There are so many beautiful places you can head to as a day out from Fethiye, without even having to drive that far. We've just had friends here for their summer holiday. They suggested getting a car for the day and going for a little wander. Where to go... We knew they'd been in the Kaş and … [Read more...]

After a recent drive to the snow in the mountains around Kırkpınar, we wanted to show our friends the village of Üzümlü; further down the mountain, so much warmer, but still higher than Fethiye. The air is cooler but we still had enough daylight left to have a quick wander around before the sun went … [Read more...]

We're continuing a bit of a tale, here; the tale from when our friends were over for New Year - when we hired a car to enjoy the rare occurrences of sunshine that graced us at least for a couple of days while they were in Fethiye.

In a previous article, we wrote about another day trip from Fethiye; Sarıgerme Beach.

Day Trip From Fethiye – Sarıgerme Beach
November 5, 2014 4 Comments
In January 2011, we took a few winter photos of Sarıgerme Beach and, since that date, until recently, we'd neither looked at that blog post nor been back to Sarıgerme. When my dad was here in October, that changed. It changed because he'd been earwigging on the plane over to here and had heard a guy … [Read more...]

On Monday, our friends had a late flight from Dalaman airport back to the UK.

You may remember we … [Read more...]

In our previous post, we bade farewell to Meis for a while and said we hope to still go there again in the future on a day trip or overnight stay.

Arriving by ferry to the Dodecanese Greek island of Kastellorizo - or Meis, as it's known in Turkey - just fills you with that complete happy satisfaction that not all in the world is racing along and over-developed.
