Who we are
Likya Summer Scholars was created to offer something different—a deep, personal way to explore Türkiye’s south coast. From your host, who spent years exploring the area, learning from local guides, swimming in hidden bays, and learning about Türkiye. We’re passionate about sharing this side of Türkiye, far beyond what typical tours offer.
Our Mission
To bring small groups of curious students together for an immersive, all-inclusive journey—connecting with local culture, nature, and each other. We believe that travel should transform, challenge, and inspire.
Why We’re Different
Personal Connection: You’re welcomed into a real home, not just a hotel.
Expert Local Guides: Our guides are friends, family, and experts who live here year-round.
Genuine Experience: Every meal, activity, and excursion is designed to foster real connection and authentic learning.
Hello, Merhaba!
Hi, I’m Ece
I was born and raised in İstanbul, Türkiye, and I’ve spent my life exploring its coastlines, mountains, and ancient cities. I’ve worked as a guide in Kaş, but this program is something special—it’s close to my heart.
When you come to Kaş, I’ll be the one helping you settle in, leading you through ruins, markets, translating Turkish culture, and making sure you always feel welcome. I love sharing Turkish culture like I did with the Savad Family. This is about its food, its people, and its stories—with those who are curious and open to learning.
And yes, I take Turkish Rukı Night very seriously. You’ll see. Why not?
