Welcome to our (ir)regular monthly Fethiye news updates. We’re certainly no Fethiye local news agency. No. This section is for OUR news updates.
This is the category where you’ll find posts about what we’ve been up to. Any new constructions popping up, different local Fethiye bars and restaurants we’ve tried – and the many we frequent on a regular basis. It’s where you’ll also find news updates about our local football team, Fethiyespor.
Because we live in Fethiye, this is where you’ll also find our daily life news updates. What we’ve been up to on the blog – updates and social media. Turkish kitchen experiments and old faithful dishes we make time and again. Places we’ve visited when friends come over to see us – beach days and day trips from Fethiye. Not to mention making sure they experience our Fethiye must sees!
Local news from Fethiye on a personal level. That’s what you’ll find here. Enjoy!
Welcome to another roundup of news from life in Fethiye – the month that was August! And looking back, it’s been a long few weeks. Throughout the month, if anything catches my eye that I think might be useful for these articles, I make a note of them. Looking at the list before me, now, …
Phewee, that was a hot one! Happy and relieved to be typing this month’s monthly news roundup in still hot, but cooler, temperatures! A Scorcher Of A July So let’s start with lots of people’s favourite subject – talking about the weather. Much of July saw a heatwave. Not only for us in Fethiye but …
Hello from a very hot Fethiye! Yes, after a cool, wet and stormy springtime when it seemed as though summer was struggling to make an appearance, here it is all of a sudden! Announced itself almost overnight. No gradual acclimatisation process going on here, we can tell you – and that includes nighttime, too. Here …
Another month in the bag. The merry month of May is done and dusted. And we cruise on into June. But not without looking back on some news from Fethiye from the last four weeks, of course. A month that has seen two elections and the month when inci kefal (pearl mullet) leave the waters …
It’s (past) time for another Fethiye news update for the month of April. A bit late this month – but we do have the excuse of being in Istanbul towards the end of April and into the beginning of May. So lovely to be there again after a 5 year absence due to the pandemic …
And just like that, another month has passed. This is the March edition of our monthly news updates from life in Fethiye. Spring Is Springing… March is the month where nature reveals to us that winter is departing and making way for the arrival of spring. The mimosa trees are in full bloom as I …
Ooof! From New Year feelings of optimism and gearing up for the summer season ahead, to an almighty plunge into shock and despair. February 6th was the day we woke up from our comfortable slumber and began the morning routine – reaching to the bedside cabinet for phone and a scroll through the morning Twitter …
Everyone is heartbroken. You all know that Southern Turkey and Northern Syria were hit by a massive – catastrophic – earthquake on February 6th. Because it happened in the early hours, in the cities, towns and villages most people were home, sleeping as thousands of apartment blocks toppled. Those lucky enough to escape the buildings, …
Welcome to our first monthly Fethiye news update of 2023. January is the month when, in the UK at least, people start to think about where to spend their well earned break (or breaks) throughout the year. For many of you reading this article, we hope the Fethiye area – or the country at large …
It’s time for another monthly Fethiye news update! And we’re late again. But we’re late with this one for good reason. We’ve recently returned from our first trip to the UK in over ten years! It was a very quick trip to see family and friends. And we did take laptops back with us. But, …
