Title: Another Introduction
Post by: Gaz2810 on February 15, 2010, 21:32:24 PM: Hello,
We are in the process of booking a two week break in Calis Beach in July 2010. I and my wife have visited Turkey before, my wife several times the last being in 2007.
We would be very grateful for any information/advice which would enhance our holiday. We are a family of 2 adults and a 9 yr old boy and it would be really helpfull to know the better restaurants and the prices we would expect to pay for food and drink. Our son William is also interested in the water park so info regarding this would also be helpfull.
Thanks, Gary, Jo and William.

Try this link for an idea of "better" restaurants. Prices maybe 20 lira for a main course.

I don't drink so someone else will have to help you with those prices and the water park.

I am finding the site very interesting, just been getting an idea of Airport Transfer, looks like approx £65 return with a usefull link.

We don't know the exact location of our apartment at this time but the one we favour states it is towards the quiet end of Calis Beach approx 20 minutes walk to the centre of Calis. Would this walk be along a quiet road, is it safe.

Forgive me for maybe stating the obvious but there is a promenade along the entire length of the beach and you may be able to walk from your place to the centre of Calis.

Post by: Gaz2810 on February 15, 2010, 22:27:05 PM: I would have posted the name Highlander but we don't know it at this stage,all we have to go on are photo's and a description on the web. As soon as we know the name i'll post it.
I know of the promenade so hopefully you will be right and it will run close to our apartment.

I took the photograph early one morning just before I set off on my daily run to Fethiye
to collect some fresh bread for the breakfast I normally prepare before Brenda wakens.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday.

I'm sure that even if Gary doesn't actually get around to preparing breakfast for you, that you will have a fabulous time.

Just for the record (and before someone else on here spills the beans) I cannot boil an egg, far less prepare a Turkish breakast, and can barely run to the toilet far less run into Fethiye.

Regards

H

Post by: Gaz2810 on February 16, 2010, 12:22:40 PM: Just found out this morning the apartment we were hoping to book in Calis is now unavailable. So....we have a few other apartments in mind but can anyone recommend.
Also which area of the forum are we best asking the above question.I'll mention our basic requirments below incase anyone has any idea's.

We are looking for a two bedroom self catering apartment (ground floor) in a small complex with swimming pool. We don't mind a short walk into Calis (20min max). Not much more to add really,we were to pay £260 a week for 2 weeks from 12-26 July but anything around this price and we would be interested.

Thanks, Gary.

Can I suggest you ask the question in Hotels & Places to Stay Qusetions and Info.

You should get a good response there.

Good luck.
