One of our favourite places to while away a bit of time in Antalya is Karaalioğlu Park. (Pronunciation: Kara-ali-oh-loo) 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 …

Perge is an ancient site of ruins in Turkey's Antalya province. 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 …

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 …

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 …

Father Christmas, Santa Claus, St. Nicholas - whatever name we assign to him (and in the UK, we do fluctuate), we all know who he is, don't we? He's that big jolly man in the bright red suit, big black boots and a fluffy white beard. He's busy in Lapland for most of the year, getting the toys …

Unlike our arrival at the ruins of Phaselis, there was no mistaking our approach to Olympos. We were sat right at the front of the boat on our gület cruise and had sailed by all manner of all-inclusive resorts lining the beaches of Tekirova. Now, after a stretch of green-cliffed coastline, a …

The engines of the gület slowed to a steady purr as we pulled into the natural sweeping harbour. Pine trees and the sweep of a sandy beach greeted us as the chains rankled. The anchor dropped for the first time on our blue cruise from Kemer to Kekova and back again. "Phaselis," said our deck …
