Overview

This fabulous one-week holiday family active holiday to coastal Turkey is a delightful combination of activities and swimming in the sea. The first of our two bases on this holiday is at the riverside town of Dalyan, in a hotel with pool, suitably placed for a visit to Cleopatra's mud baths and the Loggerhead Turtle beach at Iztuzu. Our second base for five nights is the beautiful, coastal town of Kas, again, in a hotel with pool near the old town. This typical Turkish harbour town has numerous cafes and restaurants for the evenings and plenty to do in the days.

We have a sea kayaking paddle along the coast, a boat trip to Kekova with its sunken city and snorkelling opportunities, a lovely easy walk along the Lycian Way and plenty more options. There is some delicious Turkish food that we need to sample sitting on the terraces in the warm evenings, chatting to our new friends with a glass of wine. This is a perfect holiday for sun, swimming for the kids and activities to get some exercise and fresh air. A Turkish Delight!


If you are looking for a 2-week summer holiday then this trip combines well with our Family Adventure in Cappadocia and Turkey's Taurus Mountains.

Suitable for children from 8 yrs old

There are lots of activities on this holiday and time to play in the swimming pools at the 2 hotels that we stay at. The sea kayaking is great for beginners and more experienced paddlers alike. Younger children will share a double kayak with an adult. All safety equipment (buoyancy aids etc) is provided along with a fully qualified leader. Our walk on the Lycian Way is around 4 hours along well marked trails. There is a little ascent/descent, and we have regular breaks in the shade, for our picnic lunch, snacks and views. When walking/wading through Saklikent Gorge we will get wet and suitable footwear is required. There is a lot of time allowed for swimming, snorkelling in the sea and the swimming pool, so the children should be comfortable around water to thoroughly enjoy this holiday.

Why KE?

This wonderful balance of culture, exploration on foot and water based activities, many of which are included which helps make budgeting for the family easier. We also include a fascinating visit to the loggerhead turtle conservation project at Iztuzu Beach. Excellent and well-located small hotels (not big resorts) round off a welcome experience of the coastal delights of Turkey.

Itinerary

Our holiday starts at the group hotel in Dalyan. A single timed transfer from Dalaman Airport to the hotel in Dalyan is provided. If we arrive early we have time to swim in the hotel pool and later explore this small town and sample some of our first Turkish food and hospitality in one of the restaurants on the harbour.

Accommodation

Hotel with swimming pool

A beautiful day awaits us as we rise for our first delicious Turkish breakfast. We travel by boat and visit the marvellous nearby ancient city of Kaunos, with amazing tombs carved out of the sheer rock cliffs before continuing along the river in the boat to Iztuzu Beach. This beach is a nesting ground of the beautiful Loggerhead Turtles. There are specific beach rules to protect them. The beach is lovely and the shallow water is perfect for swimming. We cannot access the conservation project from this end of the beach so we return to Dalyan, and visit the mud baths for some fun applying ourselves with the healing mud before returning to the hotel for dinner.

This morning we head to the loggerhead turtle research, rescue and rehabilitation centre. We will spend some time exploring the work done here to protect and care for these incredible creatures. We then drive inland to the spectacular, steep sided gorge of Saklikent Canyon. After a morning of learning about the incredibly graceful turtles gliding through the waters of the Mediterranean, we will spend the afternoon splashing about and clambering over the rocks of the canyon on a gorge walk. This is a brilliantly fun adventure and we are sure to get very wet! There is a fresh water swimming pool here as well as cafes with terraces floating on the water for coffee, ice-cream and some lunch. We depart for Kas, where we spend the next 5 nights in our hotel with swimming pool. Drive time: 2-3hrs.

We will have a short drive this morning to reach the sheltered Kekova sound, reknowned for it's sunken ruins. The landscape and sea here is truly magnificent. The waters are warm, clear and sparkling blue. Our sea kayaking instructors take us through the easy steps on how to paddle (if we have not done it before) and off we go, along the coast of Kekova Island. This is a place of historical wonder, with a submerged Byzantine city visible in the clear blue waters, in places just 2m below the surface. There are no roads here so we find isolated beaches and truly splendid panoramas. We head to Simena village where we stop for a swim, some lunch, and maybe some of their famous handmade ice-cream. There is also the option to walk up to Simena Castle for a great panoramic view of the coast we have been kayaking along. If we are luckily we may see the graceful Loggerhead Turtle or a Mediterranean Monk Seal. In the afternoon, we will head back to Kas, where we have some free time this afternoon to relax by the pool or at the lovely harbour town or perhaps head down to the beach.

