Free driving guide to exploring around and about Fethiye

[nichola]

Check out this pretty cool guide to exploring around and about Fethiye - with village driving routes.  I know some of you will be really interested in this.

It's not very long or wordy, very visually pleasing and there are lots of photos and some useful information and descriptions.

This guide is an outcome of the Taste of Fethiye project and most of you won't know Şemsi who is the mind behind the project. He moved here with his wife Asla from Istanbul a couple of years ago and it was of the best things that happened to this town. Şemsi and Asla turned out more than 200 people from the Chambers of Commerce for the Tom and Misha Jazz Benefit Victory celebrations, no mean feat! I am sure there is more to come but in the meantime I hope you like this little guide.

Fantastic and it opens up in iBooks on iPad, so really handy.
The other day we drove towards Saklikent, had village breakfast for 6tl in Kadikoy at one of the little roadside restaurants, had Kar serbati from another little place along the way, and later bought village baklava from another little place to take home for tea.
We cut off from the main road and drove back through some beautiful villages, stopping to take photos of wonderful scenery along the way.

One of the best days out for ages.
Would really recommend going around the back roads and this guide should be a great help when planning our next village explorations.
Thanks for sharing Nichola

Nichola, thanks for sharing.

It's my pleasure - its so great to see something so useful being produced in, and for the benefit of this area.

I have just in fact got off the phone to Şemsi and this is a trial production and if successful there are plans to develop it further and produce another one to include new areas.

The guide is going to be available in hard copy via the car hire companies and have already been distributed but as a special favour to me I will be given the few remaining copies (about 25) and these will be available at the Mozaik Bahçe restaurant for anyone who wants one.

Thanks Nichola, It's brought back lovely memories.

Thanks Nichola, I'll be back over in 4 weeks and we've hired a car so this will be really useful.
We were looking for some trips off to take in the culture in the surrounding area.
Hope you will still be open so that we can call in for lunch.

Thanks Buddy, yes we will be open day and evening until the end of November but not Sunday day times.

It will be really useful if you can feedback if this Guide is actually made available with your hire car or through the company you have booked with, and how useful you found it. If anyone else wants to give me any feedback I will pass it on to Şemsi as it may help iron out distribution and availability problems or improve the next edition.

At least you have access to the online copy and I hope you have some fun travelling around, something we plan to spend some time doing ourselves this winter.

I have just read the guide and it looks good to me but unfortunately neither i or Dizzie drives,    Would anyone know roughly how much it would cost to hire a  taxi / car plus driver ?  for a few hrs just to sample some of the outlying areas of fethie.

Thanks Nicola, have saved it to print off - might get to explore some over the out of season months.
