Ghost of Kaş

Experiences

Curated boat, kayak and adventure experiences from Kaş — sunken cities, silent coves, golden hours.

Walking season · September to November

Lycian Way treks and packages

The stage pages on this site are free and will stay free. This page is for the other question people email us: can someone just organise it? Yes. A licensed agency in Kaş runs small-group guided treks on the three best sections of the trail, and puts together self-guided walks with luggage transfers and pre-booked village beds for the dates you want.
