Oren or Ortakoy (Or Oren then walk back to Ortakoy - a nice flat walk)
Kemer (good market on Fridays)

If staying the night I would also recommend Kas - smashing place.
Much nicer than Kalkan in my opinion - less touristy and more 'Turkish'

Go to Kas and have a trip over to Meis / Kastellorizo

We just stayed at hotel Sonne in Kaş and went to Meis for the day, strongly recommend.
Would also recommend a trip to Koycegiz or Dalyan.

If you are going to stay over night then also consider Antalya.  This is a coach rather than a Dolmus but same lovely views on the journey with a little more comfort, particularly the larger 53 seaters.  Antalya Gar (coach station) is a little out of the main town, but you cn get in quickly from there on the tram, bus or dolmus, depending on where you want to go.

Someone on here can advise I am sure, but I think you can take the coach via the coast road, rather than over the normal mountain route, and that goes through Kalkan, Kas and I believe Elmarli, stunning journey, if you can do it, and a lot to see in Antalya.

Yes, some Bati Antalya buses use the coast road but they don't go via Elmali. They go via Kumluca and Kemer, and then terminate at Antalya Otogar.

There's plenty of information on their website http://batiantalyatur.com.tr/ about the times and prices for the mountain route (Yayla) and the coastal route (Sahil). You can book tickets online or at their office at Fethiye Otogar. Although, most days, you can just turn-up, buy a ticket and travel on the next available bus.

Gokova (Akyaka) is also worth staying overnight.

Kas and Kalkan make a lovely three day trip, and this year we are doing Olive Garden Kabak, then Dalyan and GOCEK. Like the sound of akyaka, gocova. How do you get there please?
