About Kaş

About Kaş

Kaş is the Lycian harbour town beloved by divers and yachters — 195 km from Antalya Airport, with daily ferries to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) and a Hellenistic amphitheatre opening onto the sea.

Bohemian, slow and effortlessly cool. Kaş is a small bowl of a town wrapped around a yacht-dotted harbour, where mornings start with strong Turkish coffee, afternoons disappear into the sea, and evenings stretch out across cobbled lanes of boutique cafes, craft shops and open-air bars. Backpackers, divers and creatives mix with families, and nobody is in a hurry. The pace is unmistakably Mediterranean, with the Greek island of Meis glittering just offshore as a constant reminder of how close two cultures sit here.

Best season
Late April to June and September to October are the sweet spots: warm sunshine, swimmable sea and far thinner crowds than peak summer. July and August are hot, lively and busiest, ideal for nightlife, boat trips and non-stop sunshine. Diving is best from May through October when the water is warmest and visibility is at its finest. Winters are mild but quiet, with many seasonal businesses closed.
Hidden gem · Antiphellos Theatre at sunset
A five-to-ten-minute stroll from the centre along the peninsula sits the small Hellenistic theatre of ancient Antiphellos, built from local limestone in the 1st century BC. It is free, rarely crowded, and faces straight out to sea toward Meis. Climb the upper tiers in the late afternoon, watch the light turn gold over the water, and you have the best free seat in Kaş.
What Kaş is famous for

Six reasons people choose Kaş

The standout features that set Kaş apart from every other Antalya region.

🤿
Turkey's diving capital
Kaş is widely regarded as the finest scuba destination on the Turquoise Coast, with crystal-clear water, dramatic walls and reefs, an old anchor field and wreck dives all within a short boat ride of the harbour.
🏛️
Kekova sunken city
Just east of Kaş, the ancient Lycian port of Dolichiste slid into the sea after 2nd-century earthquakes. Staircases, walls and foundations shimmer beneath the surface along Kekova island, best seen by boat or sea kayak.
🇬🇷
Greek-island feel
Bougainvillea-draped lanes, whitewashed houses and a laid-back harbour give Kaş a Greek-isle atmosphere, helped by the island of Meis (Kastellorizo) sitting just across the water, a 20-30 minute ferry away.
🪂
Paragliding over the bay
Tandem flights launch from the slopes above town, drifting over the harbour, the turquoise bay and the offshore islands before landing near the shore, one of the most scenic flying spots in the region.
🛶
Sea kayaking at Kekova
Paddling from Üçağız over the protected sunken-city ruins is the closest anyone can get to them, since swimming and diving directly above the ruins are forbidden. A gentle, unforgettable half-day on glassy water.
🪦
Lycian rock tombs
Carved into the cliffs above the streets and dotted through town, Kaş's Lycian tombs include the famous 4th-century-BC King's Tomb (Lion Sarcophagus) standing right at the top of Uzun Çarşı in the centre.
What to do

Things to do in Kaş

A short-list our drivers and dispatchers recommend after dropping guests at their hotel.

🤿
Dive the Turquoise Coast
Book a half- or full-day dive with one of Kaş's many PADI centres to explore walls, reefs, caverns and an underwater amphora field. Beginners can try a discovery dive; certified divers will find sites for every level just minutes from the harbour.
🛶
Kayak over Kekova
Join a guided sea-kayaking trip from Üçağız, gliding directly above the sunken-city ruins and around quiet bays. Most tours include swim stops and a stroll up to the Byzantine castle and Lycian tombs at Kaleköy (Simena).
🪂
Go paragliding
Take a tandem paraglide off the hills above town for a bird's-eye view of the bay, the rooftops of Kaş and the scatter of islands offshore. Flights are usually best in the calmer morning hours.
Take a boat trip
Day boats leave the harbour for swimming and snorkelling stops at hidden coves, blue caves and the Kekova area. It's the classic Kaş way to spend a sunny day on the water, lunch usually included.
🛍️
Browse the Friday market
Kaş's weekly pazar fills the lanes behind the bus station with fresh produce, olives, cheeses and spices brought down by villagers from the surrounding hills. It's the liveliest, most local morning of the week.
⛴️
Ferry to Meis (Kastellorizo)
Cross to the tiny Greek island of Kastellorizo in 20-30 minutes for a different country, currency and cuisine in an afternoon. Bring your passport and check schedules and visa rules before you go.
Worth seeing

Must-see sights near Kaş

All reachable on a half-day or full-day private Mercedes tour.

