    4 July 2022 / 0 Comments

    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.

    10 February 2022 / Comments Off on 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.
