Kaş (pronounced Kaash) is a beach resort in Lycia on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It attracts a mixed crowd of British, German and Russian tourists but isn't on the package-holiday circuit, as its beaches are small and stony, and there are better beaches within a shorter transfer from the airports. In 2022 its population was 9084.
Long-established favourite by the Lycian sarcophagus on "slippery street".
Serve a verarity of food, meat, fish (locally sourced), meze (tapas style). It's mostly a family-restaurant.
formerly Ani
Basic backpacker stop, some large rooms with a balcony, others closet-size. Friendliness of reception variable, and bookings through third-party sites are often not honoured.
Almost at the foot of the peninsula, this is a friendly well-run place near the beach.
Charming whitewashed guesthouse on the slopes back of town, with great sunset views.
Great value at this clean friendly hotel at the top of Hükümet Cd.
Clean modern hotel south edge of downtown, with great views over the bay. But it's 4 storeys with no elevator, the aircon is ineffective, and they don't accept children under 12.
Small friendly hotel on the beachfront. No elevator, and some noise from people clattering up and down the stairwell.
Pleasant site among olive trees just west of town.
Smart new hotel, friendly slick service.
Quiet relaxing hotel on the peninsula beachfront.
Great reviews for comfort and service.
