Here’s a recipe title for you: Fırında Patatesli Kabak Mücveri. That’s what we’re making in this article. It’s a take on a classic dish of Turkish cuisine and translates to ‘oven baked potato and courgette fritters‘ recipe (or oven baked potato and zucchini fritters for our American readers). As far as we’re concerned, the reward …

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 …
Wow, well, we think it’s high time we had a little update about life in Fethiye, don’t you? We’re supposed to do monthly news updates but, as usual, at some point during the year, time runs away with us and all of a sudden, two months have passed us by. And, as you are no …

Perge is an ancient site of ruins in Turkey’s Antalya province. Just what is it with us and the centre of Antalya? Whenever we’re in this city, there’s always a little travel (mis)adventure where something goes slightly array. All good fun, nothing serious…but all the same… every single visit?
