Yacht Classic Withdrawal Symptoms - Going Cold Turkey

It's Monday, the start of a new week, and the start of week where we are bunkering down to get back to some sort of normal, daily life where we do things like cooking and ironing and spending as little money as possible (we have the latter down to a fine art). You see, we've just spent the last fortnight with friends who came to Fethiye on holiday and, luckily for us, they stayed at the Yacht Classic Hotel along the Karagözler.

The Yacht Classic Hotel, Fethiye

Why was it lucky for us? Because, on occasion, we love to go there for a swim. But, because our friends were staying there, we had a perfect excuse to go there for a swim almost every day. We got used to it! So used to it, in fact, that even on the days when our friends took themselves off to the beach (they're professional sunbathers), we would still pop down to the pool for a cooling dip late in the afternoon, telling ourselves we were just waiting for our friends to return for the evening ahead.

On top of Fethiye's usual hot, summer heat, we also had a mini heatwave to deal with last week. Fethiye is not known for its breezes, but we found welcome respite by the sea here. Apart from actually sleeping in one of the rooms, we feel like we've just had a holiday at the Yacht Classic - and now we've returned home. We're suffering withdrawal symptoms, but this is self-imposed cold turkey - at least for a short while, anyway...

We even spent a few evenings around the bar

The Yacht Classic is getting itself a reputation as the hotel where the celebs stay when they're in town. And yes, Fethiye has seen some major celebrities of late. None other than current James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, stayed here while filming was taking place for the latest Bond film, Skyfall. Did he go for a swim while he stayed here? Who knows, but it's nice telling yourself you've been for a swim in the same pool as Daniel Craig!
