Hi Bella, we used to go to Greece every year (Corfu loads of times) and tried Turkey 3 years ago. I can tell you that Turkey is 'head and shoulders' above Greece. I know you will have a great time, enjoy.

Great time to go and you will love Calis and Fethiye I'm sure.

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Bella - what dates are you going to the Oykun - my husband and I are going from 14th to 28th May? We have stayed there before and it is one of the best. The lady on Reception (who everyone calls Goldie) is great, she is very helpful and Oykun the owner is lovely too. The staff are friendly and helpful. I am sure you will have a great time but do go out for meals at night, one of the most enjoyable things is being able to walk up and down the promenade and choose what you want to eat from the variety of different restaurants, we think it is part of the holiday. Good Luck and we might just be able to say hello.

Hi Bella
You will not be lost for long at the Oykun! It is so friendly, everyone smiles at you and they are so courteous. It is just off the main strip down a paved road so once you get your bearings you will not have a problem. There are some great restaurants in Calis and you can also get the dolmus (small mini-van taxis which stop wherever you put your hand up and charge about 1.50 Tl to go into Fethiye the nearest town. During the day you can also get the water taxi from the wooden bridge and go across the bay to Fethiye and last year it cost 5Tl and it is a great experience.
I will look out for you at the Oykun.
Enjoy
Janet

Welcome to CBF I am sure you will have a great time here with so much to do and see.

There are so many nice restaurants here that I am sure B&B is a good choice. Everywhere is very accessible and you will find yourself spoilt for choice.

Is it best to take Turkish Lira, travellers cheques or euros to Calis?

Highlander · « **Reply #28 on:** May 01, 2011, 19:09:25 PM »

The general consensus is to take just enough lira to last you through the first day or so and then change when in Calis as you will get a better rate there.

Cannot comment on whether euros are better than GBP.

Travellers cheque are no problem to change.

Hope this helps. Have a lovely time.
