A Tour of KAS, TURKEY | An (Almost) Perfect Beach Town

I stayed there in Kas for few days a few years ago as part of a two month trip around Turkey....a very easy country to travel by bus. Lovely to go down memory lane watching your video. I first watched your videos on traveling to Kathmandu before going there last year and it was very helpful in preparing me for what to expect. Thank you. I am still not quite used to seeing you outside of Asia without your Hindu god shirt! Glad to see that you are still traveling while I am stuck at home. I will just enjoy your videos for now. Aloha

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Good news, my Hindu god shirt will be back in some upcoming videos. :)

[@tombuddy100]

The town looks nice. I would like to go there. Even at this time of year, it looks warm.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Kas is a resort town, many cruise yacht anchor for the night in the harbor, including the Gulet/yacht I took last June. There are bars which open until 3am for the party goers. The crystal clear water is just amazing. This type of resorts are not feature on the news, only political conflicts, but it's good for those who like to travel on the lesser know town, who don't like over tourism to ruin the environment.

[@hildaovalle1455]

I’m glad to see that there are places that have received the care they need. That amphitheater is absolutely majestic with that incredible view.

[@viktoriyashaykhuzina13]

Hi Gabriel, I’m currently in Kas and it’s been 4 weeks now and one more ahead. I must say Kas in reality much more beautiful then it looks on camera, it’s breathtaking nature around you and lots of fresh air. Restaurants serve only for takeaway now, and there is lockdown on weekends, so town is quit empty compare to your video. For the long term it’s actually really great cause it doesn’t feel like touristic place and you just relax. It’s a pity you didn’t show road to the peninsula from the other way of the town, it has very stunning bays. About internet - I stayed (so far) in 2 apartments and I noticed in advance that I have to have fast internet as I work remotely (Some owners warned me honestly it’s not), so I choose after confirmation only. Also you can have very good discount if you rent for month (I have got 40% discount, I rent duplex apartment with 2 bedrooms and 1 big dinning room+kitchen, 2 balconies, in the center, where all shops are, old town). To me also important how many good quality food here - greens, veggies, fruits, peanut butter(local), nuts in general, home eggs, fresh fish, fresh bread in the bakery by very convenient price. On fridays they have small market where prices even lower - local farmers sell tangerines, bananas, cheese, etc. for those who want get lost, have positive energy from locals, tones love from cats and doggies, eat fresh food, waste time on beaches - best option. Gabriel, cheers!

[@lbunnygordon1133]

looks idyllic I moved my ticket to start at Istanbul to next May as lockfowns again in UK but you have definely cheered me up after 8 months isolating here ... yes ferries cut but they ll soon be back again ... amazing how you capture exact atmosphere wherever you go ..you really travel everywhere as a lot of vloggers just go kind of luxury route but this is great viewpoint ... I miss Turkey have been quite a few times now since 1997 .. Bodrum I love as so close to many beauty spots .. and Kas is in a few films ...thanks again Gabe

[@TheWorldnUs]

Enjoying your Turkey videos Gabriel. The new hotel looks great. Especially for the price. I quite like that little beach you popped in towards the beginning of the video. It would be great if you be the there while it was empty. And how cool is the amphitheater. Incredible view from the top.

[@TheWorldnUs]

We’re here in Kas today 😃. Came back to see if we managed to visit all the spots you hit. It’s a beautiful little town. We found some tombs on the hillside overlooking the town which were interesting. There is also a tomb and a few sarcophaguses just over the back wall and a short walk from the amphitheater. I noticed them from our balcony but not many people seem to make the effort to look over that way as there are no signs to explain or show the way.

[@qinutusarmus_imnotdeejay5342]

Nice room hotel, sandals are the right choice for tourists, the building that was converted into a mosque is very nice (1000 years ago? Wow!) And the atmosphere is very warm and cozy. I think the area is very suitable for tourists 👍

[@DivandBenny]

What a beautiful town! I’ve had Kas on my bucket list for a while now. Really hope to make it there one day

[@worldcitizeng6507]

My very short visit to KAS was from a different angle, I was on a Turkish Gulet/yacht 3 days cruise in June 2019, departing from Fethiye to Demre, with many stops, including St Nicholas Island (yes, Santa Claus was supposedly born there) and the yacht anchor for the night in Kas. The main square/harbor still looks familiar, I bought 4 fabulous Turkish 100% towels in Kas. By day, it's so colorful & sunny, by night, all the bars were full of tourist partying until 3am, including my shipmates. We all slept under the stars on the yacht instead of our cabins, because the weather was so perfect and it's easier to watch sunrise. The is a famous World Heritage site, the Cleo Patra Haman (bath), where all the tour boat can swing by but no swimming allow. I would love to re visit these island via the all inclusive yacht cruise again.

