The city of Kas is located in Turkey on the Mediterranean coast. It is the capital of the region of the same name on the Teke Peninsula in the province of Antalya. Antalya and Antalya Airport are 190 kilometers to the northeast, Dalaman Airport is 190 kilometers to the northwest.
Distance to the largest cities of the country: Istanbul - 840 kilometers to the north, Ankara - 680 kilometers to the northeast, Izmir - 440 kilometers to the northwest.
Neighboring resorts of Kas: to the northwest is the resort of Fethiye, to the east is the resort of Demre.
Kas is considered the westernmost (extreme) resort of the Mediterranean coast. The resort of Fethiye, located further to the west, is already commonly referred to as the Aegean coast, since Fethiye is already in the province of Mugla.
The Kas resort is not at all like the Turkish resorts familiar to Russians - Antalya, Belek, Kemer, Side or Alanya. Russian tourists are accustomed to a long beach line, along which large hotels are built. The resort of Kas does not have a long beach line or large hotels. There is a long beach only near the village of Gelemish, but there are no hotels at all along this beach.
By Turkish standards, Kas can be called a small resort - there are only a couple of dozen full-fledged hotels. There are about a hundred apart-hotels, guest houses, mini-hotels. However, if you use search engines for tours and hotels on the Internet, you will see dozens of hotels with stars. Know that these stars are "drawn", it is unreasonable to trust these stars. Conclusions: carefully study the hotel from photos and reviews.
Also, two hundred villas and apartments for rent to tourists. In general, the resort of Kas is more like the Aegean resorts of Turkey than the Mediterranean ones. We will talk about hotels in detail below when we consider the four resort areas of Kas.
The region of Kas is sparsely populated with only 55,000 permanent residents. During the tourist season, due to visiting workers in the tourism sector, the population increases to 100,000 people.
The region is very warm, even banana trees grow here and bananas ripen. For example, in Antalya or Kemer, banana trees also grow, but bananas cannot ripen on them, it is too cold. And in the area of Kas bananas ripen!
We advise you to definitely visit this resort town, especially since the road to the city from Antalya is very picturesque, runs along the coast and has amazing sea views.
