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 …

Hotel Unique, Fethiye is an architectural delight! 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 …

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 …

A few days ago, we had another blogger visiting Fethiye. She was visiting the area for the weekend with family and was staying at Alesta Yacht Hotel along the Karagözler in the centre of Fethiye. We met up with Joy of My Traveling Joys back when we were in Istanbul in April so we wanted to catch …

After a busy time in the kitchen last week with our Turkish Food & Recipes Feature Week, it's time to get back to some sort of routine, for a short while at least. While we were cooking, we also found time to wander around Fethiye with camera - and we've always got a camera of some description …
