What’s this, then? Two Fethiye monthly news updates in two months? Aren’t we on a roll, eh? Well, there’s always so much to tell you, so, this last month, we’ve even kept some little notes then we don’t forget anything. It’s all go, you see. All the usual random stuff of what we’ve been up …
This is how we came to produce our little Turkish breakfast sweet treat, puff pastry strawberry tart. Or, to give it a Turkish name, çilekli milföy tatlısı. Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? Well, actually, this is the story of a plan that didn’t come together. But then, from that, a …
Well, we’ve not had one of our random Fethiye updates for a while, have we? Certainly not monthly, anyway! That’s life, isn’t it? I started out 2017 with a mental note to self. A New Year’s Resolution. Make sure the monthly Fethiye news update goes out every month. And oh, look. Here we are, in …
One of our favourite places to while away a bit of time in Antalya is Karaalioğlu Park (pronunciation: Kara-ali-oh-loo). The city centre urban park has stupendous views over the Mediterranean Sea with the unique backdrop of the stunning Beydağları mountain range. The more we visit the southern Mediterranean city of Antalya, the more we love …
Sultan’s Aqua City in Çalış is what we’re all about for today’s post. Because, you see, we’re at that time of year again. The trickle begins around January and then picks up pace during the spring.

Pasties and sausage rolls were a staple, growing up. …
Let’s consider the humble gözleme. Why? Well, have you ever met anyone who isn’t instantly grateful for its entrance into their life? We love the stuff and lots of others agree with us! Turkish food is oft ranked by experts as one of the world’s top three cuisines – no arguments from these two biased …
It’s been a relatively short career, so far, our time at Sarge’s Place in Çalış. It’s not the sort of place we’d go to usually. Well, we don’t live in that area. And, if we are around there, it’s usually to go Sunday food shopping at the market, followed by a hello and a catch …
Guacamole – not Turkish food at all. Mexican, in fact. But in the winter months, on the fruit and veg stalls around Fethiye fish market, the big Tuesday market and the Sunday market in Çalış, avocados are more prevalent than usual and they are lovely and ripe! And soft, ripe avocados make for a perfect …
