These days, the D400 is wide and forgiving. (Free) tunnels cut out the higher mountain roads, the tarmac is smooth in most places. And, if you give yourself lots of time, there are fabulous detours you can take, like this one down to the beach at Adrasan Koyu (Adrasan Bay). In our previous post, we …
There are many cities and regions in Turkey that are famous for particular recipes or foods – and Antalya is no exception to the case. And if you’re in the city centre, a visit to Topçu Kebap is very rewarding! We’re there most years for the Runtalya Marathon event so we get to enjoy this …
Just over an hour’s drive, southeast from where we live in Fethiye, sits one of the prettiest places along the Turkish Turquoise Coast; Kalkan. Lapped by the dazzlingly clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, Kalkan old town – and the modern world behind it – climb up the (outrageously) steep hillside that rises from those …
What makes Antalya Museum a memorable museum? Well, for us, it’s not just the collections they have in the building. We’ve been to Istanbul Archaeological Museum in the past – one of the finest collections in the world, we’re told – and we’ll be honest and tell you we got bored eventually. That’s a place …
And so it came to pass that Barry and Julia found themselves with the opportunity to stay in a seafront room of Gardenia Boutique Hotel in Kaş. We do love Kaş! But you know us; we’ll grab a hostel or pension wherever we go. As long as it’s got a clean bed to sleep in, …
hHave you ever been somewhere countless times and you think you’ve seen all there is to see…but then one day, you just carry on along the road to see where it goes and a whole new perspective on the place reveals itself? That’s what happened to us back in April when we went for a …
Over the last few years, the small town of Kaş has become increasingly famous for its beaches. And two local favourites are Little Pebble Beach (Küçük Çakıl Plajı) and Big Pebble Beach (Büyük Çakıl Plajı). When we think of Kaş it’s usually the bougainvillea-covered narrow streets of the old town that spring to mind. And …
Antiphellos Theatre was first on our list of little explorations for the day… Over past years, because of going backwards and forwards to the Greek island of Meis (Kastellorizo) to renew our visas, poor old Kaş had become no more of a stop off point for us. It was a few years since we’d spent …
Mountains, Mediterranean, twists and turns, small villages and towns, Roman and Lycian archaeological sites galore. And fabulous bays like Kaputaş Beach. Regular readers will know we have a bit of an obsession with the D400 road that runs along the length of the southern coast of Turkey. Anyone who has driven along it will know …
We love the Antalya sculptures which you can find dotted all over the city. People who go to the Southern Turkish city of Antalya inevitably come away with memories of wandering around and getting lost in the old city of Kaleiçi. Or passing through the castle walls via Hadrian’s Gate (Üç Kapı) and enjoying views …
