Interesting article in the Hurriyet about a lesser known eating venue and museum just outside of Kargi.

Sounds good

Is it far from Fethiye? Would you need a car or is there a dolmus?

This fantastic museum and restaurant is easy enough to reach, take a dolmus to Ciftlik or Kargi, if you get the dolmus that goes through the villages (others go along the main road only) just tell the driver you want to go to Yoruk Museum, if you head towards the foothills of the mountains and pick up the canal road heading towards Dalaman you will not miss it,  Enver offers a taxi service to his customers, but we always prefer to walk home as the breakfasts are so big.  
The museum is very interesting and if Enver is quiet he loves to take his guests around himself, chickens, donkeys and other wildlife are roaming.  The pool is refilled often with fresh mountain water, no need for chemicals.  
Would recommend this place to anyone for a real treat, we have yet to be charged for the girls to eat here.

We were exploring the area last year and came across this lovely little place, had a look round the museum very interesting. before setting back we had a drink and a piece of cake "NO CHARGE" but even so we left a nice tip.

Well recommended

Go straight through Kargi village (from Fethiye direction), when you come to the end of the village (where the 'Kargi' sign has the cross through it) get off the Dolmus and there is a signpost to the Museum which takes a lane to the right. It's quite a walk up there , probably 20 mins, but well worth it as the lane itself takes you past local farms etc... very interesting, we go every year !
