Overview

This fabulous one-week holiday family active holiday to coastal Turkey is a delightful combination of activities and swimming in the sea. The first of our two bases on this holiday is at the riverside town of Dalyan, in a hotel with pool, suitably placed for a visit to Cleopatra's mud baths and the Loggerhead Turtle beach at Iztuzu. Our second base for five nights is the beautiful, coastal town of Kas, again, in a hotel with pool near the old town. This typical Turkish harbour town has numerous cafes and restaurants for the evenings and plenty to do in the days.

We have a sea kayaking paddle along the coast, a boat trip to Kekova with its sunken city and snorkelling opportunities, a lovely easy walk along the Lycian Way and plenty more options. There is some delicious Turkish food that we need to sample sitting on the terraces in the warm evenings, chatting to our new friends with a glass of wine. This is a perfect holiday for sun, swimming for the kids and activities to get some exercise and fresh air. A Turkish Delight!


If you are looking for a 2-week summer holiday then this trip combines well with our Family Adventure in Cappadocia and Turkey's Taurus Mountains.

Suitable for children from 8 yrs old

There are lots of activities on this holiday and time to play in the swimming pools at the 2 hotels that we stay at. The sea kayaking is great for beginners and more experienced paddlers alike. Younger children will share a double kayak with an adult. All safety equipment (buoyancy aids etc) is provided along with a fully qualified leader. Our walk on the Lycian Way is around 4 hours along well marked trails. There is a little ascent/descent, and we have regular breaks in the shade, for our picnic lunch, snacks and views. When walking/wading through Saklikent Gorge we will get wet and suitable footwear is required. There is a lot of time allowed for swimming, snorkelling in the sea and the swimming pool, so the children should be comfortable around water to thoroughly enjoy this holiday.

Why KE?

This wonderful balance of culture, exploration on foot and water based activities, many of which are included which helps make budgeting for the family easier. We also include a fascinating visit to the loggerhead turtle conservation project at Iztuzu Beach. Excellent and well-located small hotels (not big resorts) round off a welcome experience of the coastal delights of Turkey.
