Kas, Turkey: Yiğit's Breathtaking Sea & Mountain Terrace Awaits!
Alright, let's talk Kas, Turkey: Yiğit's Breathtaking Sea & Mountain Terrace Awaits! – or, as I like to call it, "Paradise Found (and Then Somewhat Difficult to Leave)." This isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review; this is the ACTUAL EXPERIENCE, straight from the chaotic, beautiful, and slightly sunburnt brain of someone who's been there. Prepare yourself, because we're going deep.
First Impressions & The Staircase From Hell (Accessibility, Kind Of…):
Okay, let's be honest. This place ain't ideal if you’re fully reliant on a wheelchair. The "terrace" part? Yeah, it's a staircase. A glorious, sun-drenched, Instagram-worthy staircase, but a staircase nonetheless. They do have an elevator, but navigating the whole property, especially off the main arteries, takes a bit of coordination. Let's chalk this one up as accessible but not ideal, and a good reminder to bring your walking shoes! The front desk is on the ground floor, and the main restaurant, thank goodness, is easily reachable as well. But if you get to the top and aren't in good shape, start counting down your flight of stairs.
Rooms: My Personal Oasis (And a Bit of a Headache):
The room itself? Chef's kiss. (Even if I'm not a chef) Okay, I'm easily pleased by simple things, but the details are everything. Extra long bed? Yes, please! My 6’3” friend was thrilled. Blackout curtains? Oh, sweet, blessed darkness after a day of sunshine. The wi-fi (the free kind!) was actually decent which is a miracle. I loved the complimentary tea, and the aircon was a lifesaver in the heat. But here's a confession-- I completely forgot to use the bathrobes or slippers. I was too busy staring at the view.
A quick tip: My room had soundproofing, which was a godsend. Others may not have the same experience and will have slightly less enjoyable evenings.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitizing My Soul (And My Hands):
Listen, in the post-pandemic world, cleanliness is everything. And Yiğit's? They've got it down. Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. Daily disinfection – you could practically eat off the floors (though I wouldn't recommend it, because, well, you're in a hotel). They do a good job of sanitizing between stays. They even offer me a choice to opt-out of room sanitization.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Breakfast Bliss to Midnight Munchies:
Okay, the food. The food. The breakfast buffet? Worth waking up early for. (I am NOT a morning person, yet I dragged myself out of bed for this!). The Asian breakfast was unique, a great departure from the standard hotel fare. They have restaurants that serve international cuisine, Western cuisine and vegetarian options. A la carte in restaurant? Yep. Poolside bar? Uh-huh. And the coffee/tea situation? Bliss. I loved the coffee shop down the street.
My one small gripe? I missed the occasional happy hour. But hey, that's life. 24-hour room service is a game-changer. Ordered a midnight snack (or two).
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Relaxation Overload!
This place is designed for chilled people, my friend. Swimming pool (and a pool with a view)? Check. Sauna? Affirmative. Spa/sauna? Double check. And I massaged my cares away at the end of the day. The fitness center wasn't massive, but perfectly adequate if you like that sort of thing (I do, a little). Body scrub? Body wrap? If you're into that, you're set. They really do make you feel like you've done some stuff even if you don't.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Make a Big Difference:
The concierge was incredibly helpful – I literally had zero problems while I was there! Currency exchange was a lifesaver. Laundry service, dry cleaning, and ironing service (because, let's face it, traveling wrinkles clothes) were all available, because, well, what else do you expect from a good place?
The terrace itself is a major plus. It's really the main reason why I wanted to come here. That gorgeous view from the top -- with all those amazing sunsets… it's stunning.
For the Kids: Families Welcomed, But…
They have facilities for families. But to be honest, I didn’t pay that much attention to the Kids Facilities.
Getting Around: Taxi, Car, or… Your Own Two Feet?
Car Park [on-site] is great. Airport transfer? Absolutely. If you're up for it, there's a car park in Kas at no cost. The taxi service is efficient. If you are up for a hike, you can choose bicycle parking.
