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 …
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 waterways to view the iconic Lycian ruins and going on to the sulphur mud baths before …
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 …
