Sea kayaking at Kekova
Demre, Mediterranean Region, Turkey[24.5 miles]
A unique 9km circular paddle around the beautiful inlets and sarcophagus-strewn bays of Kekova, for all abilities.
Best for ages: 12+ | £40 | 5 hours
Best places to stay:
Flamboyant and friendly holiday hotel with an idyllic shoreside location a few minutes’ drive from Kas.
The hotel’s cocktail bar, restaurants, pool and gazebos are artfully arranged across terraces overlooking the sea; the hands-on and helpful owners have clearly lavished real care here, even if the boudoir styling may strike some as a touch frilly.
A great choice for sun and sea seekers, but also convenient for the wealth of outdoor activities available in nearby Kas.
Children under 12 not permitted.
The hotel is set among other hotels on a rocky and arid peninsula that is home to most of Kas’ upscale hotels and villas.
Don’t expect much in the way of traditional detail or even local facilities in this hotel area designated expressly for the views across the water north to Turkey’s mountains.
A good access road connects the hotel with nearby Kaş, a popular centre for restaurants and bars, shops and outdoor activities, and taxis are plentiful.

Kalkan, Mediterranean Region, Turkey[13.5 miles]
Small but perfectly formed, Kaputas is famed for its crystal-clear waters and soft sands, squeezed between two cliffs on the Kas-Kalkan road. It takes 187 steps to reach it from the road, but well worth the effort.
