So, yet another month over with in Fethiye – and, as with April, it’s just flown by. Much has happened and we’ve done lots ourselves, too. So, as usual, there’s all sorts to catch up with on the blog. For now, though, let’s have a little summary of what’s been going on around the area …
From the castle at the top of the hill, we’d looked down across the bay to our next destination: Üçağız. We were on the final stop of the westward route of our gulet cruise along Turkey’s southern Lycian coast. Lazing in sheltered bays around the area known to sailors as Kekova Roads, we’d traversed the …
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.

Across the sheltered Mediterranean waters of the Kekova region, opposite the villages of Kaleköy (ancient city of Simena) and Kaleüçağız, lies Kekova Island sunken city. Kekova Island – The Sunken City The only way to reach the island of Kekova is by boat. And whatever your chosen vessel – gület, small boats, daily boat trip, …
Welcome to another of our little alternative and random news updates for life in February 2016 in Fethiye – and much of the talk has been of the weather.
