Winter Pics - part two
« on: February 08, 2015, 10:18:10 AM »
A few more pics for you lucky people (and Greedy Lotty).  The first ones were taken on Thursday, which was a nice day until about two, when the clouds rocked over.  They were taken on and around the Fethiye Promenade, at the Calis end.





The schools and colleges are on a fortnight's holiday at the moment, so there are a number of families and students around areas like the Fethiye prom or Cais Beach.





Looking out towards Calis and the island off Calis Beach, whose name I cannot recall at this moment.



These next couple were taken on the newly - and nearly - completed part of the prom at the Calis end.  There still looks like work is to be done, like trees, gardening, bridges and perhaps some benches or seats.  Not sure when this will be done or whether a budget for that sort of work/equipment has been allocated yet or not.





And finally these two pics were taken on Friday.  These are part of the infamous Mafia Village, which can be found over the canal from the Hotel Pelin, by the main road bridges behind the Calis Beach area itself.  I am sure others will be able to supply detail about how this come about, and why it was not completed etc.

Little Venice which I was told it was named was left as it stands now after the developer was alledgedly killed .It must be over 20 years ago and maybe the legalities are still not  resolved.

 Great pics UBT  8)

Thank you so much for the pics, they make me Calis sick!!  Is it yet possible to walk all the way from Calis into Fethiye or do you still need to negotiate the main road for a while first?

Don - great shots of Kaya.

Echogirl - I'm afraid you still need to take the main road for part of the Fethiye-Calis coastway walk.

Sorry for answering on Don's behalf but Spring is here in Fethiye, yes!

Lots of blossom on trees and wild flowers. Some of my sun daisies are flowering, if a little shyly and I can hear frogs (or toads, not sure) at night.
