After the Çalış sunset falls we head to the far end of the beach to The

Ahh, the famous Fethiye boat trips. We can’t write about all of them in one post or else we’ll be writing all day and anyone reading this will become either very bored or completely overwhelmed with too much information. Basically, if you want to do one of the public boat trips from Fethiye, there are …

My dad has been out for a visit and he returned to the UK yesterday. Over the years, we’ve been everywhere we can think of that a day trip from Fethiye allows with my dad and so when he comes now, we leave it to him to choose. He can either have a chill week …
