Try a host of different activities in glorious Turkish surroundings
There are no activities planned today so you are free to arrive in Kas at any time. *Standard Hotel*
We start our holiday with a gentle warm-up day. The morning is spent on an orientation walk discovering Kas, then enjoy coastal views through the olive groves on the way out to Limanagzi beach (approx 90 mins walk). At Limanagzi there will be time to relax and have a swim. We return to Kas by water taxi.
Explore dramatic Saklikent Canyon by wet walking up the river on wooden platforms over the river; we can enjoy the towering canyon walls, dip our feet in the water and explore this spectacular environment. In the afternoon we take a walk to the famously long Patara beach. On the way we can stop at the ruins of the ancient Roman city, a great deal of which has only recently been revealed from under the shifting sands of the area.
The mountains behind Kas are riddled with deep canyons. We normally visit the Kibris Canyon, which offers some of the most impressive natural phenomena in the Taurus Mountains; a spectacular gorge, where springs and waterfalls cascade into the rapidly flowing cold river. It is ideal for canyoning - swimming, abseiling and leaping into pools of mountain water. You will be provided with a wetsuit, harness and a helmet. You must be able to swim, and light summer walking shoes (or old trainers) are essential. The day is long and can be strenuous at times - please make sure you and your children are happy to have a go, and have the courage to jump a few metres into pools of water. You'll be in very safe hands, and should revel in the adventure! /Please note: At no point is jumping obligatory; there is always the option to climb, abseil or walk down at these points./ * *
Today has been left free to do as little or as much as you like. Options include SCUBA diving, though this has a minimum age of 14, imposed by the Turkish authorities. You can also take a walk, a Turkish bath or just a stroll around the cafés and little shops of Kas. For the more adventurous and adrenaline-seeking, there is the opportunity to take a paragliding flight (this also has a minimum age of 14). The start point is 600 metres above sea level and the flight takes us out over Kas and the surrounding islands.
Today we spend a full day sea kayaking in the sheltered bay near Kekova Island. The day's activities start early in the morning; we will depart at 7:30 for a 50 min (approximately) transfer to Ucagiz village. After preparations and a technical briefing, we will paddle towards the island and the site of the famous sunken city. Although it is no Atlantis, you can clearly make out the harbour walls and see the layout of rooms and houses below the water. Kayaking is an excellent low-impact way of exploring the site. Later, we paddle to the village of Simena to have our lunch. This spectacular spot is located on a peninsula and is inaccessible by road. The village is overlooked by a hilltop Ottoman castle with excellent views of the whole bay. To participate you must be able to swim and have the physique necessary to fit in the kayak. *Standard Hotel*
Every Friday morning in Kas, a colourful local market takes place with a wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables along with clothes and household goods. Many villagers from the mountains also attend and you will have the option to travel into the area they inhabit this afternoon. The scenery is dramatic, with extensive pine and cedar forests framing the Ak Dag mountain range, which is snow-capped until July.
Our adventure ends after breakfast today. Those on the group flights will be transferred back to Dalaman for the flight to London. **

For dinners, there are plenty of excellent lokantas (cafés) and restaurants

Activity Level: 3 (Moderate)
This trip gives you the chance to go sea kayaking, canyoning and walking,
with a good dose of relaxation thrown in. There is also the option to try
SCUBA diving (minimum age 14 yrs)
No experience of the activities is required for this holiday and you and your
family will be in good hands with the local team.
The itinerary is fairly active and long periods of time are spent outdoors or
in water. As so many of the activities are water-based, we do not recommend
that non-swimmers book this trip. There is a certain amount of rough and
tumble, and a few minor cuts and bruises cannot be ruled out.
We have built in free time to enjoy the sun and sand of the Turquoise Coast.
The hotel has a pool and there is ample opportunity to relax.
Our local partner may ask you to sign an 'acknowledgement of risk' form
before undertaking some of the more adventurous activities included as part
of the tour. In signing this you will not be limiting your legal rights, as
these are governed by our booking conditions and your contract remains with
Exodus.

widely available; they often end up in landfill sites or get burnt, both
processes are harmful to the environment and we would like to reduce our
impact here. On this trip, the hotel we use will offer water refill station
where you will be able to refill your own water bottle for a small fee (1 TL
for a small bottle and 1.5 TL for the larger bottle). Please add a water
bottle to your packing list!

recommended international carrier for this trip is 20kg. We recommend packing
