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 … [Read more...]

Fethiye Hotels: The All New Hotel Unique – An Urban Hideaway
May 28, 2014 12 Comments
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 … [Read more...]

January 27, 2014 6 Comments
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.

Fethiye: Well Helloooo Autumn, What Took You So Long? Hoş Geldin!
October 2, 2013 2 Comments
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.