Today is free to enjoy the day as you please with your family. Head down to one of the great local pebble beaches or you can take a ferry (payable locally) to the nearby Greek Island of Meis (30mins boat ride). The ferry departs from Kas at 09:45 and returns from Meis at 16:00. Here you can spend the day exploring the narrow streets of this quaint island or head up to the Kastellorizo (castle) with great views out to sea, with some time spare for swimming in the crystal clear waters. A perfect rest day in the sunshine.

After a relaxed breakfast at the hotel, we head out for a walk along the stunning Lycian Way. This is a beautiful and straightforward walk along the Mediterranean coast, on well-made paths with a few minor ups and downs. On several occasions, we have splendid views across the sea to the islands. If we are lucky, we may even bump into a Turkish tortoise along the way! We arrive in Limanagzi beach famous for its pristine waters hopefully with time for a dip. Along the beach and towards the cliffs there are several visible Lycian rock tombs protruding from the surface of the water. We have lunch at a peaceful beach cafe here, with some more time for swimming or relaxing here before we take a public boat to head back to Kas harbour.

We start our private boat trip today in the nearby village of Ucagiz. We will board our boat and travel out from the mainland towards Kekova Island, and perhaps also some of it's neighbouring satellite islands to explore, swim and snorkel. This Island boasts a whole host of secluded coves perfect for water borne activities. Relax on deck with a good book, or join the kids dive bombing into the azure blues and turquoises of this beautiful sea. Lunch is BBQ'd for us aboard the boat, and at the end of a blissful day sailing and exploring, we return to Kas for our final dinner together. An idyllic way to round out our wonderful week exploring the Lycian Coast of Turkey.

TRAVEL TO YOUR DESTINATION

If flying from the UK there are low cost airlines available to the start and from the end of your holiday.

To benefit from full financial protection, ease your holiday planning, and avoid dealing with airlines, we can book scheduled flights from the UK as part of a flight inclusive package. Scheduled flights are usually more expensive that low cost alternatives, however potentially less stressful if your flight is cancelled or delayed. If you book flights through KE Adventure Travel we will offset the carbon of your flight.

The group will meet at the hotel in Dalyan.

A single transfer from Dalaman Airport to the group hotel (30 mins) is provided at lunchtime of Day 1 of the Land Only itinerary.

On the last day of the Land Only itinerary, there will be a single transfer to Dalaman Airport (2-3hrs) for flights departing at lunchtime.

Anyone may join the group transfers by prior arrangement. Travelling as a group or on public transport saves energy. If this is not practical, we can provide private transfers at an additional cost.

Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

All breakfasts and 3 lunches are included. Picnic lunches can be requested by the hotel, or bought at a local supermarket. There will also be plenty of options in the places that we visit to have a light lunch at a café. Most people usually have dinner in a local restaurant. There are plenty of options in Kas and Dalyan. You should budget £7-12 per meal per person.

Water from the taps may not be drinkable in all locations on this trip - please check with your guide. We recommend taking water purification tablets and a reusable bottle with a filter such as Water-to-Go, which can both be used to help make safe other water sources. Please note that we do not encourage the purchase of single use plastic bottles.

Turkish cuisine is world renowned for its variety, colour and fresh produce. Breakfast options might include cereals, fruits, bread, preserves, eggs, salami, feta, olives, melon, dried fruit and nuts, tea and coffee. Can be taken in a local restaurant or as a picnic from the hotel or local supermarket. Dinner options in hotels and local restaurants range from simple grilled meats to elaborately baked fish and meat casseroles, and some excellent Turkish dishes. Pide, which essentially is pizza and always a popular with the children. There are also plenty of delicious vegetarian options. If you are vegetarian or have any special dietary requirements please inform us on booking.

During this holiday we have 2 nights at a small riverside hotel with gardens and a swimming pool in Dalyan, the Dalyan Riverside Hotel. There is also a restaurant on the private riverside jetty.

When in Kas we have 5 nights in the Belinda Boutique Class Hotel. This hotel has a small pool and is very well situated near the main harbour of Kas. The standard rooms have a side sea view. There are twin/double or triple rooms available in these hotels. Triple rooms are available with a double bed and single, not 3 separate beds. All rooms are ensuite.

Additionally, you will be able to get currency from bank ATMs in the town. Credit cards are useful and it is a good idea to carry one in case of emergency.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY COSTS:

Please note that these prices are correct at time of writing, but are subject to change without warning. Optional activities taken outside the KE holiday are at your own risk.

