Calis Beach

[mercury]

Not many expats use the places on the front these days except when they have family or friends out.. There are a lot of other places to eat and drink at that don't charge what the bars on the front do.  Calis is advertised as The Beach area of Fethiye... If you look at such as Thomsons you could be forgiven as a newbie to the area for thinking that it is a beautiful place to visit. The Ariel views are stunning.. It must be a huge disappointment to some of them... Yes most of us love the area and the people in it but they really need to get their act together..

Oh dear. If any guests are viewing this subject on the forum, with a view to booking a last minute holiday, they'll have had their mind made up for them - don't to come to Calis !!!
No matter what excuses are made, by either the council, the mayor or anyone else, it is totally inexcusable for any beachside resort who rely heavily on tourism to allow their prime asset to disintegrate into, what sounds like a mini landfill site. Whilst I love Calis & have holidayed there for many years, I've also found the lack of respect for the cleanliness of the beach embarassing.
We've got a holiday booked for June and will only use the beach areas at Carretta & Guvens or even Sat as they seem the only businesses with any interest of keeping their section of the beach in anything like a place where you'd like to spend a few hours chilling in any sort of comfort.

I find it very disappointing that Calis is the only beach that I have not used since living here.I have visited many beach resorts from Izmir to Mersin over the years and by far Calis is the worst kept one, yet it should be one off the best when you think of its views and central location. When you can go just around the bay of Fethiye and find many wonderful beach clubs or hop on a boat and go to Ada beach club why would you want to spend you day chilling out laying next to broken bottles,dog poo,fag butts,cans,plastic bottles,discarded bags of rubbish ,old fishing tackle and pay for the privilege .To add insult to injury not even have waiter service for the odd cocktail. I know you can find a couple of places that do take care of the parts near them but its not good enough.Come on Calis Beach pull your finger out otherwise we will have to come up with a new name. Calis skip maybe.

Was at Olu Deniz yday and the difference between their clean beach and the filthy one at Calis is staggering

Philip - you are so right - this was what I saw this morning opposite Annas Bar - but not a lot different the full length of the beach. We were looking at holiday makers having their breakfasts and looking out to a scene that looked like some third world country with no desire for tourists - so sad........

That's shocking, disgusting.  I'ts not a beach it's a land fill.

 Kevin,  Someone on CBF once described Calis as the next best place to heaven, but in fairness I don't think he/she had been to the beach.

We have friends staying in Calis in a beach front hotel for the firs time, and they called yestday and told us that the beach is full of rubbish!!!! Very dissapointing for them as not sure they will be going back, and as we recommended it to them we feel quite bad about it.

We are arriving on the 16th may I really hope it's been cleared, we have flights booked for September as well and I'm sure if it's as bad as it looks and people are saying we will be looking for another resort for September

How disappointing. You would think that hoteliers, bar and restaurant owners  would take some pride in the beach and make an effort to make it nice - surely it's the lure of the beach and its beautiful views that bring them their custom.If they don't want to do it they should be on to the Council.  After all its tourism that brings in the lire and after spending so much money doing up the canal at the back, why wouldn't they make the front nice as well.  Maybe once people see rats running all over the place they may change their minds. We are in Calis soon for two weeks and again in September.  I truly hope someone kicks a...e and gets thins moving.
