In an ever changing Fethiye, Deep Blue Bar in the old town of Paspatur, has been a constant for over 25 years. Deep Blue Bar, Fethiye The local Fethiye bar and restaurant scene is constantly evolving. And the pace of change has certainly quickened as the 2020s have progressed. But Deep Blue Bar has remained …
Wow, these monthly Fethiye updates seem to come round quickly. So it’s almost the end of March and Spring has definitely sprung. Gardens are being planted up, bars and restaurants that have been closed for the winter are being cleaned and painted. And the usual Fethiye sounds of March ring in your ears wherever you …
Last month, we started a new series on the blog where we’ll do a little round up of random goings on that are taking place around Fethiye – those things that kind of all crumple together and wouldn’t otherwise make it into a blog post, but they still give you a picture of daily life. …

I’ll hold my hands up; I’ve developed a little obsession with our local duck population in Fethiye. Even Barry lets out a little, “Aww,” when we walk past them. So hopefully, these little animals are bringing as much joy to the other passersby as they are to us. (Ahh, the simple things in life, eh?) …
If you know anything about Turkey at all, you’ll know that yesterday was the 90th anniversary of the declaration of the Republic of Turkey (Cumhuriyet Bayramı – Republic Day). Not that most Turks need much excuse to openly display their national pride, but Cumhuriyet Bayramı is a day of loud and proud unabashed flag waving, …
We were beginning to get a bit paranoid. Paranoid that whenever we wrote about somewhere good to eat (wherever we are in Turkey, but particularly in Fethiye) we were putting the kiss of death onto the place. One or two of the restaurants or cafes we have written about in the past have, unfortunately – …
Regular readers will know that for the last couple of summers, we’ve spent quite a bit of time at the Yacht Classic Hotel along the Karagözler in Fethiye. Towards the end of summer 2012, stories started to be heard that the land next to the hotel would be used to extend the grounds. And a …
