Kaş Old Town Hotel is named for the best part of town to sleep in. The old town is a tangle of narrow lanes, painted shutters, bougainvillea and stone houses, with the cafes and craft shops that give Kaş its character on the doorstep. Staying here lets you step outside for a morning coffee, wander to the harbour for a boat trip, and walk home after dinner through lamp-lit lanes. If the idea of a boutique-style stay with a sense of place appeals, this is the part of town to look. 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 know about old town stays: lanes are narrow and often cobbled, so arriving with heavy luggage can be awkward, and taxis may have to stop a short walk from the hotel. Ask the hotel how to find it and whether they help with bags. Old buildings can have steep stairs, and not every room has a lift. Evening noise from nearby cafes is part of the atmosphere, so request a quieter room if you are sensitive. In return, you get easy access to nearly everything on foot.
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.
