And close your eyes…and take a biiiig, deep breath, taking in that lovely breath of the proverbial fresh air that makes you feel life is good. Because we all need a breath of fresh air from time to time…and a little corner of Fethiye just got one – well, we think so, anyway. Here’s a …
We’re always playing around with different meze recipes just because it’s a great way to eat. The meze table is a social thing, even when it’s just the two of us – and even if we’re just talking about the food we’ve made. Recently, we made a new addition to our meze menu and, although …
Brussels sprouts are no longer that unwanted, yet essential, side of veg on your Christmas dinner plate. If you haven’t discovered roasted Brussels sprouts, read on! “In your face, Brussels sprouts!” Upon conquering them, that pretty much summed up the feeling when eating them. They were the final frontier of vegetables we just didn’t like …
In a previous article, we wrote about another day trip from Fethiye; Sarıgerme Beach. Well, if you’re anything like us and you start to feel a bit restless once you’ve finished admiring the beach scenery, you need somewhere to move on to. Sarıgerme is part of Ortaca and just a tad further along the D400 …
In January 2011, we took a few winter photos of Sarıgerme Beach and, since that date, until recently, we’d neither looked at that blog post nor been back to Sarıgerme. When my dad was here in October, that changed. It changed because he’d been earwigging on the plane over to here and had heard a …

Wow, the end of yet another month! Where does the time go? We probably start off these monthly updates in much the same way…but the days do pass so quickly at the moment. We thought, at the end of our September Fethiye roundup, that things would slow down a little in October but that was …
As it was birthdays we were out for (and because dad was paying), we decided to give Mancero Kitchen a try for the first time. When you move to another country, family birthdays and Christmases become events celebrated when you’re together again for that short period of time. Yeah, you can post Turkish Christmas gifts …
Really? September 2014 has been and gone? And now we’re going to look back on our month in Fethiye and tell you all about it are we? Wow, what a whirlwind. Let me be completely honest here; I’ve just sat for the last hour or so going through photos from this month just to jog …
Well, hasn’t this turned out to be a Babadağ mini series! First of all, we wrote about why we came to be up on top of this fabulous mountain in the first place; there was a performance up there as part of the Fethiye Classical Music Festival in memory of Benyamin Sönmez. But we couldn’t …
