Boutique hotel in restored Kaş old town house with just 8 rooms. Rooftop terrace overlooking harbor, tasteful bohemian decor, and intimate atmosphere. Perfect for couples exploring the Lycian coast.
Casa Di Bava is an intimate boutique hotel in a restored traditional stone house in Kaş, a small harbour town on Turkey's Lycian coast within Antalya province. The building occupies a position in Kaş's old town on İbrahim Serin Caddesi, a narrow lane typical of the town's Aegean-Lycian residential grid, with just 8 rooms across its upper floors and rooftop level. The rooftop terrace offers simultaneous views over the Kaş harbour, the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) across the water, and the limestone Taurus mountain cliffs behind the town — a combination of seascape, island, and mountain rarely encountered from a single rooftop in Turkey. The interiors blend Mediterranean whitewash with bohemian Turkish styling: hammered copper fittings, kilim-draped divans, Lycian-motif ceramics, and rough-finished plaster walls create a consistent decorative vocabulary without feeling overdone. Room sizes are compact by international boutique standards but designed efficiently, with attention to privacy and natural light. Turkish breakfast is served on the rooftop each morning, featuring regional honey from the Taurus hills, local goat cheese, fresh-baked bread, and seasonal fruit from the market. Kaş has a lively waterfront restaurant scene around the harbour, with excellent seafood restaurants accessible on foot within 5 minutes. The town is a recognised diving centre with operators offering access to clear Aegean waters and submerged ruins offshore. Day trips by sea kayak or boat tour to the Kekova sunken city, the Simena castle ruins, and the Lycian Way coastal trail are easily arranged through local harbour operators. Casa Di Bava is particularly well-suited to couples and independent travellers exploring the Lycian coast at their own pace.

Tips for visiting
- The rooftop is spectacular at sunset when Meis Island silhouettes against the orange Aegean sky — reserve drinks on the terrace that evening
- Book well ahead for May–June and September; the property's small size means it sells out rapidly in shoulder season
- The Kekova sunken city day trip by kayak (half day) departs from operators near the harbour — the reception can recommend reliable guides
- Kaş dive operators offer excellent PADI courses; the underwater visibility is among the best on the Turkish Mediterranean coast
- Kaş town market on Thursdays is a good opportunity to buy local honey, herbs, and regional crafts at competitive prices
