Hi Sandy
Welcome to the forum and to Ciftlik
Can you tell us the name of the complex you are looking at ?
Ciftlik is the inland side of the main road that runs from the airport to Fethiye, if your 'home' is near to the village then I would say you are a good twenty minutes walk to the beach - we can walk to Koca Calis in half hour. Crossing the main road is a little tricky since they have put the concrete divider along the middle of the road.
Ciftlik is quiet, a rural village. The main road through has two supermarkets one much bigger, a bakers, a chemist, a post office, barbers, hair dresser, DIY shop, metal work shop for railings etc - it also has a lovely pide cafe
The market is on a Thursday near to the Melissa market.
The dolmus from Fethiye runs thru the village frequently but if your 'home' is to the top of the village near to the canal it can be quite a walk in the summer heat.
The council bus which runs hourly (needs to be confirmed) does go around the village
The well known Turkish breakfast / musuem is at the top of the Kargi road, Kargi being the next village on.
We love Ciftlik, 8 mins in a taxi to the lovely town of Calis.
Hope this helps
Carol
