Itinerary

Expand All
Day 1 : Fly To Dalaman; Transfer To Kas.
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: No Meals

On arrival in Kas, you'll make your way (either via a scheduled group
transfer or independently) to your boutique hotel, the Kas Artemis Hotel. The
outdoor pool beckons to swim off any post-flight grogginess. Have a sundowner
and wind down into holiday mode: the real adventure starts tomorrow.

Day 2 : Jeep Safari To Some Of The Region's Best Beaches And Canyons
Location: Saklikent National Park, Patara Beach, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

You'll be collected at 9.30 am today; perhaps more of a lie-in than your
average weekday. You'll be driven by jeep to Kaputas Beach to see the
turquoise waters that epitomise this part of Turkey. As well as being ideal
Instagram fodder, it's a real scene-setter for the trip ahead. Then it's on
to a couple of traditional Greek villages where you'll stop for a late
breakfast.

Then, you head further inland to canyon country. On foot, you'll pass through
Gizlikent Gorge to find its incredible waterfall. Then explore further into
Saklikent National Park to see the deep canyon carved between two mountains,
before stopping for lunch in these spectacular surroundings.

A visit to Patara Beach follows, for another hit of that pure azure sea.
There's time for a swim before the day wraps up around 6.00 pm and you return
to the Kas Artemis Hotel.

Day 3 : A Full Day Sea Kayaking And Discover A Lost City
Location: Üçağız Kekova Tekne Kooperatifi, Kekova Island, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

It's an earlier start this morning, heading out around 8.00 am to Ucagiz.
This is where you'll get a briefing before hitting the water in a sea kayak,
bound for Kekova island. If you managed to squeeze in a few extra gym
sessions before your trip, you'll be grateful for the extra stamina today.
Kekova island is the site of a sunken city, and you'll be able to make out
the layout of houses beneath the surface. Lunch is in an enviable spot - the
village of Simena, which is inaccessible by road. A hilltop castle overlooks
it, and you'll catch views of the whole bay.

Rest up this evening. You'll need your energy for a challenging day
tomorrow…

Day 4 : Go Canyoning! Abseil, Swim And Plunge Into Pools Of Cool Water
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

There's an adrenaline-charged day in store today, and you'll need a head for
heights too. You're off to the mountains behind Kas, stopping at the Kibris
Canyon. You'll be provided with all the gear and spend the day canyoning,
swimming, abseiling and plunging into the cold river water.

Day 5 : Spend A Day At Sea Exploring The Beautiful Turkish And Greek Islands
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

After yesterday's antics, the tempo is dialled down. Ice cold drink in hand
and soaking up the sunshine, you'll set sail from Kas Harbour to explore bays
and coves around the Turkish and Greek islands. You'll get a sense of the
region's ancient history as you meander around the rocky outcrops. Lunch on
board is fresh and leisurely. Bliss.

Day 6 : Hit The Road On Two Wheels And Cycle Through The Forests
Location: Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Fuel up at breakfast, you'll need this morning's carbs to turbocharge an
exhilarating day in the mountains. You'll spend the morning cycling along
trails that ascend through the cedar forest, with the majestic Kibris Gorge
within sight. A homemade lunch is served in a village house before you
descend on fast roads back to Kas. Fitness not what it used to be? A guide
and minibus are on hand to help out any stragglers!  

Day 7 : Today Is Free For You To Choose From Optional Activities. A Farewell Dinner Wraps Things Up 
Location: Kastellorizo, Kaş
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

Today is yours to spend as you like. Ramp things up with options to paraglide
or SCUBA dive, visit the local market, or if you'd rather enjoy some R 'n' R
before heading home, take a Turkish bath.

In the early evening, we board the ferry for a 20-minute journey (plus
customs checks) to the Greek island of Kastellorizo, also known as Megisti
to the locals or Meis in Turkey. This is the most easterly of the Dodecanese
Islands, and one of the most picturesque. After a stroll around the colourful
harbour, enjoy a farewell dinner before returning to Kas.

