Incir Fethiye. We finally made it there and it definitely didn’t disappoint! A few years ago, Incir (meaning Fig) opened its doors in the village of Kayaköy and we were immediately excited by it. A restaurant serving up traditional dishes with a modern twist and using only the finest seasonal produce. Perfect! A concept after …
Can Çekti is the subject of this review. A small – but packed with flavours – eatery nestled in a tight row of other unassuming foodie places. ‘Antep’ten Gelen Lezzetler,’ is their tagline. ‘Flavours From (Gazi)antep.’ But we’re not in Gaziantep. We’re in Fethiye. And we’re on the street that is becoming a bit of …
Paşa Fırını is one of many recent additions to Fethiye’s eating and drinking scene. And one of many recent additions to the Dispanser area of town. Paşa Fırını is not to be confused with Paşa Kebap in the centre of town. No, these two places could not be more different! Whilst the latter specialises in …
It’s always a comfort to know that places like Nefis Pide Kordon are still holding their own amongst the vast number of eateries around the Fethiye area. We love the more upmarket dedicated seafood restaurants like Girida Port and Çalış Balıkçısı. And steak houses like Çarıklı Et Restaurant. They’re our special occasion places. And we …
It’s high time we wrote about Motto! It’s strange, really. All the time we’ve been doing this blog, we’ve written about places where we like to eat and drink around Fethiye and surroundings. Some of these places are regulars. Others are places we might drop into once or twice a year. But there are some …
The arrival of Çalış Balıkçısı seafood restaurant was very welcome! It meant we could enjoy that leisurely seafood meze dining experience in a local beachside setting. From Fethiye fish market to Girida Port – and various other specialist restaurants where we could enjoy the fruits of the sea – the destination was always Fethiye centre. …
Around ten years ago, a new seafood restaurant opened in Fethiye. It was along what was then the new harbour. But there was a main road and other restaurants between Girida Restaurant and the sea. Nevertheless, it captured the attention of the people of Fethiye. Its tables were packed on a nightly basis. Eventually, you …
We say ‘burst of sunshine’ because BüyükEv Pub & Kitchen sits on 96 Sokak right in the centre of Fethiye. In 2020, in a bid to smarten things up a little and attract more shoppers to the street, the belediye (local council) brought 96 Sokak right into the 2020s with colour scheme to match. The …
When Fethiye’s new town square (Beşkaza Meydanı) and adjoining Uğur Mumcu Park were being built, that also meant a bit of a facelift for that stretch of the harbour, too. We got benches framed with vibrant bougainvillea, a feature bridge, new paving stones – and a row of little kiosks that would serve snacks and …
The Çalış Seafood Products Coop already has a more affectionate nickname for us; the Fishermen’s Place. It rolls off the tongue easily and is fitting. We go for a walk on an almost daily basis. Sometimes into Fethiye. Sometimes into Çalış and along the beach. Over the winter of 2019-20, our walk to Çalış was …
