April 13, 2023 – Coffee, Shopping, and Sightseeing in Kaş, Türkiye

There is one way for us to get into town: by dinghy then foot. This is completely cool with us since we actually have a dinghy now. Oh how we are enjoying that!

But first, let’s remember why we are even here. We’d planned to go directly to the Greek Dodecanese islands after we left Cyprus, but Michael did what he often does: he chatted with a stranger he met at the marina. When telling this gentleman of our plans, the gentleman suggested that we visit Kaş, Türkiye first. Because we are open to new ideas and don’t have a really strict schedule, we did some research. After about an hour’s worth of study, we decided that it was an excellent idea to visit Türkiye before Greece!

So, here we are. We shared a couple of pictures of the anchorage in the previous post, but since it is so pretty, we are sharing some more.

The clouds!

This Colorado gal loves, loves, loves seeing mountains!

We also have great views of the sunset and a portion of Kaş at night from our boat.

Here is a pic of the anchorage – and Seahike, of course! – from “up top” (after we climb the little path to the road into town).

We fell in love with Kaş once we got into town. There is one picturesque street after another.

But, wait, let me interrupt the street pictures with a more important topic: coffee! This little shop – Linckia Coffee – makes the best Americano I have ever had. This shop didn’t open early, as coffee shops do in America. (We all need our 6:00 a.m. cuppa in the US!) Nope, I arrived (Michael was getting a SIM card) at about 9:40 a.m. and the barista told me that the machine would be ready in about 15 minutes. No prob! I’ll just sit outside and enjoy the view! The coffee was worth the wait. You must visit this shop if you go to Kaş.

The view from the shop isn’t bad either. 🙂

Okay, back to pictures of the town. I love seeing the mountains or sea in the background!

The title of this blog indicates that we did some shopping. Well, we just did a small amount. We bought a puzzle! We figure there will be days we are “stuck” on Seahike, so what better to do than work on a puzzle!

That’s it for today’s post. We’ll share our trip to Saklikent Canyon in the next post.
