When we left in April they had been extending the walkway along the harbour side from Fethiye to Calis, so how far have they got now?

Also I understand there's a cycle lane from Fethiye to Calis as well, how far does that go?

The cycle lane and the walkway now runs from the new small boat harbour (behind the BP garage) into the town centre.

Thanks for that.

Should be a bit safer on the footpath then assuming the bikers use the cycle path.

Long way to go before they get to Calis Beach then.

Do we know how they are going to build the prom near the Kus Cenneti yet?

I'll probably find out when I go and stay at Bambu Aparts in 14 sleeps time .......

Cycle lane in place but I saw a quad bike using this recently.The road along the new front is very busy, and the road is not very wide in many places, for cars parked, a cycle lane, and cars to safely drive along on a two way road. Of course, the proper way to look at using this area were observed and the best decision taken..................Looking at the boy racers going along there, I have my doubts! Many drivers, myself included, turn right at the traffic lights just past the court building and travel along this stretch of road, rather than continuing past Tansas. Not sure this is the best route now!

Cycling on the prom is the norm and has been for years. Not seen any signs banning it when we were there in June. Mopeds are common too.

The cycle lane is ok as long as you are careful. I've had to wave at a couple of drivers who were coming straight at me whilst cycling in it. If it gets worse ill be back on the prom!

The worst thing about the cycle lane is that if your coming out of Fethiye there is inevitably someone parked on it, or quite often a truck making deliveries, so you then have to go around them and straight into oncoming traffic!
