Kaş Artemis Hotel takes its name from the goddess of the hunt and the moon, a fitting nod to a town with deep classical roots. As a hotel in the town of Kaş, it puts you close to the harbour, the old town and the Antique Theatre, which makes it a sensible base for a first visit. Mid-range hotels here typically combine well-kept rooms, a breakfast buffet or set breakfast, a terrace or lounge and helpful staff who can arrange diving, boat trips and transfers. 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.
Choosing a room
Look at the room descriptions carefully, because in a hilly town two rooms in the same hotel can feel very different. A room with a balcony and a sea view is worth the extra cost if you like to sit outside in the evening. A quieter room at the back may be better if you are a light sleeper. If you are travelling in the hottest months, check that the room has air conditioning that works well, and ask about shade on the terrace or roof.
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.
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.
