Yoğurtlu Kozlenmiş Karnabahar – or roasted cauliflower with yoghurt sauce to those of us communicating in the English language. This Turkish roasted cauliflower recipe is so easy and tasty – a winner of a side dish, as a meze or as a standalone snack, too. Because, it’s all very well feasting your eyes upon all …
Kahve Dünyası (Coffee World) is Turkey’s addition to the world of international coffee shop chains. And when Fethiye’s first shopping centre, Erasta AVM, was built a Kahve Dünyası branch was included in the list of stores. It’s proved to be a popular choice.

Over the years, we’ve watched the Çalış Christmas Fair change and grow (and taken many Christmas Fair photos in the process). Weather permitting, this annual event is always a huge success, bringing thousands of people out along the beach promenade to shop, eat and drink.

In a previous article, we wrote about another day trip from Fethiye; Sarıgerme Beach. Well, if you’re anything like us and you start to feel a bit restless once you’ve finished admiring the beach scenery, you need somewhere to move on to. Sarıgerme is part of Ortaca and just a tad further along the D400 …
In January 2011, we took a few winter photos of Sarıgerme Beach and, since that date, until recently, we’d neither looked at that blog post nor been back to Sarıgerme. When my dad was here in October, that changed. It changed because he’d been earwigging on the plane over to here and had heard a …
