A DAY TO SOOTHE THE SOUL. Driving thru villages, where time has stood still, Essenkoy, Gokben, Kabaag, Minara, Esen, Letoon to the the fab ruins, Karakoy, thru Esen town to Patara village, which is very pretty and quaint. Final destination, Patara beach, which thankfully is protected. Sheer delight, softest, silkiest sand in this neck of the woods. Picnic, paddling and walking along the shore line, with the gentle surf was heaven.

Fabulous photos busybee.
We first discovered Patara about 15 years ago when, believe it or not, the UK still did package trips there. We'd been to Bitez for our first holiday to Turkey in 2001 then Calis for the first time in 2002 so were looking for somewhere else to try. It was a bit of a last minute break and just for a week and we had no idea what to expect. There was a four hour transfer from Dalaman, none of the new roads built then :o and a changeover from coach to taxi in a garage forecourt somewhere. It was the early hours of the morning when we got to the hotel in Patara village and very, very tired! To say the hotel was basic was an understatement ;D
However, we loved it. It wouldn't suit everyone but we just loved the quaintness and the people were so friendly and helpful. Being able to go down to Patara Beach in the dolmus, or just have a long walk down was lovely.
We've been back since, while staying in Calis, and stayed at one of the hostels in the village for a couple of nights after getting the dolmus there. We keep saying we'll do it again, definitely worth it.

Thanks legless............does the dolmus go direct from Calis or do we change at Fethiye? Dennis.
-
you can go from fethiye, you can also stop off whenever you please

Mustafa from Blueye Transfer took us. I run a small walking/social group and always use him, Have know him for more years than I care to remember. We like to go to different places, some of which not feasible by the dolmus. He is on FB and does normal airport transfers. Carol and Tayfun do a day trip there and probably many others.
