So there we were, sat in Cafe Park Teras, and we were just chatting to owner, Tayfun, about different places we like to eat around Fethiye. “Köfteci İmadettin,” says Tayfun. “Where?” “Köfteci İmade… Don’t tell me you’ve never heard of Köfteci İmadettin.” “Nope. A new one on us.” “Köfteci İmadettin. Can’t believe you don’t know …

Yoğurtlu Kozlenmiş Karnabahar – or roasted cauliflower with yoghurt sauce to those of us communicating in the English language. This Turkish roasted cauliflower recipe is so easy and tasty – a winner of a side dish, as a meze or as a standalone snack, too. Because, it’s all very well feasting your eyes upon all …

Kahve Dünyası (Coffee World) is Turkey’s addition to the world of international coffee shop chains. And when Fethiye’s first shopping centre, Erasta AVM, was built a Kahve Dünyası branch was included in the list of stores. It’s proved to be a popular choice. Kahve Dünyası, Fethiye During the early ’90s (and possibly the ’80s – …

Over the years, we’ve watched the Çalış Christmas Fair change and grow (and taken many Christmas Fair photos in the process). Weather permitting, this annual event is always a huge success, bringing thousands of people out along the beach promenade to shop, eat and drink. And for those people with kids, they’re here to see …

Hmm, we’re a tad late with our November roundup of what’s been happening in Fethiye – and as December is…well, it’s December isn’t it and anything can happen. Planning for Christmas and New Year, doing normal life in between; December is always a month where anything goes, really, and we just fly through it. So …

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 …
