Hi all,
We often stay in Ciftlik and do not mind walking, we walk from the near the canal road down into the village, cross the main road near the junction by Melissa market, we cross over the main road and walk down the lane that goes to the Carretta beach bar, at the junction (we call it goat corner) we turn left and divert round the back of the Telmessos complex and this brings you out at the far end of Koca Calis. This takes us about 45 minutes before we are at the area near to the Mutlu bar.
We do this with our two daughters, we just carry bottles of water!
As Scunner says I would say a 10 minute walk to the beach for you.
