take a trip out to Kaya Rob, plenty of traditional to chose from out there, and in the most incredible surroundings.

Can't say I've heard of it. Is Kaya Rob near Kaya Koy?

For cheap traditional food all freshly cooked every day you can't beat SAHIL 2 on the Migros road.
There is always a great choice of soups, fresh casserole type dishes, some vegetarian and kebabs/cutlets/meatballs.
Also lovely puddings.
They also do the usual turkish pizza(pide) and a cracking doner kebab.
well worth a visit.

For traditional it is also a good experience to visit a lokanta where all the food is on show in glass cabinets and you can point at various dishes and try one or more. For an easy to find and great quality one to start with, try the Megri Lokantasi, just round the corner from the main street in Fethiye where Finans & Garanti banks are. If natural yoghurt is ok with you (it wasn't with me prior to living in Turkey), forget pointing through the glass, ask for Iskender kebap - it's a lamb dish served on bread with yoghurt and tomato - as I am writing this I am aware it sounds horrible it isn't at all - and theirs is lovely.

If you can't find it, ask anyone for the Duck Pond, which is next to the Megri. The Duck Pond is notable for it's duck pond and sadly unimaginative and bland menu.

And if you aren't confused enough already, make sure you find the Megri Lokantasi, there is a Megri restaurant too -and good though that is, it's not the one you are looking for

Oh Dear!

What is the Megri?

[Scunner]

It's a restaurant Rob, keep up mate

Megri was the name of Fethiye before it became Fethiye.

Ok OK i should have said what does the name Megri mean but thank you Scunner for understanding me

I understand everyone, I just choose to pretend I don't when I see a gag opportunity

Definitely if you are staying in Calis you should try Sardunya - some lovely meals and as authentic a set of mezes as you will find in Calis I think. Most remarkable is the liver and onions, which is fabulous but comes in shocking style and presentation - what with it being served as liver, and onions. Nothing else on the plate, the onions are sliced and raw - but all in all superb
