# Kaş in September: Still Warm, Finally Breathable

If you visited Kaş in July or August, you’d know the feeling of being slowly cooked while navigating streets packed with people who’ve all had the same idea. September is genuinely different. The temperature sits around 30°C, which sounds identical on paper but somehow feels kinder once the brutal August humidity starts backing off. You’ll get occasional rain – not much, maybe a few scattered showers across the month – but nothing that seriously disrupts a trip.

The crowds thin noticeably after the first week of September when European school holidays end. By mid-month you can actually walk the harbour without performing a slow shuffle behind a tour group. Restaurant tables become available without the theatrical waiting game, and you can get a sunbed at Küçük Çakıl beach without deploying military-grade planning. The town gets its personality back a little. Locals seem visibly relieved.

Everything worth visiting is still fully open. Boat trips to Kekova and the sunken city are running, diving operators are busy (visibility in the water is typically excellent this time of year), the sea temperature is still around 26°C so swimming is genuinely comfortable rather than just brave. The Tuesday market still happens. Kayaking around the sea caves is still a reasonable proposition.

Is it worth visiting in September? Honestly, it might be the best month to go, especially if you care about actually enjoying yourself rather than just ticking it off. It suits couples, anyone over about 35 who has lost patience with peak-season chaos, and divers or kayakers who want good conditions without fighting for space.

It’s also noticeably cheaper than August – flights, accommodation, sometimes even restaurant menus reflect the shift. Not dramatically, but enough to feel it.

**One practical tip:** Book your boat trips directly with operators at the harbour the evening before rather than through hotels. You’ll pay less, get a clearer picture of exactly what’s included, and often end up on a smaller, better boat with fewer strangers pressed against you.
