We also went to festival on the Saturday early evening Really enjoyed it and did manage to buy some Morel mushrooms We only got the 15 lira bag but it did have 21 mushrooms in They were delicious so looking forward  to next year and will get the larger bags Unsure where the mushrooms came from  originally though as the man selling them travelled with us on the dolmus from Fethiye with his precious load

Sorry for the delay, have only just stopped laughing.
Only in Turkey could you have a mushroom festival with no mushrooms:D

I went to Nif cherry festival last year and there were loads of huge cherries for sale. I thought that it was quiet for a festival until later in the evening when suddenly hundreds of people arrived to hear the music.The same thing seems to happen at most festivals, Turkish people arrive late in the evening, but then they are probably working during the day.

I think that the festivals enable you too meet Turkish people whom you would not normally come into contact with as a tourist. People who are farmers etc.
