Located between the popular resort towns of Kaş and Kalkan, Patara is a protected National Park. To reach the beach, you must pass through the ancient ruins, making it one of the most atmospheric commutes in the world. 🌟 Why This is a "Trip Moment" The World’s Oldest Parliament: Patara was the capital of the Lycian League, the world’s first democratic union. You can sit in the Bouleuterion (Parliament Building), which was meticulously restored and once hosted elected representatives from across Lycia. The "Santa Claus" Connection: Patara is the legendary birthplace of St. Nicholas (the historical figure behind Santa Claus), who was born here in 270 AD before moving to Myra. Turtle Sanctuary: The beach is one of the few remaining nesting grounds for Caretta Caretta (Loggerhead) sea turtles. Because of this, the beach has remained completely undeveloped—no hotels or high-rises, just endless dunes and waves. 📸 Top Photo Opportunities The Sand Dunes (Kum Tepesi): For a "desert" aesthetic, head to the dunes at the northern end of the beach. It’s the ultimate spot for sunset photography; the view of the sun dipping into the Mediterranean from the top of a golden dune is unmatched. The Nero Lighthouse: Standing near the ancient harbor, this is one of the oldest standing lighthouses in the world, built by Emperor Nero. It looks like a solitary stone sentinel against the marshy landscape. The Theater: Perched on the slope of Kurşunlutepe Hill, the theater offers a grand view of the city ruins and the distant sea. 💡 Insider Tips for Travelers The "Turtle Rules": From May to October, the beach belongs to the turtles at night. It is strictly closed to humans from 20:00 to 08:00. During the day, avoid sticking umbrellas into the sand near marked nests—these are designated by cages to protect the eggs. One Ticket, Two Wonders: Your entrance fee (approx. 15–20 Euro / 450–600 TL in 2026) covers both the ancient city and the beach. Keep your ticket handy if you plan to leave and come back. Facilities & Food: There is one large café run by the local municipality near the beach entrance. It offers affordable snacks, gözleme, and cold drinks. Beyond this point, there are no facilities for the next 18km, so bring water if you plan to hike the dunes. Beat the Heat: The ruins offer very little shade. Explore the Ancient City at 08:30 AM, then retreat to the sea by 11:00 AM when the sun gets intense. 🗺️ Visitor Information Location: Gelemiş Village, Kaş/Antalya. Hours: 08:00

📅 Itinerary Day1: Istanbul Day2: Istanbul Day3: Kas Day4: Kas Day5: Kas Day6: Kas Day7: Istanbul 🏨 Accommodation: Istanbul Hotel Gonen, and rented a villa for 4 days in Kas. 🍴 Food Recommendations: not a foodie so didn’t really care much.

Much better if you drive yourself. #travel2026 #travel #beachlife

If you're passing through Kaş, which is about 3.5-4 hours from Antalya, here's what to do: ▪️Stroll through the old town ▪️Go to a carpet shop ▪️Look at cats ▪️Go to a coffee shop ▪️Buy a handmade ring at a silver jewelry shop ▪️Visit the ancient theater in the evening. It's a beautiful place to watch the sunset, and sometimes there are performances. Tip: The city is very narrow, and the terrain is mountainous. If you're driving, parking can be a challenge.

A very beautiful beach🩵 Keep in mind that climbing the steps into the scorching heat isn't easy. Bring water with you. The cafes are unreasonably overpriced and there are a lot of people there. It's better to arrive in the morning; there will be fewer people in the photos and the sun will be in a good position.🙃 Be sure to stop by if you're in Kaş; it's nearby, about a 20-minute drive. #Kash #Kaputash

#winterescape 🌿 Stroll Through Kas Uzun Carsi: Where History Meets Hip Vibes Kas Uzun Carsi is the old town pedestrian heart of Kas, blending Ottoman charm with lively boutiques, cafes, and artisan shops. Get ready to soak in colorful storefronts, handcrafts, and the warm coastal buzz throughout the day. 🛣️ Recommended Route: Start at Natura Blue (Andifli, Uzun Çarşı Sk. 1/A) and wander along Uzun Carsi Street, letting the cobblestones guide you. Pause to admire well-preserved Greek-Ottoman architecture and quirky old wooden doors—every turn reveals something new! 🌟 Must-Do Experiences: Browse local jewelry, textiles, and ceramics in tiny family-run shops. Stop for Turkish coffee or ice cream at a street side café and watch the world go by. Don’t miss the antique Lycian sarcophagus sitting right in the street—unique to Kas! 📸 Insta-worthy Photo Spots: Capture vibrant shop facades and flower-laden balconies. The sarcophagus, amid bustling shops, offers a one-of-a-kind shot. Early morning (before crowds) gives soft light and empty streets—perfect for photos. 🕘 Practical Visiting Tips: Most shops open from 10:00 AM till late (especially in summer). The street is compact but rich—take your time, and wear comfy shoes. Drop by Natura Blue for trendy accessories or souvenirs. ⚠️ Precautions: Some stretches get crowded midday. Keep an eye on your belongings in busier pockets. If visiting in summer, bring water and a sun hat—the street is mostly open and can get hot! #Kas #UzunCarsi #TurkeyTravel #StreetStyle #ArtisanShopping

Kaş... A small yet picturesque town: cobblestone streets, flower-covered houses, blue shutters, and charming balconies💙 This aesthetic is reminiscent of Mediterranean coastal towns. And it's not just a feeling. These lands used to belong to Greece, and its influence can still be felt in every corner. Kaş is even called the most "Greek" town in Turkey. Kaş doesn't have a classic city beach. Instead, the coastline is lined with beach clubs featuring convenient ladders directly into the sea. If you're looking for a proper beach, I recommend visiting Kaputaş Beach. It's the postcard-perfect beach, considered one of the most beautiful in Turkey😍🌊 So, if you love Greek vibes, the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea, and a laid-back atmosphere, make sure to visit this charming Turkish town😉
