Scenic harbor in Kastellorizo, Greece

Meis (Kastellorizo) Day Trip from Kaş: A Local’s Guide 2026

From Kaş harbour you can see it: a colourful little Greek island sitting just across the water.

In under half an hour by ferry you […]

Ancient Lycian rock tombs carved into a cliff in Turkey

Xanthos & Letoon: A Guide to the Lycian UNESCO Sites 2026

Xanthos and Letoon are, together, the single most important window we have onto the Lycian civilisation.

For anyone interested in ancient history,

View of Patara Beach under a clear blue sky, Antalya, Turkey

Patara Beach & Ancient City: A Local’s Guide 2026

Patara is two extraordinary places in one ticket: an 18-kilometre sweep of wild golden sand, one of the longest beaches in the Mediterranean, and a major ancient city that was once the capital of the Lycian League. You can walk among 2,000-year-old ruins and then swim off an empty, dune-backed beach in the same afternoon.

Dramatic cliffside walkway in a rocky gorge

Saklıkent Gorge: A Local’s Guide to Visiting in 2026

When the summer heat becomes too much, this is where locals escape.

Walking into it feels like stepping into

Pine forest meeting a turquoise Mediterranean bay near Cirali, Turkey

Things to Do in Çıralı, Turkey: A Local’s 2026 Guide

Çıralı is the antidote to Antalya’s big resort strip. About 80 kilometres southwest of the city, this small village sits behind a long, quiet pebble-and-sand beach, backed by orange groves and pine-covered mountains, with no high-rise hotels in sight. Strict conservation rules (it is a protected turtle-nesting beach) have kept it low-rise and low-key. People

Serene view of the Mediterranean coastline near Kalkan at sunset

Things to Do in Kalkan, Turkey: A Local’s 2026 Guide

Kalkan is the kind of place people fall for and quietly return to year after year. Tucked into a steep horseshoe bay on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, it trades the big all-inclusive energy of Antalya’s eastern resorts for cobbled lanes, bougainvillea-draped Ottoman-Greek houses, and rooftop restaurants stacked up the hillside. It is officially part of the

Scenic beach cove with turquoise waters at Kaputas

Kaputaş Beach Guide (2026): How to Visit, Steps, Parking & Tips

Aerial view of a turquoise cove and rocky cliffs near Kas

Things to Do in Kaş, Turkey (2026): A Local’s Guide

Kaş is the Turkish coast at its most charming — a bohemian little town where ancient Lycian tombs sit casually among cobbled streets draped in bougainvillea, and the clearest water in the Mediterranean laps at the rocks below. There are no big all-inclusive resorts here; instead you get boutique hotels, harbour cafés, world-class diving and

Simena Castle above Kalekoy village on Kekova, near the sunken city, Turkey

Kekova Sunken City Boat Trip From Kaş (2026): Tours, Tips & What to See

Just along the coast from Kaş lies one of Turkey’s most extraordinary sights: an entire ancient city lying beneath crystal-clear water. The Sunken City of Kekova is a Lycian town that slid into the sea after a 2nd-century earthquake, and today you can glide above its submerged staircases, walls and harbours, gazing straight down through
