Can anyone please tell me what nightlife there is in Calis for a young teen. I have heard the name Scarlets mentioned. Any info would be appreciated. Many Thanks.

Scarlett's, B52 and a few others.

Depends how young the young teens are - what sort of thing are you looking for?
-
I think most of the teenagers,go to the scarlet bar,

13 and 14 both girls and go to the same dance studio so very much into dancing.Can be a bit scatty when together like most teens and think they know it all. Apart from that normal really.

You can watch over them from a safe distance at Scarletts or B52. If they want the loud music from B52 and you prefer it quieter, you can see all that is happening from Kerim bar opposite without having your ear drums permanently damaged :o
What about Vojos - always lots of fun things happening there that they (and you if you so desire) could join in with ?

Thanks for that. All good info..apart from the "always lots of fun things happening there that they (and you if you so desire) could join in with" bit. :)
Have yo seen what I look like :)

My advice is to go into these places with your teens - perhaps earlier in the evening when they are quiet. A quick word with the staff saying you want them to enjoy themselves but could they keep an eye on them will do the trick. They will indeed ensure they have a great time without any problems. Especially in Scarlett, you just need to ask.

Thanks Scunner I appreciate that advice. I have read in the "search "a few things that has already put me on alert modefor when we come over. I want them to feel they can enjoy themselves but above feel protected.Which as a dad is my responsibility. I am not kidding myself that Turkey is any safer then the UK so will treat being there even more caution where the girls are concerned.Just want to enjoy a great holiday for all of us.

Scunner, sometimes it's the staff in 'certain' places that you have to beware of - ha ha ha. I would be explaining to the teenagers before they go, NOT to expect too much as far as nightlife is concerned and if you take them to any of the bars, stay with them. Point out the plus side of things to do during the day, swimming in the sea or pool, exciting excursions, the markets, going for nice meals etc. etc. Young people, particularly young girls, who tend to look older than they are will get lots of attention so without being alarmist, I would ensure that I was with them or close bye when they are out and about, especially in the evening.

Totally agree with Ray, its the staff who are the worst at being too friendly with members of the opposite sex. A free drink and lots of flattery is hard to resist, whatever your age. I do know this because as an extremely mature woman I regularly get propositioned by waiters, mainly because I haven't got a man in tow!! I would not be letting two nubile youngsters go alone into bars in the evening, its dangerous wherever you are, and girls as young as these wouldn't even get into bars or clubs in England.

There's always the place known as the " Vegas of Mugla District"- Uzumlu

Hi Dave
I totally agree with Scunner. Our girls are grown up and married now but have been coming to Calis with us for 12 years. If you go into B52 and speak with the lads who work there, ( who we have also seen grow up) , they will keep and eye on them. In my experience it's the English lads who can be more a nuisance.
In the past we have not wanted to stay out late and One of the lads has walked our girls back to the Oykun Hotel and seen them safely inside at stupid o'clock in the morning. Never had a problem.
Hope this helps

You might try intoducing yourself to Cengizhan Er (Gengis) :) who is working at the Scarletts Bar, he's a decent young man, tell him to keep an eye on them and say you'll be close by in Dawn Beach Bar or Ali's Bar where you can keep a discreet eye on them.

I think Scarlett bar have some decent staff working through the summer, Cumali (of Shamrock origin) is there at the moment who is a good guy. I would say that both B52 and Scarlett bar are very nightclub-esque so even though your girls would be well looked after, especially in the high of summer I've seen lots of older teens in there getting quite tipsy and it gets a bit loud to say the least. If they like dancing though my vote would be Scarlett bar.

Both the girls have been reading this and on seeing the pic the comment was "cute".......,.I can see trouble looming ahead here.

We stayed in calis last summer with our 16 year old daughter and three of her friends and were slightly concerned about our responsibility regarding nightlife! They were absolutely fine and would spend their time between Scarletts and b52. We would sit in one of the bars on the main street where we could see them and they would nip out from time to time, say on the hour, to let us know they were OK. The only place they didn't feel comfortable was bus stop facing the beach. They had a brilliant time with the only problem being us parents staying awake!!!!

With all due respect to ruthb, there is a world of difference between a 13 year old, and a 16 year old. Up to the age of 16ish I would like to think clubs and bars are out of the question unless they are family orientated with "oldies" in attendance. As for being out in a club or bar after midnight, to me that would be a definite No. Kids nowadays grow up too fast already. Going to dance classes etc. in England is a world away from clubbing abroad. Call me old-fashioned if you like, but that is my opinion.

Gengis is a lovely well mannered boy, I agree a word with him and he will guard them with his life, as would all the staff in Scarlett.
