Once upon a time, there was a bay in Fethiye. It was a beautiful bay; perfect shape when viewed from on high as you walked around the Fethiye peninsula. Rocky promontory, encroaching pine forest, crystal clear water, horseshoe bay. Every time we looked down on Büyük Boncuklu Bay, it just looked so inviting. Büyük Boncuklu, …
Welcome to this month’s random news from daily life in Fethiye. All those little goings on that don’t merit their own blog post. Little happenings and repeat visits to places – they get mentions on social media but would go missed on the blog if it wasn’t for this section. And it’s been super busy. …
Off we went to Help Beach and Yacht Club. What a great day we had! We need to tell you that there’s yet another new addition to the Fethiye beach scene. And, as with all newcomers, we were excited and just had to go and check it out. But we had to bide our time. …
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, …

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. It’s just that, right now, anyone and everyone who lives in coastal areas around Turkish shores is talking about the weather. In our last blogpost about the weather in Fethiye, we were …
Kabak has been a part of our life for a long time. But it’s definitely fair to say that, since around 2012, the area’s kind of taken hold of us. We’ve fallen for it in an even bigger way. If we’re to look back to try and pinpoint why we’ve got such an affection for …
So there we were, enjoying a birthday break with friends by way of a peaceful, chilled out overnight stay at the Olive Garden in Kabak. We’d pencilled in a hike down to the beach this time so that we could visit the brand new camp of someone we know – we’re nosey, like that. And, …
There’s a few places we like to take friends to visit along Çalış Beach, and these are also places we like to visit randomly whenever the mood takes us. Fethiye Surf Centre has been a constant of our time around those parts. Before other places popped up, we used to go to that area with …
