Are there any art shops in the Calis area?
We have some small prints/paintings of resorts we have had holidays in but none of Calis.
I cannot remember ever seeing prints or paintings of the area for sale.
So,any shops or local artists.
Could be a business opportunity for a talented resident.

There is quite a bit shop by the HSBC on the one way system out of Fethiye. Also a small one by the Cultural Centre on the harbour. With your back to the centre, go to the right and carry straight on up the small side road.

Hi John I hope you are well I remember an art shop just a couple of shops up from Josephs but it stood back from the front so it was not clearly visible from the road. The artist paints lots of pictures of Calis and surrounding areas. However I dont know where her shop will be now the refurbishment is taking place. Perhaps Keith will know ?
Love to you n Joan

There was one on the same side road as the Sechin (sp) restaurant in Gunlukbasi last year.  Looked like they had some really nice pieces when we passed

There is an art shop near our office - just behind our next door neighbour heading beach way. There is also another if you go further behind, there is a fairly disused square with a fountain in the middle; to the left side as you approach from the road is another artists shop.

I purchased one from her too, a beautiful scene of old Istanbul.

Thanks to all.
I never noticed the art shops in Calis and feel a bit foolish considering the years I have visited the resort.
Must spend less time in the bars.
