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

I like this man who travels the world as a life style choice showing us less visited tourist spots and he often dresses like the hippy travellers from the 60s/70s.

Lockdown in Ireland these videos are food for my soul. Thank you Gabe. Really need your work throughout this craziness

I think this is my favorite video. Probably because I love Turkey so much. Beautiful.

I lived there for 5 yrs. in mid 70's, back then it was a very small town, so many memories, Thanks for the video.

This has to be the nicest comment section on youtube! Great community Gabriel!

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.

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

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

Thank you for lifting my spirits with a glimpse of reality!! When I see your favorite quilt, it makes me feel so much more as if I'm there!

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

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 👍

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.

I visited Kas since three years it was very beautiful

[imrannaser]

Turkey is so cool so much going on I half expect you running into some hippes

[lbunnygordon]

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

I went to Kas and Kekova many years ago and fell in love with them

[clarkmadrosen]

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

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!
