The day begins before sunrise on Kaş’s sleepy harbor, where a wooden boat rocks gently and the Mediterranean stretches steel-blue to the horizon. You push off toward sunlit coves—Aquarium Bay and Esmeralda—while limestone cliffs watch like patient hosts and the sea dares you to dive into its clarity.