Very helpful and prompt service

06-Jan-2023

Very helpful and prompt service. I called to check for an already booked trip and once we sorted this, the agent was ready to help me with another booking as well. He actually waited for me to book my flight tickets, answered all my questions, informed me of all my options. Exodus is a tour company I am using regularly due to the quality of their trips, ease of booking and helpfulness of their customer service team

Stunning walking. Walking the Amalfi Coast

04-Nov-2021

This trip takes you through the most beautiful parts of the Mediterranean walking with a guide and also discovering the wonders of Pompeii and Vesuvius. The hotel had a nice feel as family run, spotless and comfortable rooms, we were well looked after for breakfasts and dinner each day, and the barmen fixed some mean cocktails for us.!

It's amazing what you can do in a week! Cycling the Dalmatian Coast.

08-Oct-2021

This holiday was extremely enjoyable. The itinerary is well planned and the route takes you to a variety of destinations. Not having been to Croatia before I didn't know there were so many beautiful small islands and I loved the ferry and catarmaran rides. The coastal route we took was dramatic and the World Heritage sites in Split and Dubrovnik very interesting and worth visiting. The Adriatic Sea was warm, blue and inviting, good for swimming even in October. The hotels we stayed in varied in size from medium to large. I particularly liked the one just outside Dubrovnik as I had a sea view. Tourists were plentiful in Split and Dubrovnik but in the other places we stayed there was an end of season feel and it was quiet on the roads and in the resorts. The food was good and our guide was always able to recommend a nice restaurant for our evening meal. The weather in October was good for cycling - not hot, partly cloudy most days and one day it rained!

Fabulous company and trip

06-Jan-2023

We went overland from Cape Town to Zimbabwe through Botswana and Namibia. What a fantastic trip. Our first time with Exodus although we have travelled extensively around the world. We would highly recommend this company for such a brilliant trip - we got everything and more all at a good price. Thanks to everyone involved. We are looking at our next trip!

I went cycling in Albania with exodus as my first holiday with them. Such a well organised and wonderful experience where I met multiple fellow travellers who have been advocates of them for many years. You can't argue with happy repeat customers and I'm planning my next adventure with them soon

I'v just come back from...

17-Jul-2022

I'v just come back from an amazing Wildlife & Wilderness trip in Botswana and I highly recommend Exodus Travels. Our guide Brian, was extremely knowledgeable on both the wildlife and history of Botswana and neighbouring countries. The other three staff, Abbis, Chief & Mr T, who accompanied us through out our 2 week trip, put in the hard work and made sure our camp was always prepared and that we we're well fed and looked after. The tour took us to some beautiful places and we saw some amazing wildlife, and on several occasions this was due to Brian's knowledge of the area and wildlife behaviour. Exodus have been very quick to respond to any queries I had, and the whole experience ran smoothly. I was also pleased to hear that during lockdown they provided staff with food packages 👍. I'd normally go on self organised trips, however, with this trip, the tour and guide Brian took us to places not possible otherwise and showed us things that we would'v missed out on. All of which were the highlights of the tour.

After 14 roup adventure holidays with Exofus we would not hesitate to recommend them as an excitingholiday company. They take you off the beaten track but offer great support and expertise :)

17-May-2023

I've done 8 trips in the last 14 years with Exodus, and have been rewarded with a 10% discount on all future bookings. I feel very confident that I'll receive pleasant, efficient service, and have the unusual holiday experience that I'm looking for each time. I've trekked to the top of snow-capped peaks, wild-camped in the desert, seen amazing spectacles of nature, visited 4 capital cities in a week, and learned about local culture and experienced local hospitality in a way that I simply wouldn't on a conventional holiday. The quality of the accommodation and guides can vary, but this is mainly down to cultural differences and things that Exodus can't control. I've only ever complained once, my complaint was taken seriously, and I was sent a discount voucher - you can't say fairer than that. I remain a loyal customer.

07-Mar-2024

Food came quickly. Staff very friendly and polite . However the chef or person preparing the food did not seem to read the menu! If it says a meal should come with vegetables, you should not have to ask for them. They served shepherds pie with garlic bread! The munchies ice cream sundae said it should come in a glass with a flake but came in a little bowl with just a few munchies! When asking the staff were happy to replace and correct but customer should get what they order and what menu says first time round!!

07-Sep-2023

If you like to be mistreated Exodus is perfect for you. If you enjoy terrible choices for hotels and pseudo restaurants Exodus is perfect for you. Careless about their clients and loveless about their propositions. Exodus has been a dissatisfaction and disappointment about every dealing i and my group have had with him. Especially a man called Simone who just cares about the money he can get from you couldn’t care less about service.
