A whitewashed former Greek fishing town on Turkey's Lycian coast, Kaş curls around a small harbour where wooden gulets moor beneath bougainvillaea and dinner tables edge the water. Swimming is off ladders and little lidos around the peninsula, and the ludicrously turquoise Kaputaş beach is twenty minutes away by dolmuş. Take a sea kayak over the sunken ruins of Kekova for the classic day out. May, June and October dodge the fiercest of the heat.
