Kaş is a town in Antalya Province, Turkey. It lies on the highway D400, which links Fethiye with Antalya along the Lycian coast.

Hitching out

East towards Demre, Finike, Kumluca, Olympos, Antalya

From the small town square with traffic lights (on the side of which the bus station -otogar- is located), main road ascents somewhat steeply towards the hills. About 150-200 metres away from the square, it turns left. About a further 150-200 metres away, there is a gate-like structure over the highway, proclaiming that you are now out of Kaş. This place may look like a good spot to hitch, but there is a much better one lying only 100 mt away, which is not immediately visible because of the smooth slope behind the gate. After the gate, the shoulder becomes much wider and the place is much windier as it's all open to the sea breeze - which is somewhat of a gift, because Kaş lies on what is one of the southernmost points of Turkey and the heat and humidity during summer will test your patience a little bit, especially if you are carrying a large backpack. It shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes until you attract a ride.
