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.

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.

“It kind of links to antique history, the Lycian League and Ionia … the Akhi cooperatives, the Waqf and the Hima, the dervish brotherhoods. So you have that cooperative tradition within the imperial world.”

“I think network state is not a completely new concept … it's great that people start thinking about it from a broader perspective, and that people like Vitalik are pushing the Zuzalu community and building up their society.”
