Calis Beach

[Rimms]

Just got back from a lovely lunch at Guvens, their Pide & Pizza chef is really one of the best. Anyway, it was busy, beach was spotless, lots of sun beds and brollies and guess what, lots of customers enjoying the beach as well as the hospitality, It was interesting riding along the beach promenade where there were loads of restaurants totally empty with just a couple of forlorn looking waiters stood outside trying to entice people inside, while in front of them was a dirty beach, not a sun bed, cushion or brolly in sight. Come on guys, it's not Rocket Science!

In all our years in Calis we only went on the beach once with our then 3 year old granddaughter... She said "this is horrible  I dont like this beach". Never went on again.. If we used a beach bar for swimming etc. It was down Koca Calis end... Free sunbeds, waiter service. Decent food and very few tourists.. Our favourite places were around the headland in Fethiye. Peace in earth... and Givens of course.

We went to the seaside in Scotland soon after returning to the UK. Beautiful fine white sand, or as an eight year old described it 'not a fake beach like Calis'.

Like Rimms, yesterday we went to Guvens for a spot of lunch and a chillax on the beach.  Nice lunch, clean beach, free sun beds etc. just as it should be.  Not worth going to the main Calis prom beach, even in the season, it's a disgrace and I spend more time moaning about the whole sorry scene than I spend enjoying the sea and beach.

We took our four year old grandson to Calis Beach in the way from the airport to their villa, he was dying to see a beach. I'll never forget his forlorn little face, hands upward facing he just said, " Well Nana, I didn't expect THIS" it was so funny but so true. Through the eyes of babes etc.

First visit of the season today to Calis beach.

Obviously it's been decided just to use it as a municipal rubbish dump.

Absolutely filthy.

How disappointing to read Phil.

Before we lived there we always used to go the first week of May and September - so in other words this week. What the hell must first timers think, it's appalling. Nature gave us one of the best bays in the World and they can't even make it clean.

Is there nothing anybody can do to give the necessary people a kick up the backside to do something to clean up the beach area.  Was very disappointed last year, but hoped the clean up and renovation of the whole front would include the beach.  It will be the bar and restaurant owners loss not to do something to make it attractive to the tourists.  They should be aware we all have a choice of where to spend our much needed pounds and liras.

I went down to the sea front yesterday for the first time in about a year and was quite shocked at just how bad it looks:(  If I was coming out for a holiday I would not be in the least bit happy...and it's not just the beach that is dirty...the new look canal where the boats are is pretty filthy too.

This is really disappointing to hear as we are out in just under six weeks and usually enjoy strolling along the prom before a meal and drink.
Were I Guvens restaurant?
