Turkey's For Life
Fethiye, Turkish Food, Slow Travel Turkey
Achingly pretty, slightly bohemian, quietly confident; the small town of Kaş on the south coast of Turkey is all of those things and more besides. We fell in love with Kaş the first time we visited in the late 1990s. And that has never left us. A pretty harbour, cobbled streets and alleyways, …

It's always a tough one, deciding whether or not to write about bars and restaurants we visit when we're elsewhere in Turkey. Nice to offer tips to you, should you go to that place, but the reality is, any of these eateries and watering holes could close down and we'd have no idea about it. Places …

This year's trip to Antalya for the Runatolia event was a bit different. You know us; we're happy in a small pension. As long as there's a clean bed and a shower, we're good to go. The less spent on accommodation, the more we have for playing out. So, this is how it came to pass that we ended up …

The more we visit the southern Mediterranean city of Antalya, the more we love it. That's the beauty of slow travel. We get more of a feel for what makes a place tick. Rather than racing around, ticking places off in a 'been there, done that, time to move on' fashion, you get to sink yourself into a …

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? When we were there recently, we managed two such (mis)adventures …

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 sunken city of Kekova. We'd swam in the clear waters at Tersane. And, of course, we'd also realised …

We're going for a little stroll along the Antalya city centre seafront in this blog post. And there's no rush. How long it takes you to complete this journey depends on how fast you walk, whether or not you want to detour off down to the old harbour (don't worry, there's a lift with views) to look …

We've cheated a little bit with our tales from our week-long blue cruise on a gulet because we changed the order a tad. So far, on this cruise, we've explored ancient Phaselis, we were entranced by the beach and mysterious ruins of Olympos, we've taken a trip to Lycian and Roman Myra and visited the …

We want to tell you the story of our Simena Kaleköy experience in this post. About that happy, gleeful feeling that takes over your body when you've found a little corner of perfection. Have you ever looked at postcards, online photos or official tourist board posters and been faced with a vision …
