Gömbe is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Kaş, Antalya Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 1,260 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4]

Yeşil Göl is a serene lake, known for its natural cold water. There is also a camping area of Subaşı, which also offers fresh, cold water from natural sources. Additionally, the area features Uçarsu Waterfall, a site of spiritual significance for people of Alevi belief. Uçarsu is a popular destination for those who appreciate both its natural beauty and cultural importance. Together, these places provide a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and cultural heritage, making them ideal spots for camping and exploration.

Farmers in the region predominantly focus on apple production, benefiting from the area's fertile fields. Thanks to the rich soil, nearly all types of fruits and vegetables can be grown here successfully. This versatility in agriculture makes the area ideal for farming a wide range of crops, beyond just apples.

The population nearly doubles during the summer compared to the winter months. Many residents from city centers move to higher altitudes during the warmer season, seeking cooler climates and more comfortable living conditions. This seasonal migration reflects a common trend in regions where summer heat drives people to higher, more temperate areas.
