Does anyone know how much it costs and how often it runs please ?
-
A couple of years ago it was 5TL, so probably not much more than that now, and it runs every hour during the day.
-
Ta - will report fare on our return !
-
Are you just going to Kemer, or are you carrying-on up to Seki and Elmali ?
-
We were planning just a day trip to Kemer - does the same dolmus go further then ? (And if so is getting back less regular ?) Spoke to a Kemer dolmus driver in Fethiye today and he said they depart every 20mins mon-sat and 30mins sun.
-
Ha ha ! Just looked on Google maps - just Kemer for the day trip !!!!
-
I can't quite believe that a 30km dolmus trip only costs 3.5TL.
And it was 19 degrees there at lunchtime !!!!
What a lovely little town - untouched by modern life an tourism.
Looks like a fabulous place to start some good walks from.
Other dolmuses seem to depart from there - to where ?
(The Saklikent one seems to go through)
-
I've done Fethiye - Kemer - Seki - Elmali - Essenkoy - Fethiye in a day on dolmuses in the past and had plenty of time for some food and siteseeing.

You obviously missed the huge Hanel Houses and Infinity developements on the hill behind the town and down stream going towards the D400.
You can get all over the place from Kemer. It's a good dolmus hub. Oren, Uzumlu, Gocek, Saklikent, Tlos, Kas, Kalkan, Essenkoy, Patara, Korkutelli and eventually right out to Antalya if you're adventurous.

We are planning on exploring as many routes as possible combined with walks,
one of the great pleasures of not having a car !!!
I do wish that there was a comprehensive map (and rough timetable ?) of the routes though.
I couldn't see an otogar in Kemer- is there one ?
(Or just pick em up on the street ?)
-
There is no otogar in Kemer, as you say you pick them up on the street.
If you go to the dolmus station in Fethiye behind the petrol stations, a lot of the dolmus routes have boards/bits of paper with timetables printed on or just speak to a driver and he will probably produce a typed timetable for you. Travelling on the dolmus is such a fun way of exploring the area around Fethiye - we just love it.
-
If you're in the town square in Kemer, cross the bridge over the river and you'll see an area where a number of the dolmuses congregate. I think it's where they also hold they weekly market.
I'd definitely recommend a trip up to Seki and Elmali at this time of the year for the snowscenes as well as in the springtime when the apple blossom is in full bloom.
Each of the co-operatives that run out of Fethiye Dolmus Otogar produce a leaflet of routes, times and fares which you can get a copy of.
