A scenic beach with turquoise waters surrounded by towering cliffs. Here, you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas or simply lay down your own towel. The beach is about a 30-minute drive from Kaş — be sure to arrive early to beat the crowd.

A wild, 18-kilometer stretch of sand near Kaş. Here, you will find quiet spots even on busy days. The beach is located right by the ancient ruins of Patara — take this as an opportunity to combine swimming and sunbathing with sightseeing.

A pebble beach close to the center of town. On the shore, you’ll find wooden platforms with umbrellas to provide shade, along with a café terrace offering beautiful sea views. The water gets deep quickly — give it a try if you’re a confident swimmer.

A small bay with a hotel beach, ideal for snorkeling. For those who prefer staying on shore, the staff serves cocktails and snacks to relaxing music. On the way back to town, you can stop to explore the ruins of the ancient city of Antiphellos.

An ancient Lycian port city transformed into modern-day Kaş. Its amphitheater is still standing — you will find it between the old town and the peninsula. Visit the ruins in the evening to enjoy a gorgeous sunset view over the bay.

The largest city of Lycia, founded in the first millennium BC. Today, the ruins of Xanthos are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through the archaeological digs to see the ancient amphitheater, necropolis, and basilica.

The picturesque ruins of ancient Myra, famous for its unique rock-cut tombs. The city is also known as the home of Saint Nicholas — he served as a bishop here. After exploring the site, stop by the town of Demre for a snack or a cup of strong tea.

The remains of an ancient settlement that was partially submerged after an earthquake in the 2nd century AD. You can reach the partially underwater city by boat — tours from nearby Demre and Kaş pass through numerous scenic bays along the way.

Kaş's Old Town is a maze of narrow stone-paved streets lined with well-preserved Ottoman architecture. Take a stroll through souvenir and handmade carpet shops, then unwind with tea at one of the authentic local cafés.
