Turkey's For Life
Fethiye, Turkish Food, Slow Travel Turkey
Back in March of this year, we were in Antalya for Runatolia, a running event that Barry took part in. If you followed the posts, you'll know that we took a hire car with us. And, on the way back, because we wanted to see the ruins of ancient Myra again, we did a mini D400 coastal road trip rather …

In our previous post, we took you on a road trip along the coastal D400 road from Antalya to Fethiye. For the driver, it's a road that continually gives - and all it asks in return is that you take it easy, enjoy the amazing views, take in the layer-upon-layer of history...and just take your time on …

Antalya: to drive or not to drive; that is the question. Well, we're big fans of public transport in Turkey and Fethiye to Antalya by bus (and vice versa) is a perfectly simple (and cheap) exercise. But when we went to Antalya in March we decided to take a hire car with us so we could drive back …

Budget's the name of the game when ever we go away anywhere - and recently, when we were in Antalya for Runatolia, we again went on an online hunt for budget accommodation for our 3-night stay. We've learned the hard way with this, though, and past experience has taught us it's a bit of a gamble …

There are many cities and regions in Turkey that are famous for particular recipes or foods - and Antalya is no exception to the case. On so many occasions on this blog, we've written about our love of köfte; yeah, you know we love our köfte - we've done various köfte recipes in the past such as …

That's the overriding memory of both last year's Runtalya 2014 and this year's Runatolia (there's been a name change); just a mass of colour. Last year, I perched myself on the bridge over the start line to take photos and to try to spot Barry in the mass of runners. Of course, that was a futile …

Yes, this year, we again returned to Antalya for the 2015 Runatolia races so that Barry could take part in the half marathon. In previous years, the event has been called Runtalya and it's just getting more and more popular every year. Last year, we realised there was also a high-heel …

In a previous article, we wrote about another day trip from Fethiye; Sarıgerme Beach. Well, if you're anything like us and you start to feel a bit restless once you've finished admiring the beach scenery, you need somewhere to move on to.
