Kas, Antalya, Turkey
Food scene
In this category I will concentrate on restaurant recommendations for kas peninsula as well as kas center.
Unique place for lunch or a snack in between meals. Anatolian fluffy bread stuffed with pulled meats and special sauces. Tastefully decorated, cute place to hang out.

My favorite place for breakfast. It is very likely that there will be a line, since it's a tiny restaurant with just a few tables, but definitely worth the wait. No reservations, unfortunately!
Dudu Mutfak

Exquisite wine list, best steak in town. Definitely one of my favorite places for dinner.

When it's about picking a breakfast place, there's a big debate in my family whether it should be dudu mutfak or Pell's. In the end it's good to have two great options.

La kumsal is among the closest restaurants to the villa. Walking will take only 10minutes. It's a hotel with a la carte dining; open to non hotel guests as well. They offer a nice selection of European/Turkish dishes. We liked every dish we ordered. So don't be scared, you can't go wrong whatever you order.

What’s funny about Smiley’s is that it looks very touristy, but in reality it is a local favorite. Great selection of Turkish appetizers, also called meze, and fresh fish. And if you want to dine like a Turk, you should order a glass of raki :)

Inexpensive home cooking. Their specialty is manti, a type of dumpling with a special meat mixture wrapped in a thin dough which is then boiled or steamed. topped with a yoghurt/garlic/tomato sauce. Also try the stuffed grape leaves.

One of the few restaurants on the peninsula. Extremely popular with meat lovers. In season, you should make a reservation.

Turkish food is great, without a doubt. But for those days when we want a little change, this French restaurant in Kas is a great option. I had the French onion soup, potato gratin, and fish. Everything was delicious. Forgot to mention, I started off with a really yummy cocktail.

In the center of old town with an extensive selection of Turkish as well as other cuisines from pizza to seafood. There will definitely be something for every member of your family.

My favorite beaches/beach clubs
In this category I concentrate on beaches in and around kas and kalkan.
Limanagzi consists of several beach clubs and is only accessible by boat. You can also hike along parts of the lycian way, but might not be suitable for everyone. Boats are available at the old harbor, right by the town square. These beaches will be fine, even in high season when most public beaches will be crowded. There is no extra fee for sun loungers and umbrellas, but you are supposed to consume food and drinks at a specific amount.

Beach club close to the villa, even walkable on a not too hot day. But on the bus route anyways. Also called Blanca Beach. Very nice crystal clear water. You don't have to use the Beach club, but won't be able to use any of the facilities if you choose not to.

Translated it means Big Pebble Beach, a little outside of town center. You can walk, take a taxi, or go by minibus. I recommend walking at least one way, really nice views along the way.
Beautiful small beach with restaurants, bars, and option to rent umbrellas and sunbeds.

Kaputas beach is probably among the most photographed beaches in Turkey and rightfully so. It is breathtaking, but unfortunately it can also get so crowded that it is hard to appreciate its beauty at times.
It is between Kas and Kalkan, a 15-20 min drive with one of the busses going to Kalkan or Patara beach. There is a cafe/restaurant run by the town for drinks and snacks.

Beautiful turquoise water; public beach between Kas centre and Peninsula. You can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, restaurant and cafe run by city. Can get crowded during July and August, but breathtaking if you can go during low season months.

A rear find in this part of Turkey: a beautiful white sand beach. At 18km also one of the longest beaches in Turkey. Umbrellas, sun loungers, snacks, and drinks available. Makes for a wonderful day trip, approximately 45 km from Kas. Entrance is free if combined with visiting the ruins.

Incebogaz beach, thin or narrow throat, is at the thinnest part of the peninsula. Two beaches are separated by the narrow main road. From the villa I recommend bus or car. From town it is walkable. You get two different beaches in one. On one side you have a protected calm beach facing the marina and on the other side you have the open sea, can be windy and wavy at times.

Kucuk cakil beach, small pebble beach, is a cute little beach right in town, flanked by a few beach clubs. It’s a small beach, so can get crowded.

Nearby towns/cities worth visiting
In this section you’ll find travel tips for nearby towns and cities.
Kalkan is officially a neighborhood of kas, but in recent years has made a name for itself. It’s a 30 min drive from kas and public transportation is readily available. With an adorable old town with narrow streets and old houses, cute little shops, cafes, and restaurants, many beach clubs, and a beautiful turquoise blue beach right in the center of town, it is absolutely worth visiting.
