    29 July 2021 / 1 Comment

    Antalya is a teeming city of millions, but at its heart lies the Kaleici, a hidden gem of close-packed narrow streets, restored Ottoman houses, lovely parks and a Roman harbour, all encircled by ancient walls.

    The Symphonic Aqueduct At Delikkemer

    28 July 2021 / Comments Off on The Symphonic Aqueduct At Delikkemer

    The builders of the Delikkemer reverse siphon aqueduct demonstrated a profound knowledge of hydraulics when they constructed this substantial piece of quality 2000-year-old civil engineering, allowing water to flow uphill. Astonishing, and well worth a visit.

    2020 – The Year Of Patara

    27 July 2021 / Comments Off on 2020 – The Year Of Patara

    One of the finest of all the Lycian cities, possessing the world’s oldest lighthouse, a council chamber where the leaders of the earliest known example of democracy gathered, a superb amphitheatre and a great big willy on a rock, all combining to make Patara a must-see destination.

    Splendid Sunsets

    27 July 2021 / Comments Off on Splendid Sunsets

    There is something arresting about a sunset as that big old fiery ball of orange sinks below the horizon, usually last thing in the evening. Think they’re all the same? Think again.

    27 July 2021 / Comments Off on Remember The Winter?

    Frankly, there’s not much of a downside to winter around here, but while you’re enduring the full-on strength of high summer, I’ve offered a few viewing options of winter-themed films to take your mind off the relentless heat.

    Elmali – A Town Of Mountains And Apples

    27 July 2021 / Comments Off on Elmali – A Town Of Mountains And Apples

    This lovely upland town is surrounded by mountains and is famed for its apples, grown in thousands of orchards across the valley. It’s one of our favourite places to visit, especially in summer - the altitude makes it so much cooler than Fethiye.

    Çıralı is a charming, traditional coastal village, famed for the ruins of ancient Olympos and the Chimaera, the eternal flames that sprout out of the ground. It’s quite a place - and we even managed to avoid scorching our shoes!

    Covid restrictions curtailed our freedom and denied us the company of friends, so I had to improvise and populated the garden with imaginary characters of a bushy nature. It was a bit worrying, to be honest...