[@clarkmadrosen1780]

Cute cat. 🐱.Nice rooms for $33. This part of Turkey, reminds me of your Greece videos. Friendly man to tell you about Mosque.

[@roygoad2870]

I must be lucky, I’am staying in Kas right now, May 28th 2022 and the internet/WiFi is very good in my hotel called La Luna, in fact even the restaurant I went too was also very good. So maybe they’ve improved the internet since you were last here! In fact I uploaded a few vlogs with incredible speed on my own channel

Υour videos are always enjoyable...great job.👌👍. I just want to make a note: at 6:50 the island that you are pointing is not a Turkish island, it's Greek and is called ''Strongyli''. At 6:59 also the island located west of Kastellorizo ​​is Greek and is called ''Ro'' or ''Rho''. Greetings from Kos island - Greece...to you Gabriel and to the neighbors 👋😉.

[@ghassantalal2326]

I visited Kas since three years it was very beautiful

[@NicolasKarakatsanis]

Hard to blame you when borders are not marked on the map, but the first island that you pinpointed at 6:51 is also Greek and is called Stroggili (meaning round-shaped). The same holds for the "Ro" island at the left of the bigger "Megisti" (meaning largest) Island. All three Greek islands constitute the Kastellorizo group of islands. The main Greek island (Megisti) is in fact an awesome place with good infrastructure and picturesque main town that is absolutely worth visited from Kas. Unfortunately, this is not possible thse days due to a number of reasons as you pointed out. Thanks.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, thanks for the info.

[@Slomsy]

The reason for the slow internet is the poor internet infrastructure. If you want some good beaches, hit up Muğla (if you didn't yet). And if you go there I would recommend getting on a tour of Marmaris and Sedir Island. When I went there they picked us up near our hotel and brought us to a boat which took us island to island. They have great historical locations and attractions from Ottomans, Greeks, and a lot of Kleopatra beaches.

Great video Gabe. I’m loving the Turkey trip. I’ve actually decided to take a solo trip (My wife works for the government and isn’t allowed to leave the country) to Turkey since US citizens are allowed in. I got my Visa today and I’m Leaving on Oct 25! This is my first real solo vacation trip, any tips for a newbie? I’ve traveled solo for business plenty, but this feels different! I’m very excited and a little nervous 😎

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Sweet. Depends how long you have but for a first trip I would recommend Istanbul and Cappadocia as the top destinations. And if you have more than a week then head to the south coast. Fly into either Antalya (I'll be showing it in upcoming videos) and check out the ruins of Side, Perge and Aspendos or else fly into Dalaman and hit the beach towns of Dalyan, Fethiye, Oludeniz, Kas.

[@derekroper3168]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos I’ll be there for 9 nights. The tentative plan is a few days in Istanbul, definitely Cappadocia, and I’m super interested in seeing the ruins of Ephesus, so I’m thinking of staying a few days in the Izmir area. Thanks for the tips. I’ll check those places out!

I know you were close there in N. India. I am expecting some kind of extreme, "extinction-level event" which is coming. (and No, I'm not completely out of my mind!...lol) I am a practitioner of Dzogchen (Ati Yoga, taught to Padmasambhava by Garab Dorje) in Oddiyana - (today's Swat Valley in N. Pakistan...in the 6-7th C.) Dzogchen is practiced primarily by the Nyingma sect of Tibetan Buddhism. I also study megalithic structures left LONG before the years given to us by "mainstream" Archaeologists. The reason 9/11 happened was to get soldiers into Iraq, where Sadam had his hands on some ancient, very high technology - hidden in the Bagdad Museum's basement. You may have heard about the 15' tall,m red-haired giant (with 6 fingers on each hand and foot, and 2 rows of teeth) who killed U.S. soldiers in the caves of N. Afghanistan until it was neutralized by a dedicated platoon of Special Forces. We also recently found the tomb of the proverbial "Gilgamesh" under a riverbed in Iraq - where it was said to lay, according to ancient writings. Remote viewers (specifically Dr. Courtney Brown of Emory Univ. and Major Ed Dames - former C.I.A. remote viewing trainer) have clearly seen an extremely reduced population on this planet in the year 2050, living in sparse "agrarian settlements" by the time 2050 they are well-settled, which means that the preceding disaster must take place 20 + years BEFORE 2050 (meaning...ANY time!)
