Why Kaş belongs on your Turkey itinerary
Kaş is a small harbour town in Antalya Province, set between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. It is quieter than many large resort centres but rich in nature, Lycian history and sea activities. For travellers planning a coastal holiday, Kaş is ideal for Turkey beach travel, Lycian Coast sightseeing and easy day trips toward Kalkan, Patara, Demre and Kekova.
1. Watch sunset at Antiphellos Theatre
The ancient theatre of Antiphellos sits just above the town with open views across the sea. It is one of the easiest historical stops in Kaş because you can walk there from the centre. Visit late afternoon for soft light, then continue into the harbour streets for dinner. It is a strong first stop for visitors interested in Kaş historical sites and relaxed old-town travel.
2. Swim at Kaputaş Beach
Kaputaş Beach lies between Kaş and Kalkan, below the D400 coastal road. The beach is famous for bright turquoise water and steep canyon walls. It can be busy in summer, so an early start is best. If you are staying in Kaş without a rental car, a private Kaş to Kaputaş transfer is a simple way to combine the beach with Kalkan or Patara in the same day.
3. Take a Kekova boat or sea-kayak trip
Kekova is one of the region's most memorable coastal excursions. Boat trips and guided sea-kayak routes pass clear bays, village harbours and the famous sunken-city area. For a smoother day, arrange a Kaş to Kekova transfer or private pickup to the departure point, especially if your tour begins early.
4. Go diving in clear Mediterranean water
Kaş is one of Turkey's best-known diving bases, with reefs, walls, wreck sites and training options for different levels. Even if you do not dive, snorkelling coves and boat-swim stops make the sea a central part of the trip. Divers carrying equipment should consider a vehicle with extra luggage space and book a private transfer for diving holidays in Kaş.
5. Explore the harbour, Çukurbağ Peninsula and Meis views
Leave time for slow travel: breakfast in the old streets, beach clubs around the Çukurbağ Peninsula, viewpoints toward the Greek island of Meis, and evening walks around the marina. Seasonal ferries and boat trips can add an international feel to the holiday, but even a simple sunset route around the peninsula is memorable.
How to get to Kaş
The most common arrival routes are Dalaman Airport to Kaş transfer and Antalya Airport to Kaş transfer. Dalaman is usually shorter by road, while Antalya can be useful for flight availability. Aslar Travel provides door-to-door private airport transfers to hotels, villas, apartments and marina addresses in Kaş, Kalkan and nearby coastal destinations.
