💎Hidden Gems Along D400 Coastal Road

When you’re driving along the D400 between Antalya and Fethiye, there are a few spot that I stopped by and I just have to share:

1. Heart Cave (Konul Plaji): This place is almost completely off the radar—perfect for some uninterrupted photos. Just be careful as the path can get a bit slippery. I parked the car on the roadside near a disposal bin and it was a quick stop.

2. Butterfly Valley: You can’t actually get down to the valley from here, but the view from the top is stunning. The water is the bluest blue you’ll ever see. When you spot P3, that’s your cue to pull over for a quick photo op.

3. Kaputaş Beach: I didn’t brave the heat to head down to the beach itself—it was a scorcher and pretty crowded—but it’s worth stopping just to take in the view from above. Parking might be a bit of a challenge during peak season, but you can usually find a spot on either side of the road.

4. Antiphellos Ancient Theatre in Kaş: This theatre is such a peaceful spot, facing the sea and almost always quiet. It’s not huge, but the view makes it worth a visit. I found parking along the roadside easily.

5. Kaş Town: After visiting the theatre, I checked into my hotel and wandered around Kaş. The town is full of vibrant bougainvillea, and every little alley seems to lead to the sea. If you’re there around sunset, make sure to take a dip in the ocean—it’s the perfect way to end the day.

If you’re planning this trip, I’d suggest renting a car so you can stop at these hidden spots at your own pace. But if you prefer public transport, you can easily catch a bus from Antalya Terminali—look for Bati Antalya. It’s about 180 lira per person to Kas Town and offers a relaxing way to enjoy the coastal views.
