The Beaches

Calis Beach, of course right on your doorstep. 4km arc of  beautiful Mediterranean coastline for you to enjoy & explore.

 

Ciflik Beach, just 2 or 3 miles up the road toward Dalaman, a quite beach, with a gentle slope into the clear, cool waters.

 

Katranci Beach, just a little further down the road towards Dalaman, another little gem just off the beaten track, a car is required. The hilltops are covered with red pines, eucalyptus tress and Cyprus acacias.. From the pathway  along the shoreline, crossing over the hill, the Kizlar cove is reached. These coves are very peaceful, very much like the old Turkey, not many tourists.

 Olu Deniz a resort area, especially the main hillside town of Belcekiz, which has crystal clear water, and a long, mostly shingle [small stones] beach curving away from the town promenade. The promenade by the town has plenty of bars, restaurants and cafés and there are loads of umbrellas and loungers for hire, and a wide range of water sports available. Paragliding and Hand gliding, solo or tandem, off the adjacent mountain and landing on the beach are extremely popular, as is scuba diving.

 

Patara Beach voted the best beach in the world by The Times, is 9 miles long of child-friendly beach backed only by ancient ruins and swooping dunes - with no buildings visible save a small café at one end. Loungers and umbrellas available for rent. No watersports or camping. The area is inexpensive and there's a selection of low-key shops and restaurants in nearby Patara town, with beach commuter transport or a longish walk.