The Catch? (There Always Is One, Isn't There?):
So, what's the "but"? Honestly, there aren't many. The climb might be a workout. Oh, pets are unavailable. It's not the cheapest place in Kas, but you get what you pay for. The exterior corridors could be a bit noisy sometimes. The shrine seemed a bit out of place, but hey, who am I to judge? However, the place, given its position and the surroundings, the hotel makes a bold promise to give you the best possible experience you could get.
Overall, this is a great place to stay!

Limited Availability. Don't miss out!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to dive into the utter glorious chaos that was my trip to Yiğit Apart in Kaş, Turkey. This wasn't some perfectly curated Instagram feed fantasy. This was real life, with sand in the undies and enough sunburn to make a lobster blush.
Day 1: Arrival & The Terrace Revelation (and a near-disaster with a bag of lemons)
- Morning (or what’s left of it): Flying into Dalaman. Ooh, the Turkish sun already felt GOOD. We'd booked a transfer (thank God, driving on the left side of the road? No thanks!), and the drive to Kaş… breathtaking. Turquoise water, winding roads hugging the coastline, the air thick with that salty-herbaceous smell I've only ever found in the Med.
- Afternoon: Arrived at Yiğit Apart. Found it. The pictures… they didn't do it justice. The terrace. Oh. My. GOD. Picture this: a sprawling balcony, the turquoise sea practically lapping at your feet, and then, behind you, the rugged, majestic mountains. My jaw literally dropped. This was… the dream.
- Disaster averted (almost): Unpacked. (Well, attempted to. I always overpack, it's a sickness, a bad habit) Found a bag of lemons at a store. I thought there was a bit of a spill, but little did I know the bag ripped slightly. I was walking back to the apartment, and bam, all of them burst on the street! I was mortified, like a lemon explosion crime scene.
- Evening: Settled into the apartment. The kitchen was tiny, but, hey, gotta love it. Dinner – a simple mezze platter purchased at a local shop - eaten on the terrace, watching the sunset. Wine. Lots of wine.
Day 2: Kayaking & a Sardine-Induced Existential Crisis
- Morning: Kayaking adventure! We were all excited. It was a bit choppy, but fine. It's what happens when you get to the open sea. The water was unbelievably clear – you could see the starfish and all the fish below. It was… magical.
- Afternoon: Lunch at a tiny restaurant by a cove. Ordered grilled sardines, because, you know, authentic experience. They were… well, a little too authentic. Let's just say, a lot of tiny bones. I spent the next hour picking at them, contemplating the fleeting nature of life and the existential horror of being a tiny fishy sausage someone just gobbled up. Deep philosophical stuff, people.
- Evening: Back to the terrace for sundowners. I think I watched the sunset three times because it was that amazing. Found a little cat that lived in the house right below. The little fella followed me everywhere. I named him "Sardine," obviously.
Day 3: Beach Day Blowout & Turkish Delight Addiction
- Morning: Found the perfect beach. Kaputaş Beach! It was a trek down a million stairs, but worth every achy calf muscle. The water was a ridiculous shade of turquoise. We spent hours swimming, sunbathing, and generally embracing the carefree life of a beach bum.
- Afternoon: Lunch at a beachside cafe. The owner was a ridiculously charming old man who kept trying to teach me phrases in Turkish. I learned how to say "Thank you" and "I want more Turkish Delight". I have to say, I was pretty good at the second part.
- Evening: Went to a Turkish Delight shop. It was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. I bought all of them. Ate every single piece and went into a sugar coma.
Day 4: The Hike That Nearly Killed Me (and a Surprise!)
- Morning: Attempted a hike up to a viewpoint overlooking Kaş. (I use the word "attempted" very loosely.) Okay, it was slightly steeper than advertised. I'm not sure my legs have fully recovered. The heat was intense. I was sweating, my heart was pounding. At one point, I seriously considered just curling up in a ball and waiting for rescue.
- Afternoon: The view from the top was… well, it was amazing. Like, worth almost dying for. The town, the sea, the mountains – all spread out before us. We were rewarded with the view and our guide, a local goat herder's house. He made some fresh lemonade and bread.
