Calis Beach Turkey

Calis Beach is Fethiyes beach resort; it takes around twenty minutes to get there by local bus (Dolmus) at a cost around 1.5 Turkish Lira. But far the best way to get there is by Water taxi, these leave from the promenade by the Harbour every 30 minutes, the fare to Calis is around 2.5 Turkish Lira. The journey across the sheltered bay takes around 15 minutes, the sea is usually very calm and the lovely views over Fethiye and the surrounding islands offer a great photographic opportunity. The last part of the journey is up a narrow river channel, the boats tying up by a bridge which only thirty seconds from the promenade along the sea front.

Even if you visit Calis only once make sure you are there in the evening and you will be treated to one of Turkeys most spectacular Sunsets, something that Calis is particularly famous for. The long promenade is lined with a good selection of bars and local restaurants serving a varied selection of dishes, Turkish, Chinese, Indian, Mexican and Italian. Some recommended restaurants are the Harem and the Bambu if like Turkish cuisine; the Bambu also has an excellent Chinese menu and Chef. If your taste is for Italian food then Bella Mammas is an excellent restaurant, and for Indian the Han is your place. All the restaurants by the beach boast spectacular views across to the islands, there's nothing better after a hard day soaking up the Turkish sun that to relax with a cool drink, some good food and watch a spectacular Calis sunset. Don't forget to check out some of the other restaurants and bars away from the beach front, these offer good food and a friendly Turkish welcome and can be considerably cheaper than the ones on the Calis beach front.

The hotels are well located mainly overlooking the sea or set just slightly back, the accommodation is of a high standard. Private Villas and Apartments are also available.

The beach at Calis is mainly shingle, the views are wonderful, the sea is clear and warm (most of the time). If you are lucky you may catch a glimpse of one of the Sea Turtles or some of the Dolphins that frequent the bay of Fethiye. One benefit at Calis during the scorching months of July and August is the constant cooling onshore breeze, but beware it is often a lot hotter than it feels. The beach is equipped with sun lounges and parasols which can be hired at reasonable cost.

If you like the water walk to the far end of the beach there you will find a windsurfing school. The steady reliable wind is also good for kite surfing which is starting to become popular in the Calis area.

If you are looking to purchase a holiday or retirement home in Turkey, Calis is excellent value at the moment. Well built Villas and Apartments are springing up around the area many with private pools, these offer good investment potential as well as rental income. Building standards have improved hugely over the last couple of years and property prices are rising steadily. Calis offers a good selection of properties at prices that are cheaper than Fethiye and the surrounding areas of Ovacik Hisaronu and Oludeniz. Estate Agents offices can be found in Calis and nearby Fethiye.
