Aqua parks: what’s your take on them? We’ve just been reading some reviews of Ölüdeniz Water World Aquapark. One person wrote, “Who doesn’t love an aqua park?” Errm, is it just me, then, who looks up at water slides and gets an uneasy queasy feeling? There’s a bit of longing there, too, of course. I …
Wow, well, we think it’s high time we had a little update about life in Fethiye, don’t you? We’re supposed to do monthly news updates but, as usual, at some point during the year, time runs away with us and all of a sudden, two months have passed us by. And, as you are no …
Mooching around Fethiye hotels is one of our favourite pastimes.

We were on the final stop of the westward route of our gulet cruise along Turkey’s southern Lycian coast. Lazing in sheltered bays around the area known to sailors as Kekova Roads, we’d traversed the …
We all have our favourites. And a recent new addition to our favourites list is Karaot Beach in the village of Yanıklar, just outside Fethiye, off the D400. Whether it’s for sunbathing, taking a morning or evening walk – or just for standing and admiring the view, most of us love a good beach. And, …
Hmm, where did April 2016 go, eh? In April, we wen to Bodrum for a few days for the Bodrum Global Run and my dad also came over to Fethiye for a week for his birthday. He’s now left. And, all of a sudden, April is done and dusted. So let’s collect a few thoughts …
We’re going for a little stroll along the Antalya city centre seafront to Konyaaltı Beach in this article. And there’s no rush. How long it takes you to complete this journey depends on how fast you walk, whether or not you want to detour off down to the old harbour (don’t worry, there’s a lift …
