Turquoise sea, boats and mountainous coastline at Kaş

Port · Mediterranean & Aegean

Kaş cruise port guide

A small coastal town of bougainvillea-lined streets, ancient remains and turquoise bays.

Kaş guide

Discovery begins as you step ashore

Smaller than the major resorts, Kaş offers a calm port day among bougainvillea streets and the remains of ancient Antiphellos. The centre, square, Uzun Çarşı and waterfront walk are close together.

Some sailings may use tender boats between ship and shore. Disembarkation and return times therefore vary by itinerary; follow the meeting times announced onboard.

Highlights

Three ways to experience Kaş

Start with these highlights to shape your port day around your interests.

Uzun Çarşı

Feel Kaş's local rhythm on foot among stone houses, small workshops and flower-covered façades.

Antiphellos Theatre

Look towards the sea and Meis from the stone steps of the ancient theatre near the centre.

Turquoise shores

If port conditions and time allow, choose a shore experience centred on swimming, boating or a viewpoint.

Travel notes

Know before you go

For a relaxed port day, check essential details in advance, from documents and transport to the climate and return time.

Tender transfer

Tender boats may be used on some port visits. Check your sailing information for mobility requirements and transfer times.

Slopes

The centre is compact, but bazaar streets slope and have stony surfaces; wear comfortable, non-slip shoes.

Boat-trip planning

For independent boat trips, confirm a return time well before the ship's final boarding deadline.

Sun

Shade may be limited in summer. Carry water, a hat and sunscreen.
