Kas is a small, characterful town on Turkey's Mediterranean coast, set against a backdrop of hills and looking out over strikingly clear water. It has a more relaxed, low-rise feel than the larger Turkish resorts, which is exactly its appeal.

British couples and easygoing families come here for warm seas, sunny days and a gentle pace, with good swimming and snorkelling close at hand.

Where to stay in Kas

Samira Exclusive Hotel and Apartments in Kas is a four star, apartment style hotel overlooking the Mediterranean, a comfortable base with sea views and the flexibility of self-catering when you want it.

Getting there and when to go

Reaching Kas usually means a package flight to the wider Antalya coast followed by a scenic coastal transfer. The sunshine runs from late spring into October, with high summer the hottest and the shoulder months pleasantly warm and quieter.

Beaches and resorts

Kas is known more for rocky inlets, swimming platforms and crystal clear water than for big sandy beaches, so it rewards anyone who loves snorkelling and diving. The town itself is compact and easy to explore on foot.

Food and things to do

Harbourside dining is a real pleasure here, with fresh fish, mezze and grilled meats. Boat trips along the coast are a highlight, and the surrounding landscape is good for walking and quiet exploration.

Who it suits

Kas suits couples and independent minded families who prefer charm and clear water to nightlife and high-rise resorts. It is a calm, scenic choice.
