Sunset in Calis © www.gunlukbasi.org
Overview: 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 beach itself 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, 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 Calis, 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.
