Kaş Airport Transfer & Taxi

Your local guide to Kaş

Beaches & the sea

Kaş is more about clear water than wide sandy beaches; the coast here is rocky, with small pebble beaches, swimming platforms and ladders set into the rocks where the sea is deep, cool and astonishingly clear. That clarity is exactly why divers flock here. Nearby Kaputaş Beach, a short drive away, is a stunning little cove of pale shingle and vivid turquoise water tucked between cliffs. Boat trips reach quiet bays and the sunken ruins of Kekova for swimming over submerged history. Bring water shoes and a snorkel; the underwater world is as much the attraction as the shoreline itself.

Things to see & do

As Turkey's diving capital, Kaş offers world-class scuba over reefs, caves and wrecks, with schools all around the harbour. Above the streets, the Lycian rock tombs and a well-preserved ancient theatre on the headland tell of the town's long history. The atmospheric old town invites slow wandering among craft shops, galleries and cafes. Day trips include sea-kayaking over the sunken city of Kekova, boat excursions along the coast, and even a ferry across to the tiny Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) just offshore. For walkers, sections of the famous Lycian Way trail pass close by, threading the cliffs and coves.

Food & town life

Kaş has a relaxed, slightly bohemian spirit that sets it apart from the bigger resorts. The old town's narrow, bougainvillea-draped lanes are full of small restaurants and meze houses, family-run cafes and bars where the evenings stay mellow rather than raucous. Fresh fish, Turkish home cooking and creative menus all feature, often served on tiny terraces or beside the harbour. There is a strong independent, artistic feel, with handmade crafts and live music in summer. Life moves at a gentle pace here; people come to swim, dive, eat well and unwind, and the town's easygoing charm keeps drawing them back.

Practical tips for visitors

Kaş is perfect for divers, walkers, couples and independent travellers who prefer character and scenery over big sandy beaches and large resorts. The town centre is walkable, but the surrounding terrain is hilly, so comfortable shoes help. Pack water shoes for the rocky swimming spots and a snorkel for the clear water. A day trip by ferry to Meis is a memorable, low-effort outing if you have your passport. Public transport along this coast is limited, so private transfers or a hire car make reaching Kaputaş and beyond easier. Given the long 202 km drive from the airport, a pre-booked private transfer is the stress-free way to arrive.

Getting to Kaş & your transfer

Antalya Airport (AYT) is the arrival airport for Kaş, lying about 202 km to the east along the dramatic western coast. It is a long drive of roughly three hours, winding through mountains, pine forest and a succession of sea views, and it is not the kind of journey you want to navigate by bus after a flight. A fixed-price private door-to-door transfer is the comfortable answer: your driver waits at arrivals with meet and greet, tracks your flight so delays are covered, brings free child seats for families, and is contactable 24/7 on WhatsApp. You settle into the car, enjoy one of Turkey's most beautiful coastal drives, and arrive at your hotel in Kaş relaxed and ready to explore.