🪦
King's Tomb (Lion Sarcophagus)
A magnificent 4th-century-BC Lycian sarcophagus on a tall base, topped with two lion heads and an ancient Lycian inscription. It stands at the top of Uzun Çarşı in the heart of town, ringed by cafes and shops.
🏛️
Antiphellos Theatre
The well-preserved Hellenistic theatre of ancient Antiphellos, once seating thousands, perched on the peninsula with open views to the sea and Meis. A short, easy walk from the centre and free to visit.
🏖️
Kaputaş Beach
One of Turkey's most photographed beaches, set in a cleft of limestone cliffs between Kaş and Kalkan. A long stairway drops to a small strand of dazzling turquoise water, postcard-perfect but busy in summer.
🏰
Kaleköy & Simena Castle
Reached by boat or kayak across the Kekova waters, this car-free village climbs to a Byzantine castle with Lycian rock tombs and sweeping views, with sarcophagi standing half-submerged just offshore.
Trip tricks

Travel tips for Kaş transfers

What we tell every guest before they fly in. Save these on your phone before landing.

🚗
Plan the airport run
Kaş sits about 190 km southwest of Antalya Airport, roughly a 3-hour drive on the scenic but winding D400 coast road. A private transfer is the most comfortable option, and door-to-door beats juggling bus connections with luggage.
👟
Pack water shoes
Most Kaş beaches are pebble or rock rather than sand. Reef-safe water shoes make swimming, boat ladders and the steps down to coves far more comfortable, and the town's steep cobbled lanes reward sturdy footwear too.
🛂
Carry your passport for Meis
The ferry to Kastellorizo is an international crossing into Greece, so bring your passport and check current visa requirements and sailing times in advance, schedules thin out outside summer.
🌅
Dive early, dine late
Mornings are calmest for diving, kayaking and paragliding, while Kaş truly comes alive after dark. Save the harbour-side dinners and lane-hopping bars for the evening, when the heat eases and the town glows.
FAQ

Kaş transfer · frequently asked

Quick answers about transfers, distance and what to expect on arrival.

How far is Kaş from Antalya Airport and how long is the transfer?

Kaş is around 190 km southwest of Antalya Airport (AYT), and the drive takes roughly 3 hours along the D400 coast road. The route is beautiful but winding through the mountains, so a private door-to-door transfer is the most relaxing way to arrive.

What's the best way to get from Antalya Airport to Kaş?

Your main options are a private transfer, a shared shuttle, or intercity buses (usually changing at Antalya's otogar). A private transfer is the most direct and comfortable, taking you straight from the terminal to your hotel without changes, which matters on a 3-hour journey with luggage.

Is there a closer airport to Kaş than Antalya?

Dalaman Airport (DLM) is a similar distance to the west, also around 3 hours away, so many visitors use whichever has the better flight. Antalya (AYT) typically has more international connections, and either way a private transfer covers the final stretch easily.

Do I need a car in Kaş?

Not for the town itself, which is compact and walkable, with boat trips, dive centres and tours all bookable locally. A car or transfer helps for day trips to spots like Kaputaş Beach, Patara or Kekova if you prefer not to join organised tours.

When is the best time to visit Kaş?

Late April to June and September to October offer warm weather, a swimmable sea and fewer crowds, while July and August are hottest and liveliest. For diving, May to October gives the warmest water and best visibility; winters are mild but quiet.
