Kaş is a sanctuary for adventurers and romantics alike. Ancient Lycian rock tombs stand right in the town center among modern buildings, serving as reminders of a millennia-old past. The town is famous for its crystal-clear waters, making it Turkey's premier diving destination where one can even explore shipwrecks. The atmosphere is friendly and bohemian, filled with small art galleries, craft shops, and cozy jazz bars. Opposite the town lies the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo), reachable by daily boat services. Boat trips to the sunken city of Kekova and the Simena castle are among the most popular activities in the area. Local gastronomy focuses on seafood and traditional mezes, often served right at the water's edge. Kaş remains free of large hotel complexes, characterized instead by boutique hotels and guesthouses. Dalaman Airport is about a two-hour drive away, but the coastal road is exceptionally scenic. The most pleasant times to visit are May, June, or autumn, when the water is warm but the air is not too hot for exploring the town.
