Title: Visiting Koca Calis this week...any help would be good.
Post by: redgeandsue on July 14, 2014, 19:13:49 PM
Hello, normally stay in and around Ovacik but we have booked a villa in Koca Calis for 2 weeks and arrive this week.  Can anyone recommend some great places to eat in Koca and good bars to drink at, save us getting the dolmus into Calis, Fethiye, etc. and we would like to support the local businesses. Many thanks.....

Hi,we stay at telmessos complex in Koca Calis and we sometimes go to the Meekan or Koca Calis beach bar which are both on the beach. The food and entertainment are both good value for money and there's sometimes entertainment there too. Hope you have a fab time.

I agree the Mekan on the beech is excellent, you can lay on the free sun beds all day and get waiter service and then dine there in the evening, great food and wonderful sunset. Lovely staff ad always helpful and lovely and clean.  Mozzy bar for a drink in the evening and go and try the Defne pension, lovely family run pension with good home cooking by Mama, lovely pool to use as well. If not on menu just ask and they will oblige or get fish fresh in for you on another evening.

Thanks for the info, I found the Defne pension on TripAdvisor and it sounds great, we shall definitely visit for dinner.  Also Mekan Restaurant is on Facebook and looks lovely....really looking forward to the trip now.

If you go to the start of the prom at your end Oben restaurant is well worth a try.Great food .lovely staff ,restaurant has feelgood factor. spotless kitchen.If there is a problem tell Oben and it will be sorted. Before going home have a drink sitting on the comfy chairs and watch the world go by.Sure you will enjoy. Wish it was me.

We also love Obens great food and they can't do enough for you. I think it is a family run restaurant.  We also love sipping cold wine in those comfy chairs watching a flow of people going to or coming from the beach. Lovely and cool there. Mmm . . :D

Just before Oben you will find Guvens. We always have a couple if meals there and they never fail to deliver great food and service. Try their Turkish Stew or Ottoman Stew!

Also, next to Mekans is Koca Calis Beach Bar. You can also use their beds for free and the food was excellent when we were there in June.

We have a villa in Koca Calis and often eat at The Angel Bar - also The Surf Cafe (beach club) is good.

Personally I think Mekan is the best beach bar in Koca Calis and  do an amazing Turkish breakfast, the food in general is great there,  they also so English  breakfast but not tried it.
Like the Ragans we stay at Telmessos and is really handy for us,  enjoy your stay :0)

We are back on Telmessos next week and I don't think you can beat Bakrac Beach club. Nebi + family are really good host's.
Well worth a walk up there  8)

I agree the Meekan or please try the Defne Pension lovely home cooked food and they do a brilliant BBQ night, with belly dancers and fun. Well worth a visit and mama and Barry will look after you. If you go in to Fethyre go to the Megri excellent.

New place opened up this year called Melodi bar, owned and run by Selma and Figo, great people and the food is good also. You will be made most welcome.

Must agree with Dycedon and Bulla, for REALLY good, FRESH food, you cannot match Melodi Bar. We have known Figo and Selma for over 12 years now, and have still to meet a couple who are GENUINELY concerned that their customers have a wonderful time , Nothing pretentious about this couple, just real friendship from 2 of the loveliest, hard-working people we have come to regard as friends . You will NOT be disappointed.
By the way, Figo is originally from Erzurum, and if asked, IN ADVANCE, he will be more than happy to show of his skills by cooking some of the wonderful, genuine Turkish meals from that area . Afiyet Olsun.
