OVERVIEW

Kaş is a small Mediterranean town on Turkey’s south western coast, built around a marina and steep streets climbing from the harbour. Ancient tombs, diving sites and boat trips provide strong variety, while cafés and restaurants keep the centre lively without the scale of a major resort. Coast and islands belong to the same connected landscape, although they often feel distinct on arrival.

Nearby coves and mountain roads offer quieter alternatives during the busiest summer weeks. Diving and boat journeys reveal a coast of submerged ruins, clear water and rocky islands that is difficult to understand from the harbour alone. Routes through harbour lead naturally towards islands, so the experience changes without requiring long transfers.
