.... a few years ago, after many Efes's, my friend and I visited the "bowling alley" for a highly competitive, high stakes (fish dinner) game.
A bowling alley, as we knew one, this certainly wasn't.
Rough hewn wooden balls and a fairly short, narrow skittle alley; the pins held up by string and as they descended most of them fell over at the end of the alley.
Hurling the wooden balls at any prone skittle smashed the few standing ones to oblivion.
The machinery then tugged on the strings to raise the dead ones and dropped again, limp as a wet sock.
I think we were laughing too much to do anything but call it a draw.
Probably the best value entertainment we had known in years.
Simple pleasures.

An evening out could have been planned around this. (3 TL per game).
There were 2 lanes as well!

Above the alley there was even an electronic scoreboard, Unfortunately, the numbers didn't all shine up very well.
If you scored an "8" it would only light up "L" because the right hand side lights had burnt out.
"9" was just a small letter "C" in the top left side.
P.S. I still maintain that I won.

Thanks all for your help. Jacqui i took my boys on Jeep Safari in 2009 and i suppose you don't think about what could happen when you book trips. But worth looking into more carefully.
Yes, it's true, we go on holiday and forget about safety. However, there have been fatalities in the past, including the 9 year old girl and her Father killed in the Jeep accident in Fethiye. When you think about it, us Brits are so safety conscience in the U.K. But we go on holiday to foreign countries and jump off mountains sitting next to complete strangers and put our lives in their hands. Also we get into jeeps with unknown drivers and will then stand up and fire water pistols at other jeep passengers and enjoy the Villagers waiting to soak us with hoses and we never think to ask are we Insured? and never consider what it is going to cost us if we have an accident. Personally, wild horses would not get me or any of my family into a Jeep Safari. ;) :(

Are you in a hotel or an apartment?
We have an apartment and my partner's 3 girls have often holidayed with us over the last 10 years including whilst teenagers.The youngest is now 14 and unfortunately cannot holiday with is this year as has just switched to school in Scotland so will now be in class whilst we are in Calis :(
They often enjoyed staying in the swimming pool till quite late and then having a BBQ and playing card games on the balcony or watching a DVD.
They also enjoyed playing pool in the Irish bar in Calis and whilst that has now closed, there are a number of other places with free pool tables... that was often a great way to meet other teenage pals.
I know this isn't as popular as it used to be so don't know if your teenagers would be interested but I believe the Meeting Point used to have Wii afternoons/nights but not sure if they still do or how often they are
There is also the cinema in Fethiye which I believe shows English films but not sure how up to date they are - someone else will have to advise on that.
Hope you have great holiday.

At just 5 Lira a game per person its better value than the Erasta one.
Its on the main road between Calis and Fethiye opposite the supermarket which was called Tansas and is now called Migros.
A small group of us bowl every Tuesday from 16.30 onwards.
I'm sure that they will welcome all,

Again, you need to check insurance for Scuba Diving. We had a friend (he has moved to Australia) He was a scuba diver, but he said he checked out the Scuba diving in Turkey and would not do it and this guy is an expert.Yes its true. Prof .Diving is dangerous but its only demo diving for amateurs. if you have diving licence and you want deep diving ( more than 10 meters) a lot of thing is realy too dangerous but if you can safe diving its like a another world and like space.

after walking down 300+ steps were then told we needed to rent shoes at 3TL each because the walk to waterfall was rocky. So we actually paid to walk down steps and look at a stream. Bit naughty of them i think and when i mentioned to the tour guide he should tell people before paying he couldn't give me an answer. :-\
We found the same last year so we are over on Saturday with Sports Direct (other brands are available) ones for £5. We are down the road from you in UpHolland near Skelmersdale and are brininging 2 15 year old lads and a 12 year old. Rugby League fanatics so probably doing the same itinery as yourselves
