Natalie Sayin is “Setting Off On My South Western Tour and has “planned a rough route on the South Western coast of Turkey.” She “will be staying in the towns and villages along the route and using local transport to get from one location to the next.”Сколько кирпичей в одном кубе кладки
One of her stops was Kaş and according to her article
“Kas – Mediterranean Delight in Turkey” we think she must have liked it very much. She tells her readers that Kaş “is everything that a typical Mediterranean seaside resort should be. White washed houses cascade down the winding mountain roads to show the way to beautiful beaches and a harbor that reminds you that life is in fact quite good and while in Kas, the best thing to do is to adapt quickly to the Mediterranean lifestyle.”
Anyone who has beeen to Kaş would be hard pressed to disagree. For example a fellow traveller, Roger Wade, liked Kaş so much he decided to stay on for a while and has been here for nearly six months. In the article Roger Wade – World Traveller he tells us “My round-the-world trip has come to a screeching halt in Kaş, Turkey…From an American point of view, it feels like I’ve been let in on a secret, perhaps by mistake. This stunning little Mediterranean town has about 50 restaurants, yet virtually no vehicle traffic to speak of. It seems like the vast majority of visitors and expats I’ve met are from Europe, and the wonderful novelty of a place like this might not be as easy to appreciate for them.”
Jacqui Hogue, for another example, is an expat American and resident of Belgium who has travelled in the United States and Europe. She has this to say about her recent visit to Kaş in the article Jacqui Hogue, Not a “Typical” Tourist.
“I fell in love with the natural beauty of the place, the adventure sports that went with it (scuba diving, canyoning, sea kayaking, paragliding, trekking…), and Kaş’s laid back “vibe” uncorrupted by mass tourism. Now, nearly a decade later, I came back for a three week stay.What has changed? Well, almost everywhere you look on the surface, not much seems to have changed! Our first night here we were a bit struck by the number of tourists we saw gathering around the bars near the main square and Ataturk statue. Perhaps there are more tourists, but if so, there are still not enough to take away from Kaş’s charm.”
If you have not been to Kaş, why not?
If you have, we know that many of you will return again and again and some will come to stay as did Alex Smith, the expat correspondent for Kaş.
Alex says that “Living in the Kaş area as an ex-pat has many advantages and possibly a few disadvantages (if you consider the lack of access to a large shopping mall a disadvantage)…”
