About Kaş
Kaş (pronounced "Kash") is a small Lycian town with a population of around 10,000 — a complete contrast to the mass-tourism resorts further east.
Why people come:
- Diving: crystal-clear waters with visibility up to 40 metres, WWII wrecks, marine protected areas
- History: Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs above the town, ancient theatre overlooking the sea
- Kayaking: sea kayaking around the islands and sea caves
- Slow travel: boutique hotels, independent restaurants, small-town atmosphere
Kaş attracts a very different tourist to Belek or Alanya — typically independent travellers, divers, sailors, and visitors who have already done the larger resorts.
The scenic D400 drive
The transfer from Antalya to Kaş passes through some of Turkey's most dramatic coastal scenery:
- Kemer (45 km) — pine-forested mountains meet the sea
- Olympos (75 km) — ancient city, Chimaera eternal flames
- Finike (130 km) — citrus orchards, marina town
- Demre (165 km) — St Nicholas basilica (the original Santa Claus), Myra ruins
- Kaş (200 km) — Lycian harbour town
If you arrive during daylight, the mountain sections after Kemer offer extraordinary sea views. Consider requesting a brief stop at Olympos (driver can wait).
Booking tips for long-distance transfers
1. Book well in advance — Kaş has limited drivers, especially in high season.
2. Confirm exact address — Kaş has no large resort; give the exact hotel name or street address.
3. Consider arrival time — a night arrival means driving mountain roads in the dark. Not dangerous but less scenic. The driver is experienced on this route.
4. Return transfer — book both legs together. Return from Kaş is the same fixed price.
5. Group travel: a €280 minivan for 6 people costs only €47 per person each way.
