somewhere new

There is also another Hisaronu about thirty minutes the other side of Marmaris. The area is really quiet but pretty and I only know of one hotel called The Golden Key. Not sure what the transport would be like without a car though.

Have a look at the topic Datca trip. Lots of good stuff from my earlier question. Enjoy.

The bees tend to appear in autumn mainly because the road from a few a few kilometres beyond Akyaka towards Akbuk is lined with hives at that time of year.

Akyaka is in a conservation area and the houses even new ones have to be no more than 3 stories and have an appearance of Ula architecture albeit achieved in modern materials.

Hubble Bubble I am not aware that there is a major fault line in the Gulf of Gokova.There seems to be one to the east of Fethiye

Do a Google search for "gokova fault". There are quite a few hits. The last major one was in 1941 @ 6.8 magnitude. I believe that it caused a minor tsunami. The Fault line running along the Gulf of Gökova is classed as one of the major ones in Turkey. It is not that active but like any it can be. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CCcQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emsc-csem.org%2FDoc%2FGokova_0804.pdf&rct=j&q=gokova%20fault&ei=bka1TZ2HLs6zhAf_uLDkDw&usg=AFQjCNGvLoLir3DHOshJ_9Zi7dp1GjD4zQ&cad=rja

Thanks waterdragon. It appears to cross at the head of the Gulf near Bodrum and be of similar intensity to the Fethiye fault.One of the papers refers to the Gulf being controlled by "normal faults" which I take to be exactly what you said

. Mind having worked in Tokyo where tremors are a fact of daily life I've become a fatalist.

Atyaka is a really pretty place and the beach is proper sand. Datcha was our first holiday destination to Turkey many years ago. this is also another lovely lace to visit.
