This delightful resort exudes Turkish charm with its laid-back and friendly atmosphere and boasts a wealth of hotels, bars and restaurants; it is quieter and more pleasant than the nearby inland centres of Hisaronu and Ovacik

Calis  is a central point for booking and embarking on guided tours, day trips, boat trips, car hire and safari jeeps, small local supermarkets, bars, cafes and restaurants make up this popular area

The beach make-up ranges from sand to pebbles depending on your location, as it very long, there is ample room for everyone and you will not need to be up at the crack of dawn to place your towel before any other person does

 You can opt to relax in the sociable atmosphere, swim, sunbathe and snorkel, or when cooling offshore breezes spring up in the afternoon (just when it is the hottest part of the day), wind-surf or kite-surf  in the warm Aegean/Mediterranean Sea
The promenade becomes alive at night with its many bars and restaurants offering both Turkish and International cuisine with the  evenings providing regular free shows with an array of amazing sunsets

The Fethiye Windsurfing club lies to the north of the central promenade and takes a fifteen minutes or so stroll along the beach to reach there

For those seeking a little more adventure a short ten minute dolmus or taxi ride will take you into the traditional market and marina town of Fethiye
Access into Fethiye is by a twenty-minute water taxi (water dolmus) trip across the bay where you may be fortunate enough to spot one of the many protected sea turtles, alternatively you can catch a minibus (dolmus) which passes thro every few minutes

Calis-Beach has the famous Sunday market (a truly local market) which, while on a smaller scale to those in Fethiye, it makes for a fascinating day while simultaneously offering the opportunity to supplement your weekly self-catering provisions
You will find a water taxi (water dolmus) sailing across the bay to the harbour of Fethiye
