Our base for the week is Hotel Club Phellos in the heart of picturesque Kaş. The location is ideal: it’s a two-minute walk to the King’s Tomb, a fourth-century BCE sarcophagus that’s become the symbol of the town.
It’s also a three-minute walk to the bazaar and four minutes to Kaş Square. Better yet, Küçük Çakıl beach (Little Pebble Beach) is also a short walk away.
When you’re not out exploring, the 89-room hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, terrace with sweeping views across the bay, and a dining space.
