A waterfront seafood restaurant in Kaş harbor with tables on the terrace overlooking the yacht marina and Greek island of Meis on the horizon. Superb fresh fish, excellent local wine, and a magical atmosphere for evening dining.
Kaş Limanı Balık is a waterfront seafood restaurant on Liman Caddesi in the yacht harbor of Kaş, a small and distinguished coastal town in the southwestern corner of Antalya province, approximately 200 km from the provincial capital. The restaurant sits directly on the harbor wall with a terrace extending over the water, offering unobstructed views across the marina toward the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) on the horizon — one of the most photogenic dining vistas in Turkey. The restaurant's reputation rests squarely on the quality of its daily fish sourcing, which comes directly from local fishermen operating in the Kaş and Finike fishing grounds. Grilled levrek (sea bass) is the house flagship — cooked whole over a charcoal grill, it arrives crisp-skinned and moist at the bone, dressed only with lemon and olive oil to let the quality of the fish speak. Karides güveç (shrimp casserole baked in a terracotta dish with tomatoes, green pepper, and cheese) is the most ordered cooked preparation and suits those who prefer their seafood enriched with sauce. Stuffed calamari filled with herbed rice and pine nuts offers a more elaborate option. Cold meze starters — tarama (fish roe dip), smoked mackerel pâté, and lakerda (salt-cured bonito) — reflect the Aegean culinary tradition shared between Turkish and Greek coastal kitchens. Local Turkish white wines from the Aegean appellation are well-matched to the seafood. Kaş's small size means the restaurant fills quickly in summer; reservations for harbor-view tables are strongly advised in July and August.

Tips for visiting
- Reserve a harbor-side terrace table at least a day in advance in summer — they are the first to be taken.
- Ask for the fish to be weighed and priced before it goes to the grill; pricing by weight is standard.
- The Greek island of Meis is visible at sunset from the terrace — timing dinner for the golden hour is worthwhile.
- The cold meze selection is extensive; ordering three or four to share before fish mains makes for the best meal.
- Kaş is a small town without mass tourism infrastructure; dining here is qualitatively different from resort-area restaurants.
Accessibility
The restaurant is on the Kaş harbor front, which is largely flat and paved. The terrace extends over the water on a flat decked platform accessible from the harbor-side promenade. The approach along the harbor front is suitable for wheelchair users. Kaş town itself is compact and relatively level compared to many Turkish coastal towns.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Meis (Kastellorizo in Greek) is just 2 km offshore from Kaş and clearly visible from the harbor terrace. The island's houses and church are visible with the naked eye on clear days.
Does the restaurant accept reservations?
Yes, and reservations are strongly recommended for terrace tables in July and August. The restaurant can be contacted directly by phone; hotel staff in Kaş are typically familiar with the booking process.
Is Kaş Limanı Balık expensive?
It is moderately priced by Turkish standards for a quality waterfront seafood restaurant. A full dinner of meze starters, a whole grilled fish, and wine typically costs 500–800 TL per person. Fish is priced by weight.
