Because we wanted to see the ruins of ancient Myra again, we did a mini D400 coastal road trip rather than returning via the quicker yayla mountain road. 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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 race…that’s women running in …
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. Sarıgerme is part of Ortaca and just a tad further along the D400 …
In January 2011, we took a few winter photos of Sarıgerme Beach and, since that date, until recently, we’d neither looked at that blog post nor been back to Sarıgerme. When my dad was here in October, that changed. It changed because he’d been earwigging on the plane over to here and had heard a …
In our previous post for our little Dalyan mini series we told you how to get from Fethiye to Dalyan by bus. For this post, we’ll tell you about where we stayed: Hotel Konak Melsa. Because all of this was just done on a whim. After doing a day trip to Dalyan from Fethiye on …
For lots of visitors to the Fethiye area, Dalyan has always been that place where you go on an organised day trip from Fethiye. A transfer from Fethiye to Dalyan, before getting in a boat and sailing along the river to look at the Lycian ruins and going on to the sulphur mud baths before …
