Where to stay in Kas?

Dreaming about a beautiful vacation in one of the Kas’ destinations?   Do you want to find a perfect villa for yourself?   We are here to serve you to rent a villa in any of these places and much more.   Of course,  where to stay depends on your interests and your budget.   If you are not attached to any specific place and just want to find the best place to rest, swim and enjoy, please read our thoughts.  We noticed that our guests always find it hard to choose between Kas Center, Cukurbag Peninsula or villages at higher altitude areas of Kas like Yeniköy or Cukurbag village.

ParkLet’s now list the main things to consider when choosing a a villa.  For us, it is:

  • the view
  • location (whether you have means of transportation)
  • season of the year, (humidity and temperature considerations)
  • your budget

Let’s start from Kas Center (Andifli & Çerçiler).  It must be preferred if you have no transportation (car or motorcycle) and you do not stay at hot summer days (June, July and August). In the summer, Kas Center is very hot and plus humidity may disturb you.   You can think of a reasonably sized flat (2+1) except hot summer times if you want to quickly access nearby beaches by foot like Küçük Çakıl  or Limanagzı (accessible by small boats)

Another option is to rent a villa in famous  Cukurbag Peninsula where heartbreaking views of Meis Island (Kastellorizo) or Kas harbour can be seen. Due to proximity to the sea, some summer breezes might refresh you, it is definitely a better but expensive option to Kas Center climatwise.  However, still some humidity and hot weather will accompany your stay.  Please expect to pay around EUR 400-700 per day for a decent villa in Cukurbag Peninsula in summer time.

Last and the most preferable option could be to rent a villa at outskirts of Kas with altitude around 600-700m to escape from humidity and hot summer days.  Regions include Yenikoy, Cukurbag Village, Buyuk Cakil, Agullu and Bayindir areas.   We especially prefer villas in Yenikoy having both sea views and almost no humidity thanks to summer breezes always passing through from small mountains next to it.  Yet the area is close to Kas about 7km.  Likewise, Cukurbag Village is also preferable (10km) and offers the same breathable and fresh summer days and nights.  Kas Villa Rent has three villas, Villa Maria, Villa Gurli, and Villa Emilie in Yenikoy region and one flat at Cukurbag village.  So, if you are searching for some places of historical interest in one bunch with a great sea and Mountain View, these villas are the best for you.

But what about villas in Gokseki ?    The region is 5 km to Kas and it is probably the region where the most frequent public transportation is available.  Altitudewise , it is in between Kas Center and Yenikoy – Cukurbag Village line. If you’re looking for a taste of sun-soaked south, but don’t have time for more than a day or three day weekend trip it is the right place for you.  Or, you may want to try the region in the summer by renting one of the villas at our site. We think staying in Gokseki is still a better option than staying in Kas Center.
