There are a lot of people in this world doing good things...and, on Monday night at Deep Blue Bar, a few people got together to do something good. Some of the musicians who have been playing at Deep Blue throughout winter decided to get together and put on a 'bit of a do' to raise some money for … [Read more...]
Fethiye – Paspatur Is Back On The Map
January 6, 2015 4 Comments
Paspatur, Fethiye's old town - it'll always sit somewhere peacefully inside us. As well as the harbour views along the Karagözler, it was the area that really stole us when we first came to Fethiye on holiday in 1998. Trailing, lush and leafy vines shading us from the hot sun, so peaceful in the … [Read more...]
Fethiye In June – It’s Been A Bumper Month
June 28, 2014 2 Comments
Every month on the blog, we do a little round up of random happenings in the Fethiye area - things that never get a blog post all to themselves (even though they ought to) purely for time reasons - and we also look back on a few Fethiye posts we did manage to do. Well, we've got a lot to tell you … [Read more...]

Summer in Fethiye has kicked off with a bang for us - different groups of friends over from England all at the same time and the days merge into one. A backdrop to all of this was the Fethiye Culture and Arts Days which happens every year and just gets bigger and better each time. We were really … [Read more...]

We're always telling you about how new restaurants and bars are popping up in Fethiye, how existing places are being refurbished - or being knocked down and started all over again.

Paspatur will always have a special place in our hearts, and it plays a pretty big part in our life in Fethiye too - well, we've spent enough time drinking there over the years. If you know Fethiye at all, you'll no doubt be familiar with its cobbled grid of streets, some of the restaurants that … [Read more...]
Turkish Street Food – Yengen Burger
June 15, 2012 16 Comments
Every Friday we post a Fethiye photo - a photo that shows a scene from anywhere in the general Fethiye area. So far, as with last week's Çalış canal photo, the pictures have been of actual scenery - but today is a little bit different. We do have a photo...but we're going foodie. A couple of … [Read more...]
Fethiye: The All New Yengen – It’s Kebab Time
May 29, 2012 12 Comments
There's no doubt that Fethiye is a town (or should that be 'boutique city'?) in transition. From the creation of a harbour where there were once reeds, to the building of a new Fethiye town square, to the pedestrianisation of the Dispanser area. All the change has spawned a number of new … [Read more...]
Turkish Food – Fethiye Honey
September 25, 2010 2 Comments
I wrote a comment to someone the other day stating that Fethiye wasn't really famous for any particular type of food - I am repeating what a lot of our Turkish friends say. And true, there isn't a Fethiye Kebab or a Fethiye Tost...but, slap my wrists... Anyone who knows Fethiye will recognise … [Read more...]
Fethiye’s Old Turkish Bath – A First Experience In The Hamam, Paspatur

After 12 years of umming and ahhing about whether I could handle a visit to the hamam, I finally made it to one on Saturday. I entered a sauna in a gym many moons ago and had to leave straight away because I just hated the heat, so I always thought, 'If I pay my cash and then have to leave because … [Read more...]
