One of those is Kaş, a tiny holiday resort that’s praised by travel experts.
Articles in The Guardian, travel writer Annabelle Thorpe revealed that she’d been holidaying in the Turkish seaside town of Kaş for nearly 30 years, first visiting in 1994/
The “jewel” of the Turquoise Coast, she said:
She wrote, “When I visited for the first time [Turkey] in 1994, Kalkan was still small, and Kaş – half an hour’s drive away along the vertiginously beautiful coastal road – was the bigger, livelier sibling.
“In those days, Kaş was where you went for a proper night out.”
Since her first trip to Kaş, Annabelle explained how she’d often return to the resort for “a properly Turkish break.”
“Remaining in the Peninsula offers an escape from the city, but there is no bus service so you will have to depend on taxis.”
Turkish travel bloggers Duygu and Bilgehan have also been blown away by Kaş.
