Curious travelers who want more than typical tourism and would like to feel like a temporary local. Our trips suit:

• Solo travelers, couples and friends
• Families and small private groups
• Honeymoons, celebrations and bachelor or bachelorette trips
• First-time international travelers
• Schools, companies, retreats and clubs

Trips run from May to October 2027. Low season is May, June, September and October: quieter, with warm sea and fewer crowds. High season is July and August: the busiest and hottest months, so book early. Prices and availability depend on the season.

Yes. Our trips are built around slow immersion, cultural exchange and time to reflect rather than rushing between sights. Most guests are adults looking for perspective or meaningful change through travel.

It isn't a traditional tour. Each day has a clear plan and support, but it's held lightly. We adjust to the group, the weather and how the days unfold, so the trip feels natural rather than scheduled.

Mornings start with a Turkish breakfast, followed by a planned activity such as a boat day, ancient ruins or time in town. Afternoons are open for swimming, resting or exploring. Some evenings are spent together over dinner and others are yours.

Our sample plans run 3, 5 and 10 days in Kaş, and private and group trips can be built to any length. See the sample itineraries.

Yes. Many guests come on their own and quickly settle in through shared meals, time at the villa and days out together. There's always space to step back and have time to yourself.

Each trip has a Likya Scholars trip leader, with licensed local guides leading specific excursions. All guides speak English, and we can also offer Spanish, French, Russian, Turkish and German.

A 10% deposit holds your place. The balance is due 45 days before your trip, and bookings made after that are paid in full. Small-group trips have six places, so booking early helps.

Small-group trips run with 4 to 6 guests. Private and organization trips can be larger: up to 26 guests at our villa complex, or up to 40 at our group hotels. If a small-group trip doesn't reach four guests, you can move to another date or get a full refund.

You'll get a confirmation email with next steps and a short traveler form, so we can arrange flights, arrivals and any personal details. We stay in touch and help with anything you need before you arrive.

Your deposit is non-refundable, and payments become non-refundable within 45 days of your start date. The full terms are in our Terms & Conditions and are shared with your booking. We recommend adding your own trip-cancellation cover.

Small groups stay together in our private villa in Kaş. Rooms are assigned by group make-up and booking order, and most guests share. Couples always have their own room. Solo travelers can ask for a private room, when available, for an extra 35% of the accommodation cost.

It depends on your nationality. Many travelers, including U.S. citizens, can currently visit Türkiye without a visa for short stays. Check the official visa information before you travel.

Yes. Kaş is a small, relaxed coastal town with a strong local community, and guests often say how welcome they feel. As with any travel, general awareness is wise, but it's one of the most peaceful places on the Turkish coast.

Yes. Every trip includes group travel insurance with emergency medical and evacuation cover. Policy details are shared after booking. Many guests also add their own cover for cancellations and belongings.

The sea and the season set the pace here. If weather or safety calls for it, we adjust the day and swap in something just as good. Your hosts handle the changes so you don't have to.

Guests are 18 or older, or younger with a guardian's consent. You should be comfortable walking, swimming and getting on and off boats. Tell us about any health needs and we'll help you choose the right days and pace.
