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 …
Sultan’s Aqua City in Çalış is what we’re all about for today’s post. Because, you see, we’re at that time of year again. The trickle begins around January and then picks up pace during the spring. I’m talking about those messages you get from friends when you live in another country; especially in a town …
Aqua parks: what’s your take on them? We’ve just been reading some reviews of Ölüdeniz Water World Aquapark. One person wrote, “Who doesn’t love an aqua park?” Errm, is it just me, then, who looks up at water slides and gets an uneasy queasy feeling? There’s a bit of longing there, too, of course. I …
We had friends here recently and when we suggested doing something…and then they suggested going to Kabak…happy days! This time, our overnight stay was at Tree Houses, Kabak. If you follow this blog a lot, you’ll know we’re big fans of Kabak Koyu. A place to go and chill out away from the rest of …
We all have our favourites. And a recent new addition to our favourites list is Karaot Beach in the village of Yanıklar, just outside Fethiye, off the D400. Whether it’s for sunbathing, taking a morning or evening walk – or just for standing and admiring the view, most of us love a good beach. And, …
We all know that when it comes to holidays and travel, Fethiye is very much associated with sunshine, hot weather and the great outdoors. But sometimes, it does rain! Indeed, when you see various tips about how to entertain yourself whilst you’re in Fethiye, most of these tips will take you off to local beaches, …
In our last article about Babadağ in Ölüdeniz, we wrote about the event that took us up there; the live music performance as part of the Fethiye Classical Music Festival in memory of cellist, Benyamin Sönmez. There can’t be many more perfect settings for live music than the top of the Fethiye area’s highest mountain; …
A couple of weeks back, while we were on the way back from our little overnight stay at Chakra Beach in Kabak, we decided to get off the dolmuş in Ölüdeniz, just for a wander around and to check in with a few people we’d not seen in a while. As we strolled along the …
Kabak has been a part of our life for a long time. But it’s definitely fair to say that, since around 2012, the area’s kind of taken hold of us. We’ve fallen for it in an even bigger way. If we’re to look back to try and pinpoint why we’ve got such an affection for …
