Kaş Turkey Travel Guide
A practical Kaş travel guide: old town, beaches, diving, Kekova, ancient sites, food and the slower rhythm of Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
This guide is designed for independent travellers who want to understand the place rather than simply tick off sights. It brings together the landscape, local character, practical context and the historical layers that make this part of the Turkish Riviera distinctive.
What makes it worth visiting
The appeal here lies in the combination of Mediterranean scenery and a landscape shaped by ancient Lycia. Allow enough time to explore at an unhurried pace, particularly in the warmer months, and avoid building a day around too many distant stops.
