In 14 years of visiting Fethiye I have never had a Turkish Bath.

I do not like cold water or pain - both of which (I am told) are part of the cleaning process.

Shaves/massages in the Berber are a delight but I don't fancy being grappled and turned inside out.

....and yes, I am a wuss.

Never had one either.  I have had two frozen shoulders in the past and never want anyone pulling my arms as my shoulders would not take it.
Phil and the family have had them though.

I've not succumbed to that particular Turkish delight either.

Not a fan of too much touching.

I have never had:

A Turkish person shave me (or anyone else for that matter)  :)

Been to the Sundial (only 'cos I have never found it)

Been paragliding (only 'cos I am too tight to pay the money)

A meal or even stopped in Ovacik.

I never know where Ovacik ends and Hisaronu begins and it seems neither do the locals.  I only go to Ovacik for my visits to Goldfinger and the Garden Centre.  I have asked people there where the boundary is and everyone has a different opinion. 
So, spo6666 chances are you have stop in Ovacik  :)

As a resident, I would say that Ovacik begins as soon as you get to the top of the hill coming up the winding road from Taşyaka, Fethiye.
I reckon it ends just as the road curves right about 50 yards after GoldFinger and the new mosque that is currently being built.

I have also never been on a banana boat or ringo.

I have not yet been to the other side of the lagoon to Billy's Beach/Sugar Beach etc.

Never walked round the Ghost Village in Kaya either.

Never been for a night out in Hisaronu

Never been to Sovalye Island

Never been to Gocek Sunday market

Never visited the Ghost Town in Kaya

Never had a Turkish bath

Never had a Turkish ice cream

Never watched a belly dancer

Never had an Efes

Don't know where Sovalye island is, never been there.
Have done the rest the best being the Turkish bath. Boy, what an experience!
Also have jumped off B mountain and paraglide (just last June). Good but not great - best parts were taking off (thrill) and landing (yikes!).
Never been to Ovacik or Hisaronu - maybe next time in a few weeks.
Never scuba dived, though love snorkelling
Never swum with Dolphins (would love to).
Never been to mud baths (yuk)
Never eaten at Mosaic (where is it? Worth going?)
Done jeep safari in Portugal (never again - can do without all those spine jarring bumps)
