Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: LoubyLou on November 05, 2009, 06:21:12 AM: There is an excellent karting track turn along the road that by the place where the helicopters are (on the Gunlukbasi to Uzumlu road).
10 ytl for 10 mins karting

Post by: KKOB on November 05, 2009, 10:42:22 AM: I've never seen anyone using it either.

Post by: kayakebab on November 05, 2009, 11:00:03 AM: We went to the one on the way to Uzumlu - almost opposite the entrance to the animal centre- 'grown up' played too and they had a fab time. I watched! Really friendly people brought me complimentary cay.

Funniest thing was watching them shooing the horses off the track before they could start, and watching the horses gradually wander back onto the track, so they had to steer round them. Hilarious! Only In Turkey!

This was adults aswell - we went there at a not very busy time, but there always seemed to be poeple turning up for a while. This is ideal for us as our teens can get there easily from uzumlu.

Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: captainjon on March 24, 2010, 18:33:42 PM: From the water taxi bridge or the central traffic island I would think a max of 15lira.

Post by: Robw on March 24, 2010, 19:29:22 PM: Thanks for that. Is it advertised around the resort?
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: legless on March 24, 2010, 19:33:40 PM: the price last time we were there was 1ytl per minute which is good value. But beware its addictive

Post by: amanda bullock on June 24, 2010, 15:00:47 PM: oo Pookie! come to mine for a rest.lol.Back on topic,How much is it per minute at the one in Hisaronu.That one seems more convenient as on the dolmus route to Olu?
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: LoubyLou on July 04, 2010, 14:42:00 PM: Hi Pookies! The track is fairly large - large enough for the grown ups aswell! Scottie did some karting with his freind in March. They had about 10 karts there when we went. 10 ytl for 10 mins. Unless you have extra teenage boys with you - I think you are referring to my lot!! Its only 3 of them now!! Hope you are all well. xx

Post by: pookie on July 05, 2010, 09:04:43 AM: thanks Loubs ! glad they are down to three .....won't have to pack quite so many valium now !! Speak soon - miss you guys (and am in need of large chocolate cherry cake..!) xxx
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: HappyMonday on July 05, 2010, 11:48:10 AM: Its by far the best track in the area and proper karts as well - not like the ones in Hisaronu. I went with my three teenage sons a few weeks ago and we had a great time. Definitely recommend.

Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: pookie on July 16, 2010, 12:13:45 PM: which one looked shut up ? the one on the main Fethiye road, or the one off the uzumlu road ?
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: yabanci on July 16, 2010, 13:29:58 PM: The one on the Dalaman Road before the Ciflik turnoff.
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: pookie on July 16, 2010, 13:44:41 PM: ah, by all accounts the one of the Uzumlu road (still open) was far better anyway. thanks all.

How do we get to this from Calis Pookie? Do you know the opening times please? :)
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: pookie on July 16, 2010, 19:57:35 PM: sorry I dont know the opening times Rob, but easy to find. If you are taking the Dolmus.....jump out at the Dolmus stop by the animal shelter on the Uzumlu road. You will see a sign for it on the side opposite the animal shelter that takes you through a wooded area....follow the small road and you will find it easily.

Post by: LoubyLou on July 17, 2010, 09:24:57 AM: Its open all day/evening, used by Turkish locals as well as expats. They have a cafe there (when we went it was out of season so they only served drinks, but I think they do food aswell). If they are busy they have some picnic tables to sit and watch until its your slot, and you have the mountains in the backdrop so lovely scenery to wait in aswell.

Post by: LoubyLou on July 17, 2010, 09:28:15 AM: I think it is open all day through to the evening. There alwasy seems to be someone there.
Title: Karting Track for Those with Teens
Post by: HappyMonday on July 17, 2010, 10:34:50 AM: When you cross the Antalya road from Gunlukbasi to Uzumlu, just past the houses there is a sign pointing off to your right and its about 200m down there. They have cafe and seats for watching. Go karts are proper karts and not the toy ones at Hisaronu so easier to go into the sides at corners and if going to fast and hit brakes and acceleration at same time as per normal karts your brakes tend to fail. Having said that - perfectly safe and lots of fun with a track 4 times the size at least bigger than the one in Hisaronu.
