Ekici Hotel is another practical choice in Kaş, the kind of small town hotel that serves travellers who spend most of the day outdoors. Hotels like this usually emphasise friendly service, clean rooms, a simple breakfast and good local advice on boat trips, buses and restaurants. If you are travelling on a modest budget, or want a place that feels more like a guesthouse than a resort, it is worth comparing with the other town hotels here on rooms, reviews and distance to the harbour. Staying in Kaş: the town works as a base for both the water and the hills. Mornings suit boat trips and diving, afternoons are for swimming off the platforms and wandering the shops, and evenings are for the harbour, where meze and fresh fish are served at tables facing the sea and the Greek island of Meis. The town is livelier than Kalkan but still relaxed, with small bars and live music rather than big clubs, so it suits couples, friends and families alike.
What to expect
Rooms in Kaş hotels range from compact doubles to larger family rooms, many with a balcony and some with a partial sea view. A rooftop or garden terrace is a common feature and is a pleasant place for breakfast or a cold drink at the end of the day. Check whether the hotel has a pool, as not all town hotels do, and whether there is parking if you have a rental car, because on-street parking in Kaş can be tight in summer.
Kaş town: the centre is a compact grid of lanes between the harbour, the main pedestrian street and the Antique Theatre, and almost everything a visitor wants lies within a twenty-minute walk. Boats for Kekova, Meis, diving and snorkelling leave from the harbour, restaurants and cafes sit along the waterfront and in the old town, and the weekly market, small beaches and swimming platforms are close. Dolmuş minibuses link the town to Kalkan, Patara and the beaches along the coast, and taxis are inexpensive for short journeys.
Before you book
Property details such as room types, breakfast, parking and air conditioning vary by room and by season, so read the room description when you book carefully and check recent guest photos. If you need a quiet room, a sea view, a lift, a family room or an early check-in, message the hotel in advance. Ask about transfers from the nearest airport, which are normally Dalaman or Antalya, both a long drive away, and about seasonal opening dates if you travel outside the main summer months.
A final note on timing
Arrival and departure days are easier if you tell the hotel your expected arrival time, ask about luggage storage after check-out and confirm early breakfast for boat days. If you arrive late at night or leave before sunrise for a tour, let the reception know so someone is available, and keep the hotel phone number and address in Turkish handy for taxis.
