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 …
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 …
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.

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 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 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, …
Another month passed. Just like that! And October has been jam packed with events around Fethiye. Usual daily life has also continued – and slowed right down, too. Friends who were here on holiday returned to the UK after the second week of the month. And we’ve returned to some sort of daily normality. That …
Either side of the hot summer months, the Fethiye area springs into action with a raft of local events. The Benyamin Sönmez Classical Music Festival is one such event. Who Was Benyamin Sönmez?
