Month Two of 2021 has come to an end. So it’s time to have a look at what’s been going on around Fethiye – and what we’ve been getting up to – with our monthly Fethiye news update. Despite the fact that there are still weekend and evening curfews, along with other Covid restrictions, Fethiye …
Welcome to our first Fethiye news roundup of 2021! Wonder if we’re starting as we mean to go on (and continuing as we usually do) by way of being a few days out of kilter. Because, here we are, bringing you news of January in Fethiye, when we are already a few days into the …
The month of November has been and gone, which can only mean one thing: another article to add to our ever growing collection of monthly Fethiye news updates. Not much preamble for you this month because we’ve just got such a lot to get through. So, without further ado… A Time For Remembrance November is …
Most of the article below was written before the weekend, on Friday afternoon. As I was coming to the end of writing it, terra firma all of a sudden didn’t feel so firm. And we, even in Fethiye, experienced a long earth tremor. Perhaps the longest one we’ve felt since moving to Turkey. We knew …
A long, hot summer. A long, hot summer of walks (and running) between Fethiye and Çalış Beach. It was too hot to walk much further.

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 …
Phewee, it’s been – and still is – a long hot summer. August was a scorcher. While we wilted in the heat, more flights started to arrive from different countries around Europe, so, despite the fact that a few hotels chose to remain closed for the rest of the season, summer season in Fethiye looks …
Another month behind us. So let’s have a look back at what’s been going on in Fethiye during the month of July. It’s certainly been a July like no other – that’s the case for many around the world right now – but our daily life ticks on in its quiet way. So much so …
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 …
June was the month where Turkey started the process of coming out of lockdown. A process that was never going to be easy, as other countries are also finding out. It’s going to be a long bumpy road. But we’ve all just got to keep pressing on, using our common sense. At least, that’s what …
