Places to visit on the Dolmus
« on: September 13, 2009, 16:39:43 PM »
I often stand on the road leading from Fethiye waiting to get the Dolmus back to Calis. When I see all of the destination names in the window of the other busses, I often wonder where and what the place is like.

As we are over there for a month from next Friday, we have decided to take some trips to these unknown destinations, but rather than take a random choice, I wonder if anyone can offer some advice.

We have been to the the obvious places, Gemiler, Gunkuklu, Katranchi, Gocek, Kaya, Hisaronu, Olu Deniz, Saklikent, Tlos, Yaka Park & Dalyian.

Cheers

Rimms

Try the Yuruk Museum at Ciflik.

Get a dolmus out to Faralya and Kabak and either just chill or walk part of the Lycian Way

Seki is also a nice ride and if you wanted to you could go on from there to Elmali.

You've been to Kaya, but if you haven't been to Gemiler it's worth getting a Kaya dolmus and staying on all the way down to Gemiler.

There's Kalkan and Kas.

I'll let someone else have a turn now.

KayaKoyOldBoy,
We are over for a week in October and aim to walk Kaya to The Lagoon again, can you please give me a little more info on the walk to The Old Monastary Ruins that you offer to take people along to.  We will be 4 adults of middle ages and 2 girls (12 & 8) but the girls are good walkers, 7 -8 miles of the South Downs in Hampshire is good for them, so please do not be put off if their are hills involved, will I find a link on the Fethiye Times Website?  Many thanks  Carol

The walk from our starting to the monastery ruins is only about 4 kms but there's a steep walk down and subsequently a steep walk back up. Yes you'll find the link in the Fethiye Times.

If you want I'll be happy to accompany you out to Af Kule. We can fix a date and there maybe other members who are out at the same time who'll be interested in joining us.

That would be very kind of you, thank you for your offer. Will get together with our friends this week and get dates that they are free and come back to you, did not do any long walks in August it was too hot.
