Footpath/cycle lane from Fethiye to Calis

[Menthol]

Enjoy your stay we will be about 6 weeks behind you            It's a bit warm for us at present there.

I think that's what I'm looking forward to most of all, Don - having our own place to come and go as we please in the cooler months as well. We'll have a great time, thank you. We always do! 

Not sure whether to hire any bikes or not now, after reading this. Had visions of me and the husband merrily pedalling the cycle path into Fethiye with the breeze in our hair (sorry MY hair, 'TA' hasn't got any .. )

Our biking does are well over.  Still got plenty of hair though.     We usually walk about 5 miles a day at home.     

In Fethiye we usually park near the Shaka and walk into town if its not raining. We stay in Keciler it's less than 5 miles from Fethiye but a million miles apart. One delivery of mail a week to the local mosque.      The drive into Fethyie on the moutain road can get a bit exciting at times.

The exchange looks very good as well

Sounds lovely   

And the exchange rate is cracking! Just about to see my son off to Calis  - he leaves tomorrow for a week.

'TA'   - T'other 'Arf ??

Sorry, can't get outside of the quote thingy   :

My husband & I cycled from Calis to Fethiye & back in June, scariest bit was getting to the start of the bike path, but was fine there after, I have to say once we got to where the prom starts we did cycle along that, mainly because the views are so beautiful & we could keep stopping off for a drink along the way, was a very pleasant few hours spent   Enjoy!!

Spot on Bluwise! TA does stand for Tother Arf indeed!
Seems we share a sense of humour too. You and I could be very dangerous if we ever got together ........ 

If we do the Calis > Fethiye cycle run, I may have to get TA a three wheeler.

You have been able for many years to cycle along from Fethiye to Calis & VV - see You Tube link below

Its just getting easier with surfacing of prom being extended.

UPDATE !
Today they have sunk flashing red and blue lights in to the road, illuminating the edge of the cycle lane! They are very bright and I am little concerned that pilots might think it's a runway..
Having just returned from a walk with the dog I am pleased to report we are still sharing the pavement with cyclists. In fact things seemed slightly more chaotic this evening as we all gazed in wonder at the new technology.

Hmmmm,

what a dilemma.  The cycle lanes are great if you are in a hurry and want to crack on - but the prom is much better if you are out to enjoy yourself and take in the views.

We have always cycled on the prom (as you will have seen from my videos) - albeit it slowly when there were people about. But I guess this is frowned upon by some possibly due to a few wreckless riders.

I guess this could polarise views somewhat - I would be interested to see some sort of pole on the topic.
