living in Ciftlik
« on: January 10, 2013, 14:21:21 PM »
Hi , my husband and I are coming out to look at property in Ciftlik the end of January, in the past we have always spent our holidays at Calis beach, an agent we are working with has mentioned Ciflik but we know very little of the area such as shops, places to eat etc we are hoping to buy as a holiday home but also for our retirement home .
Is this a good area to live I have notice there have been some breaks in discussed , but i have also heard this about other areas also just as it is here in the UK
Is the beach within walking distance , there are so many things to find out , any information would be a great help.

Many thanks

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

Thanks Carol to be honest i,m not sure of the name of the complex , they are new build villas and i have a feeling they are located inland from the agents description  which would suit us as we are living at present in a rural part of West wales , but its good to know you can walk to the village for your everyday things but have Calis a short drive away , for me as long as I have a pool to cool off in the beach is not essential.
What would be important to us when we live there full time is the community and what it offers, we like our own space living where we are but for us its also important to be part of the village life .
Thanks for your quick reply , maybe in the near future you will be one of my neighbours.
