Calis Beach
If your idea of a holiday is lazing in the sun on a beach or by the pool, than Calis Beach is for you. The shingle beach stretches for 4 km with hotels, bars and restaurants on the beach front road which runs along it. The atmosphere is very informal and relaxed here, making it ideal for sun-worshippers and family holidays. If you want to spend some livelier hours, than take a dolmus ride to nearby Fethiye, with its colourful harbour, shops, and nightlife.
Fethiye
Fethiye is a pretty town at the hillsides of the Mount Mendos, the part of the Tourus Mountain chains, and surrounds the bay that it has given its name to. The high mountain range formed by rises and falls of the crust during the Tertiary Geological Period, and hundreds of bays lying at the mountainside seem to embrace each other along the Fethiye shore line. This mountain range (it was called the Kragos and Antikragos in the antique period) with an altitude of more than 6560 feet (2000m.) forms the southwest end of the Toros (Taurus) chain and lies parallel to the shore without a single passage to the inner regions. On a warm and sunny winter day, peculiar to the Mediterranean climate while you are sipping at your Turkish tea or Turkish coffee, at one of the local tea gardens, along the coast, these mountains with pine trees at their skirts, white snow and mist on their summits will once more welcome you to heaven. Dry, long, hot summers and short, warm, rainy winters are climatic characteristics of Fethiye . The temperature which is around 86-105 F (30-40 C) during the summer, is usually above 50 F (10 C) in the winter. Considering the fact that in these turquoise-colored seas that in no season falls below 60 F (16 C) swimming is possible for nine months of the year, we might as well conclude that there are only two seasons in Fethiye : Spring and Summer!
Olu deniz
Unlike other busy holiday destinations in Turkey, this is a quiet spot. Perhaps because it doesn’t have the busy bazaars or a casino. (All of which can be found a 30 minute drive away). The road ends here. To one side is the sea, the rest are small villages, and mountains. It is about one of these mountains that our story is all about. The Baba Dag, towering 1969 m’ behind me. (Dag pronounced Da means mountain, Baba means Father, in Turkish) Baba Dag offers three takeoff sites at 1700, 1800 and 1900 meters, facing SW , E and NE / SE respectively, which enable takeoffs with any wind direction. A straight glide towards the beach, which is the landing zone, gives you an average of 1400 meters above the sea, enough height to lazily fly above the small coves that make up the coastline east of the beach or practice all the exercises you ever dreamed of.
