🧭 About Kaş

  • A small harbour town on the Lycian coast, between Fethiye and Antalya.
  • Diving, sailing, the Lycian Way and the sunken city at Kekova.
  • Quiet, low-rise and much smaller than the big Antalya resorts.

🏠 Market snapshot

  • Typical buys: village houses, small apartments, villas on the Çukurbağ peninsula.
  • Antalya province sold 7,118 homes to foreigners in 20251 – but most of these were in Alanya and the city, not Kaş.
  • Supply is tight because so much land is protected.

Check before you buy

  • Special protection: Kaş–Kekova is a Special Environmental Protection Area (ÖÇK) – planning is run by the Ministry of Environment.
  • Archaeology: Lycian remains are everywhere; many plots touch archaeological SİT zones.
  • Coastline: the shore belongs to the state (Coastal Law 3621).
  • Shared title: rural land is often hisseli (shared) and may not be buildable.
  • Access & services: check legal road access, water and sewage for hillside villas.

Rules for all foreign buyers in Türkiye

  • Residence permit through property: for homes bought since 16 Oct 2023 the price on the title deed must be at least USD 200,000, and the home must be lived in, not rented out2.
  • Citizenship through property: at least USD 400,000 with a 3-year “no sale” annotation on the deed; since Dec 2023 only built property counts3.
  • Foreigners can own up to 30 hectares each and up to 10% of a district’s private land; plots near military or security zones need clearance4.
  • Short-term holiday rentals (100 days or less) need a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism5.
