From Kaş to the World: Our Little Story Begins A Baby, A View, and the Beginning of a New Life in Kaş 🌅 There are certain moments in life that make you stop, reflect, and question not only your present—but your entire future. While everything around you may look “fine” on the outside, a quiet voice inside whispers: Is there something more?   During pregnancy, this voice became louder: “What kind of world will my child grow up in? ”, “Is it possible to build a slower, more intentional life—together?” These weren’t fleeting thoughts. They were the beginning of a much deeper search.  A Journey, Not Just a Move 🚗🌿 Kaş was not entirely new to us. Over the years, we had visited many times with friends.

A New Chapter in Kaş: Our Five-Year Journey Toward a Simpler Life Overlooking the turquoise waters of Kaş, framed by olive trees and rugged cliffs, we found the beginning of a dream. From Istanbul’s Chaos to a Different Vision of Life Istanbul shaped much of our adult lives. We worked, commuted, and lived within the city’s endless rhythm. Yet beneath the noise and rush, a quiet thought kept returning: “There must be another way to live.” At first, that idea felt abstract—more like a longing than a plan. But as years passed, the vision sharpened, growing stronger with every conversation we had late at night about slowing down, breathing deeper, and finding a place that felt like home. The Day Kaş Found Us One summer holiday, we sat by the sea in Kaş. The horizon stretched endlessly, the light shimmered across the water, and in that moment, without words, we both knew: “This is where we could belong.” That wasn’t the day we moved—but it was the day our dream finally had a name.
