El Camino Hostel & Pub. It's the pub bit we're concentrating on in this post because we've been up to this rooftop terrace bar many times and it's a great place with a great view! For as long as we've known it, Fethiye's Karagözler has always managed to play host to a happy mix of local …

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 …

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 up …

There's been a definite running theme for us this summer - food! It all started in April/May in Italy where we spent eight days making sure we sampled as much Italian food as possible. We didn't make a bad job of it, either. We've eaten classic Turkish street food in Istanbul and here in …

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 …
We came across an interesting article the other day which gave us a little glimmer of hope for some of Fethiye's crumbling ruins. The article focused on the rock tombs of Dalyan and said that nanotechnology is going to be used to restore and protect the rock tombs from further erosion; the first …
