Hi everyone i hope i can post this topic here.
We will be with the family back again in calis in july.
Now we really want to enjoy a day in the blue lagoon in olundeniz.
Is here anyone who can tell me what is the best way to get there?
Dolmus or taxi?
By the way i have 2 little children with me to take in account
-
Dolmus or bus to the big mosque in the centre of Fethiye. Dolmus from there to Oludeniz.
-
Dolmus to Fethiye, then dolmus to Olu deniz (40 minutes approx).
Kids might well find it oppressive especially in July.
Best way would be by taxi if cost wasn't a consideration.

Yes you maybe right about the dolmus with the kids...
Do you maybe have any idea what the cost are for a taxi to olundeniz?
-
Around 100 lira...
-
Think it could be more than 100 lira to the lagoon. Maybe 130/140. Dolmus are air conditioned now but certainly hot in July and maybe too much with children at that time of year. I would talk to a taxi driver when you are here and see what price for a return you can negotiate.
-
You could get a taxi up to Hisaronu. Have a mooch round up there and something to drink. Then get a dolmus down to Oludeniz.
Mondays are market day in Hisaronu. Nowhere near as big as Fethiye but still plenty of clothes, bedding, trinkets etc, plus the usual pancakes and kebabs, if you're interested.
-
Last year we paid 150tl for a pre booked taxi return journey to Hisaronu from Calis.
-
You'd probably be better going to one of the small private beaches further round the lagoon too.
Plenty of shallow waters and generally not packed in like sardines either.
If you opt for the dolmus option they are more than happy to drop you further round the bay
-
Paradise Beach (previously run by Nichola and Dogan) further round the bay is a nice spot.
Dolmus driver would let you off there and if as in Nichola and Dogan's time would take you back to catch the dolmus for Fethiye.
-
Don't they do free transport there anymore? Always used to get taken there and back. If enquire about that.
-
Not from Calis Bernie. Only ever used to be from hotels in the Olu, Ovacik, hisaronu areas, and some complaints about that. Said taking money away from taxis, dolmus etc.
-
Thought it depended on numbers from calis, haven't been for a while tho.
-
Carole and Tayfun do a trip to the newish beach, Green Pine the first beach to the right of the lagoon - price last year was £7 per person (not sure if there is a discount for children) and includes a return transfer from Çalış, and beds and brolly on the beach - food and drink are your own cost.
-
thanks everybody for the information.
Probably we will take a taxi then with the kids...
Thanks for all the advice :D ;)
-
Nicola that seems a very fair price if transfers, sunbeds and brollys included. would like to hear about some views.
thanks for the info.
-
I think so too MarKar. For the convenience, pick up, drop off and you can easily take a stroll into Olu from there too.
I know you can book this from the stand on Çalış prom. I can't see it on their web site but I know they definitely do this.
I'm surprised more tour operators haven't followed suit with other lagoon beaches.
-
Thanks for the info nichola, will definitely have a look at this next time. As MarKar says a very good price for all that.
-
Which stand on the prom is it please Nichola.
-
The Carole and Tayfun stand suzyq - walking up from the bridge end, past us and farther along, not quite sure exactly how far or who they are next too.
-
Thank you, will have to call in and ask you after eating of course
