Kasmahal Hotel adds another mid-range option to the choice of places to stay in Kaş. Travellers who book this kind of property are usually looking for clean rooms, air conditioning, a reliable breakfast and a location from which tours and the harbour are easy to reach. It makes sense to compare it with the other town hotels on distance to the waterfront, room size and whether it has a pool, since these three things matter most in the summer heat. 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.
Practical advice
Ask the hotel whether it offers pickups for day tours, which is useful if your Kekova boat, Saklıkent safari or diving trip departs early. Check parking if you have a car, and ask about luggage storage if your flight leaves late on the day you check out. Families should ask about room configurations, cots and extra beds. If you are visiting in the shoulder season, ask whether the pool and restaurant are open, as some town hotels run reduced services in spring and autumn.
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.
