It might seem as though we’re late with our monthly news from Fethiye for January, but allow us to convince you otherwise. , We kicked off the new decade with a look back and look forward at the beginning of the year so that covered a few bases. As for the end of February Fethiye …
Our monthly Fethiye news articles seem to come around very quickly. But yet, today, sitting typing this article, I’m thinking back to the beginning of May and it seems like such a long time ago. Friends were here and it feels like an age since we saw them. All good, then, that life isn’t passing …
Lunch at Izela, Kayaköy. There’s a first time for everything, even if that first time has been a long time coming. If you know the Fethiye area and you’ve been to the village of Kayaköy, chances are, you know Izela Restaurant. Chances are, you’ve eaten there on more than one occasion, actually. Because Izela Restaurant …
We’ve been running a lot over winter – strange how it pushes other loves in your life into the background without you noticing. We were training for the Istanbul 10k in November and then the Runatolia event at the beginning of March in Antalya. Before we knew it, winter was done with and we hadn’t …

Since the world music concerts of the annual Fethiye International Culture & Arts Festival really started to take off, we’ve been given some really special memories by many of the musicians that have performed. And we feel privileged to have been able to witness planned shows as part of the festival programme. But, as always …
Where arts and culture are concerned it’s been a busy fortnight in the Fethiye area, and events are set to continue through this week too. A couple of weeks ago, it was the Kayaköy Cultural Connections Festival. And, on Saturday afternoon and into the evening, it was the turn of Kaya Village photography exhibitions, art …
In a town that is constantly growing, changing, evolving; where new eateries regularly appear on the scene, tempting foodies with designer interiors and increasingly innovative menus, we also fully appreciate – and perhaps rely upon – the comforting presence of places like Bülent’in Yeri… Bülent’in Yeri, Kayaköy Because, like barbecue restaurant, Cin Bal, Bülent’in Yeri …
We’ve been wanting to do a post on the sheer delight that is lamb tandır for a long time but I always forget to take a photo of it whenever we’re at Cin Bal in Kayaköy. As soon as the tandır arrives at the table, we all dive straight in there; testament to how good …
