Akyaka, on Turkey’s southern Aegean coast, is a real jewel of a town. We stumbled across it years ago, intending to visit for the day but ending up camping overnight in a rented tent on the forest campsite. Since then, we’d been full of good intentions to return to the beach resort. But it took …
This is our traditional Turkish menemen recipe! The first time we came to Fethiye on holiday, a new Turkish friend we’d met described one of his favourite Turkish breakfast recipes to us. A simple one-pan dish which he translated (inaccurately in our opinion) as ‘Turkish Omelette’. Cue the dreamy face that comes over most Turkish …
Wow, it feels like we always say the previous month passed us by so quickly – but August; seriously, it feels like a week ago that we did our July roundup of our Fethiye news. And here we are in September; summer’s twilight days. We do love September and we’re looking forward to the month …
Time for refreshing melon salad! What to eat? The temperatures are soaring, it’s humid, the appetite isn’t up to much. But you know you’ve got to replenish your weary body. And, if you’re anything like us and you love your food, you’d like to actually sit and enjoy putting those energy-giving calories back in! Thank …
Well, August has kind of crept up on us there while we’ve been out and about exploring different beaches around Fethiye, revisiting old favourites and taking ourselves off on a little weekend break in pretty Akyaka. Guess we’d better look back on what happened in the month of July, then, before August passes us by! …
If you stand in Fethiye, along the harbour – or along Çalış Beach – and look out into the bay, you will get the constantly changing view of Şövalye Island. We say ‘constantly changing’ because it seems you only need to walk a few metres and the shape of the island has completely changed. Long, …
Every great town deserves a great park. And now, after much anticipation, our town of Fethiye can proudly boast that facility. Şehit Fethi Bey Parkı was opened on 26th July 2018 and it’s a park that offers something for everyone; adults and kids alike. There’s a bit of quirkiness about it which reminds us of …
Once upon a time, there was a bay in Fethiye. It was a beautiful bay; perfect shape when viewed from on high as you walked around the Fethiye peninsula. Rocky promontory, encroaching pine forest, crystal clear water, horseshoe bay. Every time we looked down on Büyük Boncuklu Bay, it just looked so inviting. Büyük Boncuklu, …
Welcome to another round up of the month in Fethiye – goings on around town and a little bit about what we’ve been up to, as well. It’s been another bumper month and we’ve had – and still have – lots of friends over to keep us extra busy. Let’s get started… Fethiye Recreation Area …
Sometimes, you just get lucky! Very lucky, for us, on this occasion. A proper wow moment as we stepped out onto the balcony of our little apartment at Fora Apart Hotel in Datça. We’d just had three great nights in springtime Bodrum and made the leisurely ferry journey to our next destination. If you remember …
