This journey is designed for The Fifty Factor community: women who are ready to travel with curiosity, ease, and a sense of possibility.
Based at Villa Savad in Kaş, the trip gives guests one beautiful home base for the week, with days shaped around the sea, Turkish food, local life, ancient Lycian history, villa time, and thoughtful conversation.
The experience is hosted but not overly scheduled. Guests can join the group fully, take quiet time when they need it, and enjoy the comfort of traveling solo without feeling alone.
Every excursion is led by a licensed, English-speaking guide with deep knowledge of Lycian history and archaeology. They don't just narrate. They contextualize.
Private transfers from as far as Dalaman Airport, plus all ground transportation for the trip. Coastal roads, mountain passes, ancient harbors. Gaze at the views from a luxury van.
All trips are packed with Ancient history, Archaeology, Local culture, nature, and a variety of Sports. Some include Diving, Boat Tours, SUP & Kayaking. Customized to your itinerary.
Turkish language and cultural classes with Jordan and Ece. Cooking with Hatice, you'll learn how to make stuffed grape leaves. Market visits in town to watch the live haggling. You don't observe the culture. You live it!
A private three-bedroom villa with two and a half baths, overlooking the Mediterranean. Pool, terraces, gardens, and a long table for shared dinners. The villa is cleaned daily, beds are made, and your laundry is washed and folded.
Homemade Turkish breakfasts every morning by Hatice. Picnic packed or casual street food lunches on excursion days. Group dinners at the villa most evenings, with select nights out at local restaurants.
The drive from Dalaman to Kaş takes about 90 minutes along the coast. By the time the villa comes into view, the week has already started. Check in, complimentary arrival drinks, find your room, and mingle with other Fifty Factor members during a late dinner that is at the table waiting on arrival, served on the terrace everything out at once, an introduction to the trip and the rhythm of Kaş happening naturally over a home-cooked local meal.

This villa is home
and we invite you here
this summer to experience
living like a local in Kaş.
Jordan is an ocean engineer and expedition traveler whose life has revolved around water and exploration. He has crossed the Atlantic twice, worked aboard ships in Alaska, guided diving trips along the Turkish coast, and spent much of his adult life moving between mountains and sea. Kaş has remained a constant throughout those travels. Through Likya Scholars, Jordan shares the place that first sparked his curiosity about the world, and he is excited to share his experiences with you, starting with Turkish culture and history.
Ece studied biology and completed her master’s degree in Berlin before returning to the coast she grew up visiting as a child. Today she lives in Kaş and is now works in tourism. Ece tries learn more everyday about the history and region so she can share this information with others. She is naturally warm and thoughtful, and has a gift for bringing people together. For guests, Ece often becomes the bridge into daily life in town introducing the people, places, and small moments that make Kaş feel like home.
Meals are designed around a mix of villa breakfasts, local restaurants, simple coastal lunches, and shared dinners. The goal is to give guests a real taste of Kaş without making every meal feel overly scheduled.
Daily breakfast is served at Villa Savad. Included meals are planned to include a welcome dinner, selected villa dinners, a hands-on cooking evening with Hatice, and a farewell dinner by the water at Büyükçakıl.
Kekova boat-day lunch is expected onboard, pending final confirmation with the selected boat arrangement. Patara day lunch will be simple, such as gözleme or a packed lunch. Some meals are intentionally left open so guests have flexibility during town time, beach days, and café afternoons.
Beach club food and drinks, alcohol, cocktails, extra snacks, and personal café stops are not included unless specifically stated.
Villa Savad
Villa Savad is the home base for the full journey. Guests stay together in a private villa setting in Kaş, with sea views, pool time, shared breakfasts, relaxed dinners, and easy access to town, beaches, the harbor, and Lycian Coast experiences.
The villa allows the group to unpack once and settle into a slower, more personal way of traveling. Instead of moving from hotel to hotel, guests return each day to one comfortable home base.
Guests should plan to fly into Dalaman Airport. From Dalaman, the transfer to Villa Savad in Kaş is approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic and timing.
The trip is based entirely in Kaş, with Villa Savad as the single home base for all 9 nights. Most included experiences are reached by short local transfers, water taxi, or day-trip transportation arranged around the itinerary.
This trip uses the Labor Day weekend to reduce the number of workdays many guests need to take off. Afternoon or evening departure flights are recommended on the final day when possible, so guests can enjoy breakfast, pack without rushing, and transfer comfortably back to Dalaman Airport.
International flights, passports, personal travel documents, and any required visas or entry requirements are the responsibility of each guest.
