We have been recommended to try a restaurant in Fethiye that is "somewhere near the lycian tombs" and has the word "king" or something similar in the name???? Has anyone any ideas which one it may be, and whereabouts it is. Apparantly it is lovely, and has stunning views, but we have no idea. Many thanks.

I think you may mean Kings Garden. People we know have been there but my understanding is that you go for the stunning views, the food is nothing to shout about.

We went into the restaurant for a drink after climbing the many steps to the tombs. Fabulous views, but would not do again...i don't like heights....but i would do the walk up and have a drink in the restaurant, there was also a couple of guys who had stalls with jewellery, shawls and other nic nacs, not bad prices....nice to while away a few hours.

we went last august, the owner was touting for trade on olu deniz beach, we decided to give it a go, the guy laid on a taxi to pick us up from valletta, near pelin hotel,
took us to the restaurant, persuaded us "to do the steps" to buy hima bit of time, had a nice meal without being anything special, the overpowering memory was though of
it being extremely hot and uncomfortable, with loads of mozzies about. Overall the value for money with transfers was excellent but it certainly wasn't the special meal and experience we had hoped for!!

thanks Teresa and Patty.

Scunner,
Probably in the wrong forum, but what the ...... How about a grading system for Bar and Restaurant reviews to make choosing a little bit easier. Either 1-5 or 1-10, 1 being don't touch with a barge pole, food poisoning etc to 5/10 extremely romantic/value for money/excellent service/fantastic atmosphere etc.
Just a thought, what do others think?

Only visited once Excellent views of Fethiye food mediocre. They had a BOGOF offer on cocktails but had to use a book to see how to make it. If they did not have an ingredient they used a substitute....result also mediocre. :(

Went with eight friends there thanks to a recommendation, a couple of weeks ago - big mistake!! One starter eventually turned up after all of the rest were finished. Of the main courses (when they eventually arrived almost 2 hours after ordering)half of us found them virtually inedible. Had a quiet word with the waiter, who said that the usual chef was sick so someone else was doing the cooking. Agreed that those who couldn't eat the meal would not pay for that course. To be honest, the views are wonderful, as others have already stated, but what we hoped to be a special night was ruined. Not to be recommended, at least by us. Cathy

We were taken here by friends and had a very pleasent evening, mushrooms to start, nice garlic bread, we had pre- ordered the lamb dish, very nice. Views good, the food was OK to good. Worth a visit & they will pick you up. We didn't bother with the steps up to the tomb, has another bottle of wine instead!

Was there last week, nothing to shout about, Kings Garden if i rem correctly, food was below average, was not impressed, if you want something different try the Sundial, they will pick up and drop off, everything about the place is superb.
-
give the kings garden resturant another try folks, they have brought in a new chef, excellant.
-
we went in august.food ok.views lovely.something different to try if you havn't been before.
-
We went there or somewhere up by the tombs last summer - the speciality of the house was a chicken or lamb stew cooked in an earthernware pot in an open fire.....if it's the same place its great ! Food was ok, but the views are simply stunning. Bit hot with the fire in August though - it was a 50th birthday and they wanted "somewhere different"
-
Went there in August last year and loved it! The food was good - my dad is a bit of a fussy eater and even he loved it! :D Enjoyed the walk up the steps to the tombs, burnt off a few calories, and the views up there were stunning. Our reaction when we first walked in the restaurant was to stop, look at the views and just say "wow". Worth the trip for the view alone.
-
We have not been to the King,s Garden but totally agree with the other member about the Sundial, it is my favourite place in the whole world views are spectactular and so is the sunset!
-
when we went the food was great got picked up from home and did not climb the steps would have had aheart attack but the veiws are great but try the sundial food great and the veiws you need a taxi the hill is a bit steep
-
We stayed at the Sundial for two nights had the best time, laying by that pool was heaven, Derek gets a little bored while I am sunbathing so he likes to "potter" about! He walked down that hill and back twice, I dont think I could have done it like you say Puma it is rather steep.
-
How do you get to the Sundial - I've followed directions previously posted on here but couldn't find it.
Thanks

Hi Grant
I am not too clever with directions but if you phone them it was Murat when we were there, him or his brother come to pick you up from Calis and take you back, I did not get to go last year as apparantly it has to be a minimum of four of you to get picked up.
There is a website, you could email the owner and ask about getting picked up.

From Migros cross over the lights and continue ahead past a graveyard on your right and the prison on your left, continue straight across the next lights and up the hill ...pass the university on your left to the next set of lights. At this point there is a trampoline on your right and the road bears right to Ovacik and Hisaronu Don't go any further. Cross the road you have just come up and you will see another road going back down the hill to Patlangic and the Saturday market.....Also cross this road and you will see a stone clad apartment in front of you and a currently empty shop.....there is an unmade road between these two. Go up this road until you get to the T junction and turn left passing a mosque above you on the right. At this point it looks as though the road goes into somebody's yard, but keep going straight ahead as far as you can go and the Sundial entrance is on your right As mentioned it is a steep climb but well worth the effort. 8)

Thanks Tribalelder - I should be able to find it now !!
-
Thanks for the directions ! We've been trying for the last few trips to find it and never been successful. If its open next week we'll have a drink in the bar and raise a glass to you all. Thanks 8)