  • Day trip by boat to Meis Island: €35 per person (no child discount)

Tipping is the accepted way of saying ‘thank you’ to your leader and local team. Tipping is entirely voluntary and should be dependent on good service. We recommend a minimum of £10 per day per group, and that give any tips as a group rather than from individual group members.

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage and a daypack. Luggage with wheels is useful for this holiday. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline.

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check for the latest advice before travel. For the most up to date information on entry requirements, please visit the UK Government website.

Visa Turkey

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

VACCINATIONS

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.

The unit of currency in Turkey is the Turkish Lira.

This part of Turkey enjoys one of the most favourable climates in the Mediterranean with 300 sunshine days a year. April sees an average temperature of 16 ºC, rising to 28 ºC (but can be a lot hotter) by July and August, 21 ºC in October and returning to a still pleasant 16 ºC in November.  The Mediterranean sea breezes keep the temperature comfortable on the coast or when on the sea. Evenings are cooled by a soft westerly wind known locally as the ‘Dokkun’. While the Lycian summer is essentially 9 months long, short-lived storms can occur at any time of the year.

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe.  Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation.  We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground.  If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.

We welcome all family dynamics and we will try to accommodate you in the roomings of your choice. The only stipulation for joining a family group holiday is that 1 party member is 17yrs or under, and they are accompanied by an adult. An average group size is around 10 members in total. Further general information and FAQ's are available here: KE Family Adventure Holidays general information.

It is an essential condition of joining a holiday with KE Adventure Travel that you have a valid travel insurance policy to cover the cost of medical treatment and to protect the value of your holiday in the event of cancellation.  When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary.

Beautiful holiday full of memorable experiences ★★★★★

Our party of three (me, my mum and my 10 year old son) had a fantastic holiday alongside the other family (mum, dad, 9 year old boy, 7 year old girl). The week was made up of a variety of different activities with highlights being sea kayaking, rubber ring rafting and private boat trip. Our guide Ozzie was knowledgeable, friendly and flexible with how he structured the flow of the days to suit the full group. This is our second KE Adventure holiday and I still cannot get over how much I love no t having to do any organising, driving (especially in Kas, those roads are so narrow, our driver was AMAZING!) and basically very little thinking. Ozzie made is seem so easy.

The hotel at Dalyan (Riverside) has fairly basic small rooms but the outdoor space more than made up for it, we loved having our breakfast next to the river watching the turtles swimming up to us. The hotel at Kas (Belinda) is more modern though the outdoor space is limited and it is a little walk up from town (which helps burns off the minimum 2 icecreams per day). We extended our trip by organising an extra night stay at Gocek (Selya Apart Hotel) and were grateful to Ozzie and the Potter family for dropping us off on their way back from Kas to airport.

We all loved the beauty of the places we visited and appreciated the regular dips into pools, rivers and sea.

Thank you KE Adventure team!

Wonderful and varied exploration of Lycia ★★★★★

I would highly recommend this holiday. There is a lot of variety in this holiday with watersports, visits to ancient sites, beach time, boat trips and exploration. There are a lot of opportunities to swim, and for this to be a suitable holiday you need to enjoy swimming, or at least enjoy watching your children swim. You also need to be able to tolerate the heat, we went in late July and it was mid-thirties every day. The heat does make the swimming even more pleasurable though. The scenery in b oth locations is stunning. Excursion highlights include the visit to Saklikent Canyon (I would recommend the optional ring rafting which was great fun), and the day boat trip to Kekova Island which was a real treat. Our guide Ozgur was excellent with great local knowledge. Once we had met him at the airport I felt I could relax and leave all the timings, logistics, problem solving and overcoming the language barrier to him. He really looked after us and took lots of photos which he shared with us. We ate out as a group every day bar one, the Cinarlar Pizza Garden in Kas being my favourite. In terms of difficulty the activities are not too strenuous, although you need good mobility, the toughest being the Lycian Way hike which our guide shortened from 12km to 9km because of the heat. It is a gorgeous walk though, we met not a single other hiker, and the lunch at the shepherd's hut is quite an experience, this was the only instance where fussy eaters might struggle.

Awesome family holiday ★★★★★

We had a wonderful week in the stunning Turkish coast, and were fortunate enough to end up with a private family tour over the route. The accomodation is mid-range as you would expect at this price level but everything else is 5* where it counts- the sites, itinerary, transportation, local support. We were really pleased with this week and felt it amazing combined with a week before in Cappadocia.
