Calis Beach

The best known beach around Fethiye is the Calis Beach. It is off the road and is five kilometres of narrow sand beach. It is suitable for wind surfing as it receives good breezes. The beach is five kilometres from the town and there are frequent minibus and bus services to Calis and also a regular water-taxi service during the summer season. On the way, there is a row of hotels, along with restaurants, bars and shops. A Yoruk (Turkish nomad) tent is set up on the beach. This has been a good way to promote the disappearing Yoruk culture and cuisine. It receives great interest from visitors.
