A Historical Crossroads Steeped in Lycian Heritage

Demre is the world’s 307th member of the International Cittaslow Network, and its timeless landscapes reflect this spirit of calm. Nestled in a fertile plain framed by mountains, the district has hosted numerous civilizations throughout history.

Visitors can wander through the ancient city of Myra, once a major centre of the Lycian League, explore Andriake, one of the Mediterranean’s most important ancient ports, and discover Simena in Kaleköy, a hillside settlement where ancient ruins meet sea-blue panoramas. Amphitheatres, rock-cut tombs and centuries-old harbor structures offer a vivid glimpse into Turkey’s deep historical tapestry.

Museums and Natural Wonders

Culture lovers are drawn to the Museum of Lycian Civilizations, which beautifully showcases the region’s archaeological riches. Just outside the museum, a tranquil river nicknamed a “bird paradise” is home to 126 different species, offering a magical escape for nature enthusiasts.

For those interested in religious heritage, the Church of St. Nicholas — built near the believed burial site of the Bishop of Myra who inspired the modern-day Santa Claus — stands as one of Demre’s most treasured landmarks.

Stunning Coastal Tours and the Magic of Kaleköy

Demre’s coastline is nothing short of spectacular. The crystal-clear waters around Kekova, Kaleköy and Üçağız entice visitors onto boat tours where lush green hills give way to deep sapphire seas.

Kaleköy, honoured as the Best Tourism Village 2025, captivates with its ancient Simena ruins, winding stone paths, and a postcard-perfect castle overlooking the bay. Equally enthralling is the sunken city of Kekova — remnants of ancient Byzantine and Roman settlements now resting beneath the waves, best explored by canoe or glass-bottom boat.

A Community Rooted in Agriculture

Beyond its archaeological and coastal appeal, Demre thrives as a major centre of greenhouse agriculture. Locally grown tomatoes and peppers — cultivated by more than 3,000 families across 18,000 acres — are exported worldwide, forming an essential part of the local economy.

Yet, as Mayor Fahri Duran notes, land fragmentation due to inheritance laws has prompted many residents to look toward the growing tourism sector for new opportunities.

A Peaceful Lifestyle and Growing Tourism Potential

Mayor Duran highlights Demre’s unique balance of heritage, nature and tranquility. With key Lycian cities such as Myra and Simena, the beloved Church of St. Nicholas, and the world’s top tourism village, Kaleköy, the district is poised for even greater prominence.

He emphasizes Demre’s peaceful, low-crime lifestyle, pristine coastal beauty and rising visitor numbers — now around 650,000 annually and expected to grow further with its Cittaslow recognition.

“Every corner of our district is a treasure,” the mayor affirms — and for travellers seeking culture, calm and coastal dreams, Demre’s treasures are ready to be savoured.

Boat Appears to Hover in Mid-Air in Muğla

Fethiye, MUĞLA – Residents and visitors in Fethiye witnessed an extraordinary sight when a boat on the horizon appeared to be floating in mid-air, caused by a rare atmospheric phenomenon known as Fata Morgana. The unusual scene, recorded on a mobile phone, rapidly went viral on social media.

The optical illusion occurred over the sea, creating a moment where the distant boat seemed suspended above the water. Viewers who saw the footage expressed disbelief, with many describing it as one of the most striking natural events they had ever seen.

What is Fata Morgana?

Fata Morgana is a complex type of mirage caused by temperature differences between air layers. This refraction effect distorts the appearance of distant objects, making them seem elevated, stretched, or suspended in the air.

Bodrum’s Çökertme Kebab Ranks 7th on World Food List

Bodrum, MUĞLA – Bodrum’s geographically indicated speciality, Çökertme kebab, has achieved international acclaim by ranking 7th on the “World’s 100 Best Foods” list, announced by a respected global gastronomy source.

Bodrum Chamber of Commerce President Mahmüt Serdar Kocadon celebrated the achievement, noting that the dish’s international recognition strengthens efforts to protect and promote its authenticity. He said, “We can share the story of Çökertme kebab and highlight its ranking as the 7th most delicious dish in the world. This is a source of real pride. We also recently secured geographical indication registration for Çökertme kebab, which is both a proud moment and solid proof of its value.”

Kocadon added that Bodrum aims to ensure the dish is prepared authentically in local restaurants and hotels. Establishments will be able to obtain a certification confirming they serve genuine Çökertme kebab. “The application process is simple and free. District Agriculture, our chamber, and a university representative will evaluate the dish. If it meets the criteria, we will approve it and provide a certificate. We encourage all restaurant and hotel owners to apply,” he said.

Chef Emrah Sarıca highlighted the dish’s importance to Bodrum tourism, calling it “a cultural and local treasure” that is especially popular with visitors. Originating from the Çökertme region of Muğla–Bodrum, the dish is among the top choices of tourists during the summer months.

