About an hour’s drive from Fethiye, just west of Dalaman Airport and east of Marmaris, sits one of our favourite little towns, Dalyan. Whilst we knew of its existence and proximity to Fethiye, before we moved here in 1998, we’d never visited Dalyan. And when we did finally go a couple of years later, it …
Dubh Linn Irish Pub in Antalya’s old town Kaleiçi is just one of numerous places to park yourself and watch the world go by. 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 …
This is how it came to pass that we ended up staying in the rather elegant 1207 Boutique Hotel in the old town of Kaleiçi. This year’s trip to Antalya for the Runtalya event was a bit different. You know us; we’re happy in a small pension. ,s long as there’s a clean bed and …
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 tick. Rather than racing …
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 visit? When we were there recently, we …
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 traversed the …
We’re going for a little stroll along the Antalya city centre seafront to Konyaaltı Beach in this article. 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 …
Across the sheltered Mediterranean waters of the Kekova region, opposite the villages of Kaleköy (ancient city of Simena) and Kaleüçağız, lies Kekova Island sunken city. Kekova Island – The Sunken City The only way to reach the island of Kekova is by boat. And whatever your chosen vessel – gület, small boats, daily boat trip, …
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 of what looks …
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 from the North Pole with the bright red suit, big black boots and a fluffy white beard. He’s busy in Lapland for …
