Kaş might be one of our favorite places from the year abroad. It is located on the southern coast of Turkey, facing the Mediterranean and surrounded by dramatic rocky hills.
Kaş is in the heart of ancient Lycia. The Lycians were neighbors to the ancient Greeks who colonized the coast of Asia Minor further to the north - they had their own alphabet and language, which you can still see carved into various stones around town. They also left behind ancient rock cut tombs and sarcophagi strewn across the surrounding hills. And, of course, there are the obligatory ruins of a Roman-era amphitheater.
The town is also kid-friendly, with pedestrian roads, tourist shops, and a rad playground. We were there in the off season, so we felt like we had all of Kaş to ourselves.
Other highlights of Kaş included playing a tile game called Okey at the local coffee shop, enjoying a nearby rocky beach, shooting hoops on the town's basketball court, and chowing down on the best seafood casserole that we have ever had.
