We eat out in Fethiye every third night and we are running out of restaurants that don't have the football on every night. We ate at the Megri in Fethiye old town last night fortunately the dreaded football did not start until 21.45 so we had our meal and left just as the mob arrived.
We walked passed the Address and there must have been 400 people there packed in like sardines.
The places we have found football free so far are the Meydan, Veranda, Mosaic, Kings Gardens. Can anybody recommend any others in Fethiye.
We eat at the Address a lot but have to pick the nights to go.

Oztoklu don't have a TV but they're not open during the winter.

Where is Vojo's please? I'm not all that familiar with Calis except the prom.

Don You have to accept you are in Turkey, and if Galatasary or Fenerbache are playing you will get that, the same if you are in England I-e Man Utd, Chelsea etc. ;)
-
I suppose it depends on what bit of England you are thinking about. I don't know of any restaurants which show football around here - I'm pleased to say.

Bella Mama in Calis doesn't have a tv (or football) and it still full every night. Not sure but I don't recall Calis Beach Indian restaurant having a tv either, but could be that we just didn't notice it. Both places are very good and a nice eating experience.

I accept that with the big games but some places have football on most nights, I know the sound is off but it's still a pain. I don't have a TV maybe that's why I find it a pain. :)

Come on now Colwyn, you live in Bristol, what football teams are anyone going to watch in Bristol, do you have any football teams in Bristol? ;)

That's fair comment Don, and I agree with you it can be a pain, but if that's how they can make some money, by attracting customers into their restaurant, bar etc, wouldn't you if you were in business.

I'll have to ask around. I do remember that, when I shared an office with a Liverpudlian, he was asked by a visitor "What do you think of football in Bristol?" and he replied "I think it would be a good idea". But perhaps this just an old football joke.

Nice One Colwyn. :)

Football - 90 minutes of 22 people pretending they're hurt.
Rugby Union - 80 minutes of 30 men pretending they're NOT hurt.

Galatasaray/Fenerbahce match nights are not nights for a quiet meal if you fancy something a bit Turkish in Fethiye. I'd make it every 3 days (+1 if there's a match on) if you want to avoid it.
I used to enjoy being amongst it :)

There aren't so many places that don't have big screen tv's but plenty of customers for those places that don't.
Personally I can't stand restaurants with tv's, there's nothing more irritating than trying to have a conversation as people's eyes inevitably are drawn to the big screen like its some sort of drug craving.
Last restaurant we went to where the only seats available were near one of their several tv's they obligingly turned it off at my request.

If there is a match on we want to watch, we always look for a restaurant with a T.V. to watch it. We usually eat first, as do they other people and then have a few drinks whilst watching the match. The restaurants know a lot of customers want this service and they provide it and I am happy they do. There are restaurants that don't show football, but particular in Calis, on match nights they are usually quite empty. I would not criticise people who want to watch football just as I understand those who don't. i am sure there is a place for everyone.

Thanks for all the advice, Mosaic on Saturday night. :) Last time we were there it was very quiet so we could read our Kindles in peace. :) What a sad pair we are. :) :)

Not sad at all Don, it's nice to find the place and atmosphere that suits you.
-
I don't think it's sad either. I think it's lovely. :)
-
I learned quite a few years ago that people that find the preferences of others to be "sad", tend not to be qualified to make such statements, what with them not being you :D

Mattess restaurant on the fethiye prom makes the people sit outside and watch football on a screen whilst inside has music and warmth.

No one would make us sit outside like criminals or even smokers... Plenty of places to watch the footie in comfort.

Thanks for that, had a look at the Mattess today looks OK. Menu looks very good will try it next week. :) :)

Sundial would be worth a try Don.

Football is a fanatically followed sport in Turkey, hence every bar that has a telly on match days/nights gets rammed. Personally I'm with Scunner, great to be in the thick of it even when you can't understand a word of the commentary,the atmosphere is usually electric. I get the point about restaurants though. It does't make for romantic dining !!!. Got to you hand it you though, Don. Never tried reading a Kindle whilst having a meal with my missus, guess it beats talking to her. I've got to try it though, but I reckon I'd probably get a slap for ignoring her !!!

After being married for 55 years "SHE" is happy to read her Kindle. :) :) :)
