Turkey's For Life
Fethiye, Turkish Food, Slow Travel Turkey
This is the time of year where we usually write the article that takes a look back through all of the highlights of the 12 months that have passed. We're still going to do that. Because, amongst all the upheaval caused by this virus throughout most of 2020, we can still pluck out some positives. …

What's the end of a year without a little bit of reminiscing, eh? A look back at what has passed. And 2018 has been a packed 365 days for us. As always, that is reflected through the blog - life in Fethiye, life in the kitchen (and various eateries, of course) and a healthy sprinkling of travels, …

We're at that time of year again where, before we go careering headlong into a whole new year that's full of good intentions, resolutions and new goals, we take a look back at the year that's passed. Well, what's December, eh, without a few minutes to sit back and take stock? Have We Turned A …

Things are a bit different for 2013. At this time of year, we usually do three separate blog posts which highlight our year in Turkish food, our year in travelling Turkey and, of course, not forgetting, our year in Fethiye. This year, all of those are being brought together in one post...well, we've …
2012 has been a bit different to previous years for us in that we've spent our first twelve months with Turkish residency. This has meant we haven't done any of our regular day trips to Meis so we had a bit of spare travel cash to play with to go somewhere a bit different. Let's have a look at some …

Yesterday evening and through the night, Fethiye had its first, long awaited, late summer rain. Heavy skies and humidity preceded it and we were grateful to wake up this morning to flat calm sea, views of the hills and, more importantly, a bit of fresh air. We're starting to wind down now after …

We're bar people. You'll know that, anyway, if you read this blog on a regular basis... Wherever we are, we always find ourselves a little place; a haven where we can just sit, rest, feel comfortable with our surroundings, not worry about the outside world. We're no strangers to a few beers - we …
