Let’s get away from it all with a visit to Nif village in the highlands close to Fethiye… The Muğla Province, of which Fethiye is a part, is more famously known internationally for being at the heart of Turkeys Turquoise Coast. It is, however, a spectacular coastline that is flanked by rugged mountains and lush …
***Update February 2024 – Fethiye Museum is currently closed – but the understanding is that it will reopen at a new location in the future*** If you didn’t already know our town of Fethiye has a museum, you could go for years visiting the area and never come across the unassuming premises. Tucked away on …
Nothing stays still for long in the Fethiye area. That includes Karataş Beach. At the moment, the coastline of Çiftlik and beyond, further west from Çalış Beach, is seeing much development by way of the construction of huge hotel complexes. We’re not fans of those, preferring instead the slower, more low key, more compact way …
Known to locals as Yarımada (Half Island) , Fethiye Peninsula is a forested promontory dotted with bays offering stunning views and services ranging from the simple to the sophisticated. It also happens to be blessed with an undulating road which circles the whole perimeter of the peninsula. And that means we can do the Fethiye …
This is the story of our little trip over to Fethiye’s Şövalye Island Restaurant and Beach… Articles like this one are always tough. The type of post where you just want to show the beauty of somewhere with photo after photo. But, in the end, you’ve got to get a bit ruthless and choose the …
Every great town deserves a great park. And now, after much anticipation, our town of Fethiye can proudly boast that facility. Şehit Fethi Bey Parkı was opened on 26th July 2018 and it’s a park that offers something for everyone; adults and kids alike. There’s a bit of quirkiness about it which reminds us of …
Once upon a time, there was a bay in Fethiye. It was a beautiful bay; perfect shape when viewed from on high as you walked around the Fethiye peninsula. Rocky promontory, encroaching pine forest, crystal clear water, horseshoe bay. Every time we looked down on Büyük Boncuklu Bay, it just looked so inviting. Büyük Boncuklu, …
Hiking from Ovacık to Faralya along the Lycian Way long distance footpath. It was a weekend of doing something new. And doing activities we’d been meaning to repeat for some time but never got around to. The ‘something new,’ was eating lunch at Izela in the village of Kayaköy. The repeated activities were additions to …
We’ve been running a lot over winter – strange how it pushes other loves in your life into the background without you noticing. We were training for the Istanbul 10k in November and then the Runtalya marathon event at the beginning of March in Antalya. Before we knew it, winter was done with and we …
We’ve stayed at various camps in Faralya and Kabak over the years, and, this time, it was the turn of Full Moon Camp… Life’s little traditions. For my birthday, we always go to Antalya. It’s round about the same time as Runtalya so that tradition has happened by default. For Barry’s birthday, it’s an escape …
