How much would it cost by cab from Calis ?  Looks like a place her indoors would love.
Cheers.

I think you would be better to go to Hisaronu and get a taxi from there,  it would be much cheaper.

Love the place, a regular visit for us.   Not keen on the road, but well worth the bitten fingers nails....just close your eyes if something else comes the other way..... Fatih and his team are absolutely lovely and look after your every need  (ie: food /efes/food / efes / food / efes..........)

Been 5 or 6 times by car and no problems as long as you keep your wits about you and do not drive the Turkish way.

Yes it is a little hairy for some of the journey, but well worth it for some of the scenic stops and the lovely Olive Garden.  For the faint hearted, I am pleased to report when we went last week crash barriers are being installed on many of the unguarded roads with steep drops on the side, so the journey is getting much safer to undertake.

We've been there a few times including an overnight stay in the log cabins/bungalows - functional but clean and great views in the morning when you wake up. Great value and very tranquil. We stayed for an anniversary and they looked after us and our guests very well indeed. Never seen a problem in the road really, it might not be the A1 but it just twists and turns - just drive carefully and if Turks or any other nationality want to speed past you let them! The only problem we had was actually getting up their steep drive but giving it some welly seemed to work ok   :).

The road is certainly not as bad as people make out,but it's not for the faint hearted.We made a day of it and took the dolmus from Calis to Fethiye,then Fethiye to Kabak the whole journey was about an hour ,cheap as chips and very interesting admiring the scenery etc.The driver stopped a couple of times so people could get off ,admire the views and take photos,he also had bottled what free of charge !
After our day and night at The Olive Garden we put our backpacks on and started to walk back to Fethiye but to be fair when we had done around 10k up hill and down dale in the midday sun we gave up and jumped on the next dolmus,it had been a lovely walk though
