in Kas, Turkey 14 to 26 October 2023
14 – 26 October 2023
Kas, Turkey
Kas is a small town, almost equidistant from Dalaman and Antalya airports. The small local population, mountains, pine trees and sea add to the cosiness of the town. Local tourism is well catered for: climb mountains, parachute jump and land directly at the harbour; visit local beaches and dive for turtles; hire a yacht and go for a boat trip along the coast for a short sea tour of the ancient Lycian fortress and submerged city. You can take a ferry to a neighbouring Greek island (on a visa) or rent a car and drive to Saklikent Gorge, ford the cold mountain river and explore the caves where the river begins. In the evenings you can wander around the souvenir shops, drink classic pomegranate juice and oriental coffee, sit in small cosy restaurants and enjoy baklava and oriental cuisine.
Accommodation in Kas is available in both hotels and private apartments. The variety will allow you to find accommodation to suit your taste and budget, whether in the centre on the seafront or higher up the mountain with an incredible view of the bay. If you're keen, you can even find hostels and a few places to camp or stay in a tent just outside the city. Some are free.
There is a public beach (Halk beach) within a twenty-minute walk or 3-4 minutes by car from the town centre, where the CMAS centre has a good infrastructure. There are several platforms with accessible depths of 30, 60 and 90 metres 200-250 metres from the shore.
