Hello Nickic and son, welcome to the site.
There is lots of good places to eat and things to do,
it is a question of what your tastes are?
have a good look through the information forums, it is all there.
Have a great time 8)

You should have a great time.

For eating you are spoilt for choice with an endless list of restaurants lining the promenade and the main road to the beach.Take your pick - Turkish, english, italian, chinese - they are all there.

Of course for the son there is the waterpark which has plenty of space for you to relax.

Plenty of shopping in and around Calis (Fethiye) and everything else including great selection of beaches are only a Dolmus (Bus) ride away

Hope you enjoy it

Steve

Thanks for the info.  Will look through the forum for ideas. Looking forward to some sun.  Will all of the attractions be open by end of May?

Hi Nickic,you and your son must try jeep safari it is brilliant,i took my 10yr old son on it last August and i can honestly say it was the best day of my holiday,but then im just a kid at heart.Be prepared to get soaked if u go and buy a couple of water guns.
Have a great holiday.

If you are wondering if you will have a good holiday experience I bet you will. Fethiye is I think a better place than Calis for eating out but Calis is not bad. My rule of thumb is the best restaurants are the ones Turkish and English people both eat in; next best are the ones Turkish people tend to go to and least best, the restaurants who cater mainly for the English where you get chips with everything and tomato or HP sauce.  There is plenty of choice. If you are anxious about food hygienne standards, don't be. We have never had a problem and most places are exceptioanlly clean. There is plenty to do for a 12 year old, though thankfully theme parks are in very very short supply!!! Tell us how you find things when you get back home? Stuart
