Overview

The road from Marmaris to Kas is one of the more scenic drives we offer, tracing the Lycian coastline through Fethiye and Kalkan before dropping into the harbour town of Kas. Your driver collects you from your Marmaris hotel and handles the whole three and a half hour journey without any other passengers sharing the car. Families travelling with diving gear or bicycles should mention this when booking, as the Sprinter offers extra space beyond the standard V-Class. The price is set and confirmed in writing before you leave, so the winding mountain sections cause no change to what you pay. Kas itself feels far removed from the larger resorts, favoured by divers, hikers on the Lycian Way and travellers wanting a quieter Mediterranean town.

Highlights

  • Scenic Lycian coast road passes through Fethiye and Kalkan en route.
  • Roughly three and a half hours across winding mountain sections.
  • Extra space in the Sprinter for divers carrying bulky equipment.
  • Private car with no other passengers for the whole journey.
  • Kas suits travellers starting the Lycian Way hiking trail.
  • Fare confirmed in writing regardless of the mountain road conditions.

  • Good option for a multi-night stay away from Marmaris.

Good to know

  • Have your Marmaris pickup address ready, especially if staying outside the main hotel strip.
  • Bring a light jacket, as the mountain sections between Fethiye and Kas can feel cooler.
  • Mention diving or snorkelling gear in advance so the driver can plan boot space.
  • The coastal road has many bends, so travellers prone to motion sickness may prefer front seats.
  • Kas has limited large hotels, so confirm your exact address before the driver sets off.
  • Carry some cash for the harbour cafes, as smaller Kas venues may not take cards.
  • Allow extra time in summer, when the Kalkan stretch can slow with holiday traffic.

How long is the drive between Marmaris and Kas?
The journey generally takes around three and a half hours, mostly along the winding but scenic Lycian coast road through Fethiye and Kalkan, so factor in a short rest stop if you prefer.
Is Kas a good base for boat trips out to Kekova?
Kas harbour is a common starting point for day boats heading out toward Kekova and the sunken ruins nearby, so many travellers arriving on this transfer use the town as a base before booking a trip locally.
What if our travel plans change at short notice?
Send a WhatsApp message the moment your plans shift, and our desk works to move the Marmaris departure time or push the Kas arrival to a later day where it can.
Does the car stop anywhere along the mountain road?
This Lycian coast drive goes straight through to Kas without a scheduled halt, though the driver can pull into Kalkan for a few minutes if your group fancies a photo stop above the bay.
Where in Kas does the driver drop us off?
You are taken to the hotel or villa address given at booking, within the town itself or the surrounding coastal area near the harbour, wherever your stay in Kas is based.
Is Kas suitable for travellers without a car once we arrive?
Kas is a compact walkable town, so many guests explore the harbour, old theatre and nearby beaches on foot once the private transfer has dropped them off.
