Water taxis/taxis

[sooey]

We are going to Kalkan for first 2 weeks in August and do not plan to hire a car.  Our accommodation is 5 mins walk down the hill to beach club/swimming platforms but we plan to go to Patara beach and the other sandy one whose name I have forgotten!!  What is the quickest/cheapest way to do this? Do you have to pre-book taxis in August? Thanks Sue

taxis are everywhere all scratching about for business....cheapest way to Patara is by the dolmus,the same to  Kaputas beach(careful at Kaputas..it is a beach surrounded by rock and it gets unbelievably hot)

Thanks for this.  Do we haggle over price.  Don''t want to appear too stupid but is a dolmus a water taxi?!!

Dolmus is a little white mini bus...(dolmus means "stuffed"in turkish)they are the commonest means of transport and cheap..
