Around ten years ago, a new seafood restaurant opened in Fethiye. It was along what was then the new harbour. But there was a main road and other restaurants between Girida Restaurant and the sea. Nevertheless, it captured the attention of the people of Fethiye. Its tables were packed on a …

For as long as we've known it, Fethiye's Karagözler has always managed to play host to a happy mix of local dwellings (lots of them are very swanky local dwellings, too, we might add), small hotels of the more luxurious variety, mid-priced hotels and backpacker hostels where travellers happily share …

Throughout the winter of 2013/14, we watched a hotel being built in an impossibly small space, in a cliff face, right in the middle of Fethiye. During that time, our opinions went from the 'What the...?' end of the spectrum to the 'Well, just wow,' end of the spectrum. Hotel Unique, Fethiye is an …

Something a bit different for 2014 for the blog. There are lots of goings on in Fethiye - and in our life - that either never make it into a post or we have to squash them in somewhere at the expense of another post. So we've decided, once a month...or so...(in our usual haphazard way) we'll put …

Favourite time of year in Fethiye; autumn. Usually, at some point through September we'll have some sort of downpour that clears the air and, even though it's still hot weather, there's a refreshing breeze and the air is clear. The downpour never came. Every day, the weather forecast displayed highs …

If you read this blog often, you'll know that we've been keenly following the restoration of Fethiye's ancient Telmessos Theatre. Last September marked the beginning of those restorations so, as we're just a few days short of one year on, we thought we'd do a 12 month update. Because this is …

Regular readers will know that for the last couple of summers, we've spent quite a bit of time at the Yacht Classic Hotel along the Karagözler in Fethiye. Towards the end of summer 2012, stories started to be heard that the land next to the hotel would be used to extend the grounds and a new pool …

It's got to be said that we feel very privileged to be able to watch the developments around the excavation and restoration of an ancient theatre so close to where we live. Of course, we're alluding to Fethiye's Telmessos theatre. Back in September of this year, the road passing the site was …

Mooching about around Fethiye boatyard is a regular pastime for us. We often stroll along the Karagözler, going nowhere in particular, and find ourselves photographing the gülets, daytrip boats and luxury yachts that have come in for repair and general maintenance. It's such an interesting …
