Sunset in Calis © Gunlukbasi |
Overview The holiday retreat of Calis (pronounced Chalish) is renowned
for its spectacular sunsets and its laid-back atmosphere. Situated
in the south west of the country on the beautiful Mediterranean
coast, Calis has a selection of hotels, bars and restaurants that
line the extensive beachfront road; designated a car-free
strip.
The Calis beach is long and narrow, with a mix of sand and shingle,
and as in Dalyan, a population of Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta)
turtles gathers here to lay its eggs at certain times of year. The
Sultans Aquacity waterpark, a stone's throw from the beach,
provides a wealth of entertainment for families on holiday, and
other watersports are also available during the day.
A little way out of town is a lovely market that takes place on
Sundays, with the usual selection of very well priced fake designer
items, as well as spices, teas and foods. There are a number of
activities to enjoy, including boat trips to nearby islands, jeep
safaris, canoeing, horse riding, fishing, diving, quad biking and
micro lighting.
Calis is also a
dolmus (minbus) or water-taxi ride away
from neighbouring Fethiye, for those seeking bigger crowds. The
best way to enjoy a Calis holiday, however, is to grab a seat at a
beachfront café with cameras at the ready, and enjoy a
cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon.
