Çalış Beach in winter always interests us because you get the odd business or two that seem much more lively in the daytime than they do in the busy summer season. Yeah, we know it's the change in weather and all that but you just get used to seeing quiet day times. Then, all of a sudden, there's … [Read more...]

February 2, 2015 2 Comments
Just in case you go thinking we've got a bit of a weather obsession at the moment, we've not. Well, not really, anyway.

Over the years, we've watched the Çalış Christmas Fair change and grow (and taken many Christmas Fair photos in the process) and yesterday, the rains that had been forecast held off - it even got hot and sunny at one point - and the promenade along Çalış Beach was packed with both stalls and … [Read more...]

Çalış Beach Restaurant – Indian and More
June 21, 2013 5 Comments
We were beginning to get a bit paranoid. Paranoid that whenever we wrote about somewhere good to eat (wherever we are in Turkey, but particularly in Fethiye) we were putting the kiss of death onto the place. One or two of the restaurants or cafes we have written about in the past have, unfortunately … [Read more...]

September 17, 2012 7 Comments
Two years ago, we wrote about The Tents at Çalış Beach. Well, that's just what we call them, but their full, correct name is actually Fethiye Yörük Çadırları (Fethiye Nomad Tents).

We'd had … [Read more...]

Fethiye Storms – The Aftermath
December 17, 2010 17 Comments
I know there are horrendous storms that affect certain parts of the world on a regular basis and last night's storm in Fethiye would probably look like a mere gust of wind in comparison to those, but for this area of the Southwest Turkish coast, the storm was pretty significant. Thunder, lightening, … [Read more...]
