June, September and October are hot without being too much, and the sea is warm. July and August are very hot, so plan a long lunch in the shade. Winter is mild but wet, and many places close.

Kaş: common questions

Is Kaş good for a family holiday?

Yes, for families who like swimming, boats and a relaxed small town. Most of the coast is rocky, so it suits confident swimmers better than toddlers who want sand.

How many nights do you need?

A week gives time for boat trips, a couple of beach days and Patara or Saklıkent. Stay ten nights to slow down.

How do you get there from the UK?

Fly to Dalaman or Antalya, about four hours from the UK, then drive or transfer for two to three hours. British passport holders don't need a visa for short stays.

Where can children swim?

Hotels and beach clubs have swimming platforms and ladders into deep water. For sand, head to Kaputaş or Patara. Water shoes help on the rocks.