Çökertme kebab is distinguished by its thinly sliced meat served over crispy potatoes with garlic yogurt and tomato sauce. Sarıca detailed the preparation techniques: “The meat must be cooked quickly and sliced thin. The potatoes should be soaked in icy water to remove starch before being fried in plenty of oil. On the plate, the potatoes come first, then the meat and the tomato sauce.”

Featured in nearly every hotel and restaurant across Bodrum, Çökertme kebab continues to enhance the district’s reputation in culinary tourism, demonstrating that Bodrum’s global appeal extends far beyond its sea, scenery, and nightlife.

The post Fethiye Times News – Week Ending 30th November 2025 appeared first on Fethiye Times.

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas in Turkey or looking to add something different to your holiday table, here are some delicious ideas for a festive meal with a Turkish twist.

Turkish Meze: the perfect start

In Turkey, meze is an essential part of any celebration, and Christmas is no exception. A spread of small, flavorful dishes provides the perfect beginning to a festive meal. Chestnut hummus (chickpea dip), Ezme (spicy tomato and pepper dip), and Baba Ghanoush (smoked eggplant dip) offer fresh and tangy flavours that complement the richness of a holiday feast. Pair them with warm, soft pide or crispy lahmacun (Turkish pizza) to kick off your celebration in style.

Main Course: turkey with a twist

While turkey is a staple in many Christmas dinners around the world, Türkiye’s own version often comes with a delicious twist. For a truly Turkish holiday main course, try Fırın Tavuk (roast chicken or turkey) flavoured with a rich mixture of olive oil, garlic, lemon, and aromatic herbs. Add a touch of sumac or paprika for a smoky depth of flavour, and slow-roast the meat until golden and tender.

Another popular dish is Kuzu tandır (slow-cooked lamb), where the lamb is marinated in a mix of olive oil, garlic, and spices, and then slow-cooked until the meat is fall-apart tender. This dish offers a luxurious alternative to the usual holiday roast and carries the unmistakable taste of Turkish cuisine.

Side Dishes: a Festive feast of flavours

When it comes to side dishes, Turkish cuisine offers plenty of options to complement your Christmas meal. Pilav (rice pilaf), often prepared with orzo, pine nuts, and currants, makes a wonderful addition to any holiday table. For a more rustic side, try Bulgur Pilavı, a hearty dish made from cracked wheat, sautéed onions, and peppers.

For vegetable lovers, Kısır, a refreshing bulgur salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs like parsley and mint, offers a light and tangy contrast to the heavier main dishes. Another popular side dish is Yaprak Sarma – grape leaves stuffed with a filling of rice, pine nuts, and spices, all wrapped tightly and steamed to perfection.

Sweet Endings: Turkish desserts for Christmas

No Christmas feast would be complete without dessert, and Turkey is home to a wealth of sweet treats perfect for the occasion. One of the most iconic Turkish desserts is Baklava – a delicate pastry made of thin layers of dough, filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with honey or syrup. Serve it alongside a rich, velvety cup of Turkish coffee for a truly festive touch.

Another popular Turkish holiday dessert is Künefe, a warm, cheesy pastry soaked in syrup and often topped with pistachios. It’s rich, indulgent, and guaranteed to impress guests at your Christmas table. For a lighter finish, Lokum (Turkish delight) in a variety of flavors like rose, lemon, and pomegranate can be a sweet treat to offer alongside tea or coffee.

Festive Turkish drinks

To wash down the feast, try a traditional Ayran, a refreshing yogurt-based drink that pairs perfectly with rich, savory dishes. Alternatively, serve up a festive Şarap (Turkish wine), which has been gaining international acclaim for its rich flavours, especially the wines from the Central Anatolia region. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a warm salep (a sweet, creamy drink made from orchid roots) offers a deliciously warming treat on a cold winter’s night.

Adding a Turkish twist to your Christmas dinner brings bold flavours, unique ingredients, and a sense of tradition to the table. Whether you’re in Turkey or hosting a holiday feast abroad, these dishes will make your celebration unforgettable, combining the best of both Christmas and Turkish culinary culture. So, gather around the table, enjoy the festive spirit, and indulge in the rich, delicious flavors of a holiday meal with a Turkish twist.

Demolition Continues at Coastal Businesses in Kocaçalış, Fethiye

Fethiye, MUĞLA – Demolition orders issued for businesses in the Kocaçalış area of Fethiye’s Çiftlik neighborhood are now being carried out, as operators continue dismantling their establishments at their own expense. The Fethiye Municipality has given business owners until December 1 to complete the process, but uncertainty looms over what will happen to the coastline once the clearances are finished.

The actions follow earlier decisions declaring that businesses in the area fall within the officially designated coastal border. Landowner and operator Zeyyad Hekimci said that property holders have repeatedly suffered losses due to shifting shoreline determinations and legal reversals over the years.

