Tales From Turkey

Springtime In Nif
We stayed at a wonderfully tranquil rural retreat up in the hills behind Fethiye. Why travel to Japan when you can see all the cherry blossom you will ever want at Nif.

A Road Trip Across Europe With A Very Grumpy Cat!
Fancy an adventure? We take a road trip from Fethiye to Gloucester, passing through nine countries and covering 4245km in the company of a very grumpy cat!

Meis, Megisti, Kastellorizo
The beautiful island of Meis lies a few kilometres off Kaş. It is wonderfully relaxed, truly gorgeous and always worth a visit. One of our very favourite places.

To Rhodes And Symi By Gulet
Although a faulty engine effected our cruise, it most certainly didn't spoil it, and we were privileged to experience something really rather special as we visited two fabulous Greek islands.
-
Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul
Split in two by the Bosphorus, Istanbul is one of the greatest cities on earth, possessing an extraordinary history, fabulous architecture and an energetic restlessness. What a place!

Lycian Legacy – Pinara
Tucked away in the mountains and dominated by a dramatic red cliff peppered with dozens of rock-cut tombs, there's a dream-like quality to the ancient city of Pinara. It's one of my favourite places in Turkey.

Fethiye Boatyards
If you want your bottom scraped, a paint job, rotting timbers replaced or an engine refit, best book a spot at the boatyards beyond Karagozler. It's a fascinating place where traditional skills live on. Always well worth a visit.

A Life in Colour
Months of brilliant sunshine really make colours fizz and pop in Turkey. Here's a selection of cheerful photos to prove my point. Don't forget your shades. Or welding goggles if it's a particularly bright day!

Selçuk and Ephesus
A road trip north took us to Selçuk, a town blessed with more history than you can shake a stick at, including, would you believe, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World.
