Kaş is a
very attractive holiday
destination in Turkey.
It is situated on the beautiful south coast with its clear
blue water
and surrounded by splendid nature,
and has a central position to a great deal of antique monuments
and historical sites.
It also offers a broad range of sport activities.

Kas is a wonderful town
and there are a lot of things to see and do in the environment .
Don't
miss the Saklikent Gorge, unforgettable!
The boat trips to the islands around Kas
and Kekova were wonderful.
Swimming in the deep blue sea a delight.
The
kids did swim with dolphins, they will remember it their whole
life.
People here are exceptional friendly and we
have made a lot of friends.

There are many beautiful excavations and the area is
not yet fully developed.
This gives you a bit the feeling that you're an explorer.

In one day
you can visit the ruins of ancient Myra (interesting because
of the Lycian rock tombs), the Saint Nicolas
Basilica
of Demre,
the
waterfall between
Kaş and Kalkan and the gorgeous
Saklikent Gorge .
Lovers of ancient antiquities shoudalso visit the ruins of tlos or Arykanda

To the west of Kaş are still remnants of the ancient Lycian cities of
Xanthos,
Letoon
and Patara (birthplace of St. Nicholas, and beautiful beaches in a
protected nature area).
Furthermore a trip back to Xanthos , in the neighbourhood of Kalkan,
is very worthwhile.
When you
like nature then the hinterland of Kaş (villages Gombe / Kasaba)
is very nice.

In
view of the high temperatures we spent most of the time
on sea.
Between nine and ten o'clock there is a wide choice in the
harbour (don't forget your snorkel !), the
boats run in all directions!!

A trip by boat along the
magnificent and unspoiled coast is a
tremendous experience.
There are (glass) boat tours to the sunken Byzantine city of Kekova.
The Greek Island of Kastelorizon (Meis) lies opposite
Kaş.
You can visit this colorful island by ferryboat.

Our oldest son
followed two diving courses at "Kas Diving".
Very professional approach and friendly guidance. He has enjoyed the many
dive sites around Kas.
And what a clear seawater!

The very rocky coast of Kaş made it a popular destination for diving .
There
are a number of excellent dive and snorkel spots.
It offers ample opportunity fore cave - and wreck diving.
There are at least 20 diving schools!
Also sea kayaking and canyoning can be practiced.
Kaş is a favorite starting point for the Blue Cruise holidays
and sailors see it as a popular destination.
Paragliding, mountaineering and hiking:
Kaş is a great place for paragliding from the Taurus
Mountains (the 2nd best place in Turkey).
Abseiling is
practiced in the Saklikent Gorge and mountain
biking is a popular sport.
For hikers, it is also a great area. The first Turkish long distance footpath, the more than
two thousands years old Lycian Pathway , runs along Kaş.
