Sue, I have not been to Calis but I am very familiar with the area. you will find a lot more to do than in Akyaka with plenty of night life, Fethiye is the nearest large town
and a great place to visit with its rock tombs, Ampitheatre, plenty of shops, good restaurants and snow capped mountain backdrop.
Calis is a lot nearer to a lot of the ancient sites than Akyaka with Tlos,, Saklikent, Patara (17 miles of beautiful white sands), Xanthos, Kaya,The Dalyan Delta, Letoon, Kalkan and Cas
all within a couple of hours drive by coach or dolmus and of course Oludeniz ( the most photographed beach in Turkey is near by)
You will get a more rounded view of Turkey than you will in Akyaka.
Hope this helps
