Isn't it great when you get an unexpected, pleasant surprise? When you think you've seen all there is to see of an area...and then realise you haven't. Being that it's completely flat, the whole area of Çalış is perfect for people who just don't do hills and for those who enjoy pedalling around …

A few posts ago, we mentioned about going to Antalya at the beginning of March to take part in Runatolia - a 10k run. I've pounded the Fethiye running track all of five times now and my shins are sore - I'm not cut out for a life of athletics - so we decided a bit of cross-training was called …

What better in the cooler Fethiye temperatures than getting out there and going for good wander? We don't walk in the hills much in summer - it's just too hot - so when we do get out there, it always feels great. One of our favourite walks in the Fethiye area is the walk from Kayaköy to …

Hisarönü - known to our Fethiye Turkish friends as 'The Village.' If it's a summer weekend and the night out in Fethiye has gone so well that nobody wants it to end, there are usually two possible suggestions: 'Let's go for soup,' or, 'Let's go to the village.' The villages of Ovacık and Hisarönü …

Over the winter months, we've been saying that as soon as the season started, the weather had warmed up and Paspatur was fully awake after its winter semi-hibernation, we would do a post on 'Paspatur, Fethiye's Old Town.' Well, it's taken till now to get round to writing it for a few reasons; …
A very busy week last week. When there are friends galore visiting Fethiye and the logistics of meeting up / deciding what to do are getting a bit difficult, there's only one thing to do and that's arrange a boat trip. We wrote about the Göcek market boat trip a while back but the boat trip we did …

Wow! If you've never made it up to the ancient settlement of Cadianda (Kadyanda) and you like a bit of trekking, panoramic views over Fethiye and the Xanthos Valley, and the odd Roman ruin to boot, you've got to get yourself up there! Exploring The Cadianda Ruins (Kadyanda) We'd lived in Fethiye …

Until recently, shopping for clothes in Fethiye was very difficult for me. I gave up in the end and started to do rushed catch-up shopping whenever we were back in England. The reason it was difficult is because there wasn't a lot of choice in the shop department. And also, I haven't got the …

We love this photo. I took it when we walked along the (old) first part of the Lycian Way last March. People who've done the paragliding from the top of Babadağ will have seen higher views than this but as you're never gonna catch me with a parachute strapped to me (or a pilot for that matter), this …

One of our favourite leg stretches - it's not too far and not too strenuous - is a walk from Fethiye to Kayaköy (aka the ghost village). What better on a pleasant sunny day than to get that comfy footwear out and head off on one of the many walks around Fethiye. It's a mixture of tarmac road …
