A couple of years ago, you may remember we went to Iztuzu Beach near Dalyan to watch the release of Özlem the loggerhead turtle back into the wild. A few weeks ago, while killing some time before dropping friends off at Dalaman Airport, we returned to Iztuzu Beach because these friends wanted to see the turtle …
We posted about the boat trip from Fethiye to Göcek market last year and, last Sunday, we made the trip again. In this post, we’d like you to join us on our outing as we sail from Fethiye, across the bay to beautiful Göcek and back again. Our journey begins at 11 am, just after …
Eventually, we tore ourselves away from the view – well, we didn’t have all day to idle around, unfortunately – and made the slippery, winding descent to Sarsala Beach. There are always new places to discover in this area of Turkey! A few days ago, we asked a question on our Turkey’s For Life Facebook …
On Monday, our friends had a late flight from Dalaman airport back to the UK. Rather than us sitting around, waiting and moping all day, we decided to make their last few hours in Turkey a bit more entertaining. We hired a car so we could spend some time in Göcek and Dalyan. You may …
Have you ever been somewhere where you have felt like the only people on the planet? Somewhere where you’ve almost felt like an intruder, disturbing all that is natural life? Somewhere that feels like paradise? I’m not exaggerating when I say we were in that somewhere yesterday. We picked some friends up from Dalaman airport …
A few days ago, we were chatting to a family at Cafe Pazar and we asked them where they were staying while on holiday. ‘Oh, we have a villa in a secret valley.’ Well, that was what we thought they said – and it made me curious… ‘Can you tell us where your secret valley …
People who go to the Southern Turkish city of Antalya inevitably come away with memories of wandering around and getting lost in the old city of Kaleiçi, passing through the castle walls via Hadrian’s Gate (Üç Kapı) and enjoying views of Antalya harbour from above. We did all those things and have written about them …
Ahh, the famous Fethiye boat trips. We can’t write about all of them in one post or else we’ll be writing all day. And anyone reading this will become either very bored or completely overwhelmed with too much information. Basically, if you want to do one of the public boat trips from Fethiye, there are …
It was 1998 when we first set eyes on the wonder that is the ancient site of Tlos. Our first time in Fethiye (and Turkey, for that matter) and two friends we’d met here had taken us on a day trip drive around the stunning Xanthos valley area. First, to the awe of Saklıkent Gorge …
Ahh, the lovely YakaPark. No day trip from Fethiye to either Saklıkent Gorge or the ancient city of Tlos is complete without a visit to YakaPark Restaurant. When we first came to Fethiye for our holidays in 1998, we met a couple of friends who took us up here on a hot afternoon and we’ve …
