Meis Daily Trip

[mike and lyn]

Can anyone offer their experiences of which tour company to go over to Meis with?  We will be in Kalkan from 20/8 for a week and want to do this trip. I know Abi Tours charge 28 GBP, how about ADDA?
thanks

or you could go on the dolmus and diy. An adventure and much cheaper

[kalkan4eva]

Went with Adda last year and it was £25 per person then. Absolutely no problem and not a huge difference price-wise from DIY option

we went with club lycia and paid £30 each. it is advertised as £20 on their board outside but thats without a minibus...just a careful marketing ploy I think. Either way, we went with them. Picked up from hotel, dropped off. safe driver. we were 45 minutes early to the boat...the boat man took our passports and said come back at 10am. Ok....we thought. leave your passports with a complete stranger...ok. came back at 9:45am...got on board.....sailed to meis. had a lovely day in meis. very chilled out and relaxed. take your cossies and go swimming too as we were quite hot and could have murdered a dip! The resteraunt round to the left hand side of the harbour (as if youre looking into the harbour from the sea)...right round the side....almost before you get to the hospital and gift stalls...outside the coast guard ship...very very friendly and good priced tasty food. you can spend euros, lira, gbp there. and there is a cash machine too. got on the ferry back...chatted to a few people who were either living in turkey or have family who live there...got off the ferry and got told to go sit in the cafe over the road and wait for passports. almost an hour before our passports arrived! apparently they have to take them to the police3 station to get them stamped etc. but not with us there. bit wierd to me but hey ho...it was just a long wait wondering what was going on. our taxi home was waiting for us and dropped us off at our hotel. all in all a good trip. but next time id get the early dolmus bus and spend a bit of time in kas and do it direct. only problem with that is the last one back is 1600 apparently...we were waiting until about 16:40 for our passports. not sure what the two we met did as they were getting a dolmus back. there is a boat and taxis though.

hope this helps. x

Don't go on a Monday, everthing is closed apparently. My mum recently went and the tour company sold her the trip but forgot to mention it. She was really dissapointed.

My son was there a couple of weeks ago on a Monday and says that everything was open as usual. Suppose it best to check with the tour company. We've always gone with Abi Travel and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent there. Views are spectacular and the whole island has a lovely atmosphere

just remember though all the shops do close for siesta, and will still be closed by the time you have to get back on the boat. We hadn't wanted to buy our bacon and pork sausages until last minute because of the heat, and found the supermarket on the front closed. Luckily we were directed to a tiny little shop, off the beaten track which was no bigger than a large cupboard - but they had a fridge selling bacon and sausages

     I know this subject has been covered before, but I have a question?
 
On previous visits to Kalkan in mid-Sept, we attempted to book a trip to Meis but were informed by the travel company (local) that the trips had stopped!   We arrive week commencing 20th September and would love to go to Meis, we do not want to be disappointed again!  Anyone have any info? Thanks
