A Cultural Immersion On The Turkish Riviera
Designed for the thoughtful traveler.
Likya Scholars is a small, shared cultural immersion and Mediterranean adventure hosted by those who care deeply about surroundings, people, and local connection. We stay in one place long enough to learn, talk, and feel at home – without turning the experience into a checklist.
A Deeper Way to Engage in Your Travels.
An adventure, built around a reflective trip designed for travelers who want fewer destinations, deeper local connection, and time to think, write, or reset.
Who This Is For
Likya Scholars is for curious, globally minded individuals seeking a deeper way to experience the world. Our Turkish program is designed around understanding the local culture and touring the beautiful Turkish Riviera of the Lycian coast.
During your time on Türkiye’s Turquoise Coast, the journey begins at the villa in Kaş, blending ancient Lycian sites, coastal landscapes, and daily life by the sea. Days include sailing over the sunken city, swimming in secluded coves, walking among rock-cut tombs and forested ruins, visiting local markets, and crossing the narrow strait to the Greek island just offshore.
The itinerary balances guided exploration with unstructured time, allowing the place to become familiar through rhythm, presence, and immersion in local culture.
Why Summer In Kaş?
Kaş in summer offers direct access to remarkable archaeological sites, along with an intimate, culturally grounded setting between mountains and sea.
Likya Scholars was created to share the Kaş we know. Authentic, personal, and connected to everyday life. After the founder spent years living and exploring this area with family and local friends, he designed a program that welcomes you into a real home and introduces you to people who treat you like one of their own.
This isn’t a tour. It’s a more meaningful way to experience Türkiye – living like a local, learning through daily life experiences, and discovering a place that stays with you long after you leave.
Kaş, where the view never gets old.
We spent years getting to know this coast, its people, its culture, and its rhythm. You’ll experience real Turkish life here in Kaş and still have time to relax by the sea.

Amazing villa in Kas with an unreal view & sunset. We enjoyed the breathtaking view at the pool during the day and were able to work remotely (wifi worked well) in the evening. The hosts were what made the stay truly memorable. They were easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, gave us recommendations and even left us some delicious ratatouille. Would definitely come back and stay here again and recommend to anyone!

The house is very beautiful. We felt like at our own home. Also Jordan is very sweet and helpful. We had a great time together during our stay. The house is located on the peninsula, which is the most beautiful place in Kaş. You can also use the sea, which is clean and a short distance from home. If you come with your own vehicle, it is very easy to get everywhere. It was a place we would definitely visit when we came back to Kaş. We recommend it to everyone.
