the amazing things you'll be doing
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 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.
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
Brilliant, exciting, challenging, very friendly, my teenagers loved it. The most memorable parts were on the jeep safari, the cold waters and magnificently huge Saklikent Gorge, and the mud baths for the teenagers. (more)

|
Lots of people benefit from our stay - our Turkish local agents, the hotel we use, restaurants we eat in along with our Turkish group leader, drivers, gulet crew etc. This spreads the money we spend amongst many different people and provides vital employment. Our interest in the sea life (scuba diving) reinforces amongst local people the need to protect and preserve these environments.
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 lead 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. |
