Antalya Airport to Kaş & Kalkan Transfer 2026: Lycian Coast, Diving, Boutique Hotels & Scenic Route

Kaş harbor at golden hour with traditional gulet boats and Mediterranean cliffs

Kaş harbor at golden hour with traditional gulet boats and Mediterranean cliffs

Kaş is where Turkey's Mediterranean magic reaches its peak. No mega-Ferienorts, no mass tourism, no Strand vendors — just an enchanting small town of white-washed houses draped in bougainvillea, perched on cliffs above crystalline turquoise waters. The transfer from Antalya Airport is an adventure in itself — 2.5 hours along one of the world's most spectacular coastal highways.

The Drive: A Journey, Not Just a Transfer

This is NOT your typical airport-to-hotel commute. The D400 from Antalya to Kaş is frequently ranked among the world's greatest coastal drives. Here's what you'll see:

Km 0-50 (Antalya → Kemer): Fast highway through the city, then enter Taurus Mountain coastal zone Km 50-100 (Kemer → Olympos): Pine forests meet sea, ancient Lycian coast begins Km 100-150 (Olympos → Demre): Dramatic cliff edges, switchbacks, views that make you gasp Km 150-190 (Demre → Kaş): The most stunning stretch — cliff-top panoramas, islands visible in the distance, descent into Kaş bay

Kaş Destination Guide

The Town

Kaş (population: 8,000) is deliberately, defiantly small. The town council has banned high-rise construction, preserving the traditional architecture. Here's what makes it special:

  • No All-Inclusive Ferienorts: Boutique hotels, pensions, and B&Bs only
  • No Strand vendors: Strandes are natural, unspoiled
  • Active tourism: Diving, kayaking, canyoning, paragliding
  • Greek heritage: Ancient Antiphellos' Lycian sarcophagi stand in the streets
  • Kastellorizo view: The tiny Greek island of Meis/Kastellorizo is visible from Kaş harbor (2 km away)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the drive to Kaş dangerous?

The D400 is winding but well-maintained. Our professioneller Fahrers navigate it daily and know every curve. It's not dangerous — just scenic and requires experience. That's why we strongly recommend a privater Transfer over self-driving.

Can I do Kaş as a day trip from Antalya?

Possible but not recommended — 2.5 hours each way (5 hours driving) leaves limited time in Kaş. Minimum 2-night stay recommended to enjoy the atmosphere.

Is Kaş suitable for families?

Yes, but it's different from All-Inclusive Ferienorts. Children enjoy the boat trips, Strandes, and relaxed pace. It's best for families who prefer independent travel over Ferienort culture. Read our Family Guide.

Which airport is closest to Kaş?

Antalya Airport (190 km, 2.5 h) and Dalaman Airport (155 km, 2.5 h) are equidistant. Antalya has more flight options.
