Family activity holidays in Turkey
Description of Family activity holidays in Turkey
Kas is a great base for families who want an energetic way to enjoy sun, sea, and sand. There is something for all the family on this holiday: mountain biking, hiking, our famous lazy boat day, sea kayaking, and tubing. There is also time to relax, enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine, and take in the vibrant local culture with its excellent food.
The old town of Kas is an ideal destination for an activity holiday with its impressive coastline complemented by a wonderful warm climate, cosmopolitan culture, and friendly locals. During the activity schedule, we also explore the nearby mountain range as well as the Mediterranean coastline, allowing you to actively enjoy the area's highlights.
Kas is one of the few towns along the coast which has not been dominated by mass tourism. As a result, it still retains its fascinating heritage, reflected in the produce sold in the shops, the cuisine served in the restaurants and the architectural history of the attractive old town.
Please be aware that flight availability can be limited during the summer and we therefore strongly recommend booking early.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Kayaking and snorkeling.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring plenty of swimwear and sun cream.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Clearly many local people and small businesses were involved in our transport and catering etc.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very good. The one less successful day was the "mountain biking". The route we used was not what we expected (it was entirely road based, not MTBing), and
the bikes needed a lot more maintenance- I tried 2-3 of the machines and in each case gears needed adjustment and the brakes were almost useless. It didn't
spoil the day, but it could have been a lot better.
Responsible Travel
Planet and people
Our family activity holidays in Turkey are based in the Turkish Mediterranean harbour town of Kas. Our contribution to the local community and economy, as well as our efforts to minimise the environmental impact of tourism in Kas and its surrounding area, takes many forms.We work only with hotels which are either locally owned or employ members of the local community as key members of staff. Picnic supplies are purchased either from local suppliers or direct from local villagers themselves and lunches on activity days are taken at the homes of local villagers when possible who convert their patios into cafes.
When visiting villages we endeavour to arrive by foot and encourage interaction between our groups and the local community to allow each to develop cultural understanding. When motorised transport or transfers are required we use local drivers, often in owner operated vehicles, which brings work to people who may otherwise be under-employed in the community.
For activities motorised transport is kept to a minimum and the activities themselves use equipment which does not impact on the environment e.g. kayaks, rafts and cycles. We actively encourage the purchase of all activity equipment locally where possible provided it complies rigorously with expected standards of quality and safety. Production and disposal of plastic waste is also reduced by dispensing drinking water from re-usable large volume containers.
