Turkey's For Life
Fethiye, Turkish Food, Slow Travel Turkey
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 leave it …

A few weeks ago, we took advantage of the fact that the Müzekart had been made available to foreign residents in Turkey by shelling out 50 TL for a Müzekart+. And recently, we actually made use of it, showing it to the lady in the ticket booth amongst the ruins of Kayaköy. This year, entrance to …

Friday is once more upon us so it's time for another photo from the Fethiye region. Last week's photo was of a recent Fethiye sunset and this week, we're just a short trip across the bay, in Çalış - and we're here for a reason. It's something that is really exciting for those of us that care to be …
It's Friday and it's time for the last Fethiye photo for the month of March. A couple of weeks back, we had a photo of a view of Fethiye marina from the Karagözler - but the week before that, we were finally able to include an Ölüdeniz shot into the series. The photo is an almost aerial view of …

It's a question everyone asks: What's the weather like in Fethiye in _____? (Insert month). We all know July and August are scorchers on the Southwest coast of Turkey and rain or cloud is very rare. Spring and autumn are pleasant - our favourite time of year in fact - and winter can be …
When is the best time to visit the village of Kayaköy? Well if you're hiking from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz or walking to Af Kule, then for us, the absolute best time to be in the area is on a crispy, sunny, winter's day. All the better for photographs of the stop-you-in-your-tracks views. But how …
If you're familiar with the Fethiye region, you'll no doubt have heard of Fethiye, Çalış Beach, Ovacık, Hisarönü and Ölüdeniz. However, there is one area that we have (until now) neglected to mention. That's because, for some reason or other, we haven't walked down to that area in a long …
We found out an interesting piece of history about the Muğla region (Muğla is the area of Turkey stretching from the Bodrum peninsula in the far Southwest to just east of Fethiye) today. We can't speak for other towns and villages of Muğla but if you know Fethiye, you'll have probably seen these …

Wow, a hot one today. Even the arms are out. A few days ago, we wrote about the tell tale signs of the summer season starting in the Fethiye area. Well, as the weather in Fethiye was so beautiful today, we decided to go for a walk along Çalış Beach to Güven's Bar and the signs are now there for all …

A lovely Fethiye birthday in Deep Blue Bar last night and now looking forward to my Istanbul birthday tomorrow. Anyone would think we don't get out much with the way I'm going on about our little jaunt to Istanbul. We haven't actually been anywhere overnight since we went back to England last …
