Wow, the end of yet another month! Where does the time go? We probably start off these monthly updates in much the same way…but the days do pass so quickly at the moment. We thought, at the end of our September Fethiye roundup, that things would slow down a little in October but that was …
As it was birthdays we were out for (and because dad was paying), we decided to give Mancero Kitchen a try for the first time. When you move to another country, family birthdays and Christmases become events celebrated when you’re together again for that short period of time. Yeah, you can post Turkish Christmas gifts …
Really? September 2014 has been and gone? And now we’re going to look back on our month in Fethiye and tell you all about it are we? Wow, what a whirlwind. Let me be completely honest here; I’ve just sat for the last hour or so going through photos from this month just to jog …
Well, hasn’t this turned out to be a Babadağ mini series! First of all, we wrote about why we came to be up on top of this fabulous mountain in the first place; there was a performance up there as part of the Fethiye Classical Music Festival in memory of Benyamin Sönmez. But we couldn’t …
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.

“Helllo, helllo.” Giggles follow and we’re really not sure which little person down below us in the school yard is saying it – because now, all their heads are down and they’re scurrying off. This is the village of Doğansu, close to the town of Patnos in Ağrı, East Turkey. Some of the friends we …
Today, 9th September, is the day that Izmir commemorates Independence Day . So, as we’re thinking all things Izmir, and trying to work out when we can fit in a little return visit some time in the not-too-distant future, we thought we’d have a look back at previous visits… Because Izmir is a city that …
Tourism posters for Turkey; we’ve all seen them: Ölüdeniz from above with its deserted lagoon and golden sands, the pristine white travertines of Pamukkale and not a soul to be seen. The Library of Celsus at Ephesus and not a soul to be seen. Hot air balloons gliding silently over the enchanting rock formations of …
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 …
Wow, don’t we just make a fabulous job of getting side tracked on this blog! One minute we’re taking you to East Turkey, the next minute we’re eating meze at a restaurant in Dalyan and allowing our addiction to Kabak to take hold. And that’s in between writing about daily life in Fethiye – such …
