I can't say that I have ever found taxis, with very few exceptions, anything less than expensive in Turkey which is not surprising considering the price of fuel. Those exceptions happened when they were returning to "base". Then, if you are waiting for a dolmus, they'll slow down and shout a low fare at you just to defray the cost of getting back to the stand. The last time this happened to us was when we got dropped off from an intercity bus in Gunlukbasi and waited, with our luggage, for a dolmus just past the "uc yol" junction to Calis. Seeing us the driver shouted "5 Lira Calis!". Even a penny-pincher like myself couldn't say "No" to that. I guess this isn't the usual rate.

We use the same taxi driver all the time when we are over in Calis.  We ring him and either he or his Dad comes out.  We have never found him expensive.  He is a lovely guy and even bought an anniversary present to our house the day after he dropped us off and we mentioned it was our anniversary.  We have also been taken to his house to meet his new baby..
He charges about £2.00 to take us from our house to Calis Prom. However we always give him a bit more.  We live at the back of Calis near Ciflik.

I have never eaten Kokorec and now I know what it consists of I defo won't be,tho I have borrowed a sheepshead from a restaurant freezer to go put on the table for hubby pretending it was his anniversary pressie (with the permission of the restaurant owner!)

I have never been on a jeep safari and won't be doing so any time soon.
I have never leapt off any of the mountains and also won't be doing that any time soon.
I have never eaten in the evening at Mosaic this is the one thing we will be doing in 2015.
Have had loads of Turkish baths and will continue doing this as you just can't beat when the bubbles descend on you from  the pillowcase and my tan defo lasts longer...
I have never jumped off any of the boats into the sea I would love to do this but can't seem to make myself for fear of what lies beneath!  :)

Perhaps "Beach" should be dropped from the title as it would appear most appear to dislike it.

1.Never been mad enough to jump off a mountain, but been threatened to be chucked off one though !!!
2.Never eaten kokerec- but will definitely try it now I know what it is.
3.Never made a visit to Kayakoy. But will
4.Not daft enough to do a jeep safari.
5.Never booked a package holiday to Calis.
6.Never been wealthy enough to buy any sort of meal at Dalaman airport.

It really makes me wander why we love Calis so much, but we all do.
