How many steps lead down to Kaputaş Beach?
Visitors descend a long staircase from the Kaş to Kalkan coastal road, commonly described as having close to 200 steps. There is no large resort or town directly on the small beach below.
Why is the water at Kaputaş Beach so vividly turquoise?
Fresh water flowing through the narrow Kaputaş gorge mixes with the clear Mediterranean at the cove. Light reflecting from the pale seabed and surrounding limestone intensifies the blue and turquoise appearance.
