Kaş, Türkiye · Launching November 2026

A campus for builders, on the Lycian coast.

One hundred rooms, seven themed villas and one long table, on a bay in Kaş.

Good work needs good company and a view worth coming back to.

Kaş Campus brings founders, developers, researchers and makers under one roof for as long as it takes to make something real. You live next to the people you build with.

The place

Barbarossa Hub, on Bucak Bay.

The physical home of the campus: rooms and villas stepping down to the water, shared terraces, a library, a coworking space and a hall for gatherings.

Each of the seven villas carries its own subject, from artificial intelligence to regeneration, from local economies to parallel societies. You pick the house that matches your work.

Three parts, one campus

A place, a program and a community.

The place

Barbarossa Hub

Rooms, villas, shared tables, coworking and event space on Bucak Bay. Kaş Campus can grow or move, and the hub keeps the name of its first home.

The program

Lycian Labs

Founders, startups and small teams build here. Mentors, peers and partners join the table, and ideas move from sketch to first users.

The community

Web3 Hub

Active in Kaş since 2021, with meetups, workshops and partners across the region. The people who make the campus feel like a town.

Life at the hub

Work, gather, rest.

Work

Quiet mornings in a room with a view, a shared desk or a terrace.

Gather

Long dinners, open demos and talks, with the whole house at one table.

Rest

Yoga at sunrise, a swim before lunch and the Lycian coast on your doorstep.

Why Kaş

A coast with a long habit of building together.

The Lycian League, one of the earliest federations in history, met on this coast more than two thousand years ago. Cities kept their own voice and still acted as one.

We think the next chapter belongs to people who live and build in the same place. Kaş is a good place to write it.

Since 2021

The community is already here.

Web3 Hub began in Kaş in 2021 and opened a permanent space in early 2022. Since then it has hosted workshops, debates, coding days for children and open evenings for the whole town.

ZuKaş 2025

A pop-up city, on the ruins of a league.

In September 2025 the community behind Kaş Campus held ZuKaş, a pop-up city gathering in the Zuzalu network. Guests spent days in Kaş and came together at Patara, where the Lycian League once assembled.
