the amazing things you'll be doing
A break for the whole family with a great mix of activity, exploration and relaxation along Turkey’s beautiful Turquoise Coast
A Rural Idyll & Vibrant Kas
The lively coastal town of Kas has developed a reputation as one of Turkey’s best spots for action and adventure. During your week here there’s plenty of time to make the most of the many optional activities available including a sea kayaking trip to visit a sunken city, SCUBA diving in crystal clear waters – with options for novices and experienced divers, exploring inland by mountain bike or 4WD, or simply relaxing on one of the fine beaches along the coast.
Traditional Gulet Trip
After a couple of days in Kas you’ll board your gulet, a traditional wooden sailing boat, for two nights cruising on the Aegean Sea. Your meals are cooked for you by the friendly crew and there’s no pressure to do anything other than lay back and relax. However there’s plenty of time for swimming in quiet bays along the way and for those who enjoy snorkelling, the water is clear and warm with fantastic visibility.

travellers' tales
We thoroughly enjoyed the boat trips, especially the gulet and being able to experience the mud baths. (more)
small group family holiday
This is a 'small group family adventure' - typically you will join several other families and travel in a group of approx. 16 people. The trips are great value and a great way for you and your children to meet new people! While itineraries are pre-planned there is some flexibility and you'll have plenty of time to yourselves. Most adventure kids tend to be aged between 7 and 15, but some are younger (minimum age is usually 5) and some older (perhaps travelling as part of a larger family group). Please check with the operator to confirm the minimum age for this trip how this holiday makes a difference

We stay in small, family owned accommodation, using the services of a Turkish local agent. We also use many local service provides, from gulet crew to jeep drivers and restaurateurs. This means more of the money we spend goes into the pockets of local people. Your accommodation in Karaagac is a converted Turkish farm and prides itself on offering meals prepared with locally grown produce.
Our Responsible Travel Code: Clients who travel with us will automatically receive a copy of our Responsible Travel leaflet. This contains details and advice on how you can make a positive difference when you travel. If you would like a copy in advance of travel please contact us. Charity Partnerships: We work in partnership with Plan International. Plan works with some of the world’s poorest communities where three out of four children die before the age of five. We also support Friends of Conservation – an international charity committed to working with local people to develop a balance between their needs and the wildlife with which they share the natural habitat and ecosystems. Carbon Balancing: Global warming is a real issue and is a direct result of your travel. We have teamed up with Climate Care to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions from your flight. You’ll be asked upon booking if you want to donate – with set amounts from £5. As a company we offset the carbon emissions from all staff travel in full. Our Foundation: We’ve highlighted a few of the ways in which we offer our support, financially or otherwise, and now you can, too. We have set up our own foundation, which will administer funds donated by you. A small donation of £1 per person will be taken when booking a holiday and that money will be put to good use by one of our carefully selected projects. If you don’t want to make the donation, just tell us when you book. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
