Hi welcome to CBF

hope you have a lovely holiday.

The Turkish people love children which for many UK children can be almost too much. Your son is 14 so at least he probably have his cheeks pinched and big kisses lathered on him.

The Turks are a very accepting people I think you have no worries on that score.

Lots of info on water parks and boat trips in the topics. I am sure you'll find them as you browse or do a search on the site.

Have a great time

Of all the places in the World I have been to where people tell you "Oh they love children there", nothing comes close to Turkey in my view and nothing in Turkey comes close to Calis for showing it. Your son will have no problems I am sure.

Enjoy your holiday

Hi Tessa, welcome to the forum

I can only concur with the replies already posted. There are plenty of boat trips from the harbour in Fethiye, and there is a water park in Ovacik just a short dolmus ride away.

I am sure that you will all enjoy Turkey very much, and I would wager that you'll return

We have friends who have a son with special needs, he also looks fine.  They tried out Calis three years ago and have come back every year they love it so much and so does their son.