- Evening: I tried to be adventurous and take the boat back. I got seasick.
- Night: The terrace, wine, all good.
Day 5: Diving Debacle and Farewell Feels
- Morning: Decided to try scuba diving! I'd always wanted to. Big mistake. I froze. I panicked. I couldn't even get underwater. The instructor, bless him, was incredibly patient. Maybe, one day.
- Afternoon: I stayed on the terrace and watched the boats return as everyone was back from their diving.
- Evening: Farewell dinner at a restaurant overlooking the harbor. One last sunset. One last glass of wine. I had no words.
- Night: Back to the place. The little cat.
Day 6: The Departure (and a vow to return ASAP)
- Morning: Last breakfast on the terrace. Saying goodbye to the view felt like breaking up with someone. The cat.
- Afternoon: The transfer picked us up, and we drove back towards the airport.
- Evening: My camera roll is overflowing with turquoise. My heart? Overflowing with joy. This wasn’t just a vacation. It was a reset, a recharge, a reminder of the beauty and chaos of life. Kaş, Yiğit Apart, I’ll be back. Sardine included.
Kas, Turkey: Yiğit's Breathtaking Sea & Mountain Terrace Awaits! (An Honest Traveler's FAQ...and Some Rants)
Okay, so... Kas huh? Is it REALLY as stunning as those Instagram pixels suggest?
Yiğit's Terrace... is it *really* worth the hype? Because, you know, "breathtaking" gets thrown around a lot.
And the food? Oh, the food! I’m still dreaming about the grilled octopus. Seriously, I might plan another trip *just* for that octopus. And okay, the climb to the terrace isn't for the faint of heart (lots of stairs, be warned!), but trust me, the view, the food, the atmosphere... it all makes it worth it. Even if you're wheezing a little on the way up (which I definitely was!).
What kind of food should I expect in Kas? Is it all just kebabs? (Please say no!)
I had this *amazing* breakfast place one morning tucked away on a side street. They had things with eggs and sausage, and the best Turkish delight. Ugh, I wish I could remember the name... (Note to self: write things down *before* you get too relaxed on vacation!) And don’t forget the Turkish coffee! Strong, sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up. Prepare for a food coma, basically. But a *delicious* one.
Should I rent a car? Or is walking/taxis sufficient?
**The Car Conundrum:** Here’s where things get… sticky. If you're planning on exploring *beyond* Kas, like visiting Patara beach or the sunken city of Kekova (which are absolute must-sees!), then a car gives you a lot more freedom. BUT – parking in Kas can be a nightmare, and those roads are *seriously* windy. I drove for a couple of hours on the coastal road and I was sweating bullets. I got car sick and I’m not prone to car sickness! If you're a nervous driver (like me!), maybe skip the car and rely on taxis or tours. Or, you know, hire a local driver. That's what I should have done. Learn from my mistakes, people!
What's the best time of year to visit Kas?
**Summer (June-August) is popular**… but also hot and crowded. You'll have to book everything in advance, and expect higher prices. Also, and I'm just being honest here, it'll be full of loud groups.
**Winter (November-March):** It's much quieter, but also much cooler, and some businesses might be closed.
Are there any downsides to Kas? Anything I should be warned about? (Be honest!)
* **The crowds:** As mentioned, in peak season, it can get… a bit much. Be prepared to jostle for space, especially at popular spots. * **The prices:** It's a tourist destination, so things are a little pricier than in other parts of Turkey. Especially for alcohol. That Efes cost me a bit. Still worth it. * **The stairs!** Seriously, Kas is built on a hillside. Be prepared for LOTS of climbing. My legs were aching by the end of the week. Good for the glutes, though! * **The occasional power cut:** We had one, which wasn’t too bad. Someone told us the internet can be slow sometimes.
But honestly, even with these minor annoyances, Kas is still a truly special place. Just go armed with a bit of patience, comfortable shoes, and an open mind. And go to Yiğit's Terrace. Seriously. Go.
Diving and water sports? What's the deal?
