I understand you can pick up a dolmus to Faralya from Olu deniz. How frequent are these and what's the price please? Thanks
-
They are rougly every 2 hours during the holiday season.
From Fethiye: 07.00 - 11.00 - 17.00 (APRIL - MAY )
From Kabak : 08:30 -12:30 - 18 :30 ( APRIL - MAY )
From Fethiye : 07:00-09:00 -11:00 - 13:00 - 16:00 - 18:00 ( JUNE - JULY - AUGUST)
From Kabak : 08:30 - 10:30 -12:30 - 14 :30 - 17 : 30 - 19 :30 ( JUNE - JULY - AUGUST )
You can catch them between Fethiye and Oludeniz Terminus. The fare last year was 6TL from Fethiye and 4TL from Oludeniz. I'm not sure what it'll be this year.
( If you're a nervous passenger sit on the driver's side. ;) ))

Hi, where would you catch the dolmus in Ovacik and would it have a sign for Faralya on it ?
-
In the same place that you would pick up an oludeniz bus, and it will say OluDeniz and Kabak on the signs
-
It's a scary ride but amazing when you get up there

We have just been again and caught the 07:10 Kabak bus at the bus stop in Ovacik. (We catch it by the stop at the Taxi rank area but there are other stops). That said, it never seems to come strictly on time but at least we get out to wait for it rather than miss it! Next one is 11:10. The bus that comes before is for Oludeniz- so you could also catch that and just sit and wait at Olu for the next bus which is for Kabak. Current price from Ovacik 7Lira each way per person. It is best to get that early bus so that you get the benefit of the whole day. I find the coast road trip a bit scary but worth it for the Olive Garden breakfast and views. Wear good walking shoes if you intend to walk down cliff path to the beach. A big climb back but the shuttle bus/jeep runs. 5Lira each person. Eatery/drinks by the beach at reasonable prices.

Also it is the Faralya/Kabak bus- do not get off at Faralya (Unless you want to visit there too)
-
That sounds like a lovely day you had Maisie58! It reminds me of when we were kids and on (rare) summer days out we got up really early to get the bus to wherever and we were so excited and full of anticipation for the day ahead. Then we all got home late very tired, sun burnt, (probably mucky) but so happy! 8) ;D ;D

My wonderful missus surprised me with a two night stay at Kabak from next Tuesday (we arrive in Calis tomorrow). Is the Faralya dolmus still running now it's September? All the info I can find give May to August.
And just for comparison, does anyone know what the cost would be by taxi from Calis to Kabak?
TIA

The Oludeniz - Faralya - Kabak dolmus runs all year but with a slightly reduced service in the winter. They're the main carriers of post and supplies for the houses and restaurants along the route.

Well, the current rate advertised on the boards is 75 TL from Oludeniz to Kabak. Not sure about what they'd be looking to charge from Calis.
-
Thanks KKOB, I'm thinking Water Taxi to Fethiye, Dolmus to Olu from there and then taxi from Olu to Kabak.
Maybe not the quickest, but possibly the most scenic!
-
I'm a cheapskate, I'd go dolmus from Fethiye to Kabak. ;)
There's the added bonus that you might get a diversion up to Kirme which is even more scenicer (?) ;)