Hekimci explained that the family’s land deeds were first issued in 1952, when 2,500 decares of land stretching “from the sea to the forest, from Karagedik to Kargı” were sold by the state to the Çiftlik Cooperative under his grandfather, Ömer Hekimci.

According to Hekimci, a miscalculation later caused 154 decares of their registered land to be incorrectly classified within the coastline. Although the Supreme Court once confirmed this error, allowing them to regain the title deed in 2010, the situation changed again following the political upheaval in 2016. A renewed case in 2017 reversed their previous victory, resulting in the loss of the land once more.

He said operators built facilities only after obtaining approvals through the 2017 zoning amnesty, receiving building permits, utility access, and door numbers from the municipality. After the court decision invalidated the title deeds, however, these structures again became categorised as illegal.

Hekimci noted that substantial payments have also been made to the state for unpaid rent:

• 2.5 million TL between 2017 and 2022
• 9.5 million TL between 2022 and 2025

Despite paying these amounts, they were unable to secure operating permits.

“Now the municipality rightfully wants to demolish these illegal buildings,” he said. “To avoid causing further financial strain to the municipality or damage to national property, we are carrying out the demolitions ourselves.”

Addressing rumors circulating in the region, Hekimci stated that their goal is to secure a lease for the land so it is not transferred to another party. He expressed confidence in both public institutions and the municipality:

“We believe the Fethiye Municipality, the Environment and Urbanization authorities, and the state will consider our situation. There are claims that this land will go to someone else, even mentioning former MP Hasan Özyer, but I do not believe the municipality or Mr. Özyer has such intentions.”

As demolition continues along the Kocaçalış coastline, residents and operators remain uncertain about future use of the area, awaiting clarity from state and municipal authorities.

MUSKİ Cleans 77 Kilometers of Streams in Fethiye and Seydikemer

Fethiye, MUĞLA – Muğla Metropolitan Municipality Water and Sewerage Administration (MUSKİ) teams have completed 77 kilometers of stream cleaning in Fethiye and Seydikemer as part of seasonal preparations aimed at reducing flood risks.

According to a statement from the MUSKİ General Directorate, teams accelerated their efforts in line with Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Aras’s emphasis on environmental protection, improved urban aesthetics, and safeguarding life and property.

The statement read: “We are continuing our work in line with our Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Aras’s commitment to environmental awareness, increasing and improving urban aesthetics, and protecting the safety of life and property. In this context, our stream cleaning efforts continue unabated. This year, as part of our work in the Fethiye and Seydikemer districts, we cleaned a total of 77,100 meters of streams, including 59,600 meters in Fethiye and 17,500 meters in Seydikemer. Our efforts to regulate water flow, reduce flood risk, and protect environmental health will continue uninterrupted throughout our city.”

The cleared streams are expected to improve water flow and help prevent blockages during periods of heavy rainfall, contributing to safer and more resilient infrastructure across the region.

Fines Issued to Those Who Randomly Dumped Garbage in Fethiye

Fethiye, MUĞLA – As part of continued environmental cleanup efforts in Fethiye, several citizens who were found to have dumped garbage randomly were issued administrative fines. Individuals who left waste on the ground or outside designated dumpsters were identified through photo traps placed at strategic locations across the district.

Following these detections, authorities imposed fines on those responsible, reinforcing the municipality’s commitment to curbing illegal dumping and protecting the environment.

Fethiye Mayor Alim Karaca highlighted the success of the district-wide cleanup initiative, noting that the campaign—launched simultaneously across Fethiye during the summer—has already yielded significant results.

“Clean Fethiye” Becomes a Model for Turkey

Mayor Karaca said: “Our ‘CLEAN FETHİYE’ campaign is successfully underway. We are expanding our cleaning campaign with the campaign we launched simultaneously throughout the district during the summer months. This comprehensive effort, aimed at preventing littering on the ground and outside of garbage containers, has become an exemplary campaign throughout Turkey. We remain committed to making Fethiye a spotlessly clean city. I thank all our citizens who show concern and invite those who litter outside of garbage containers and on the ground to protect this city together.”

The municipality emphasized that environmental monitoring and photo-trap surveillance will continue across Fethiye to deter illegal dumping and maintain the district’s growing reputation as a clean and environmentally responsible community.

New Directive Prohibits Feeding of Stray Dogs Across Istanbul

Istanbul – The Istanbul Governor’s Office has issued a new directive prohibiting the feeding of stray dogs in public areas across the city, marking a significant step in its broader initiative to regulate stray animal management and safeguard public health.

The circular, titled “Procedures and Actions to Be Taken Regarding Stray Animals,” was published following the Provincial Animal Protection Board meeting held on Nov. 5, 2025. The directive reiterates the responsibilities of municipalities under Law No. 5199 on the Protection of Animals and related regulations, underscoring the crucial role of local authorities in managing the city’s stray animal population.

According to the Governor’s Office, municipalities across Istanbul have been allocated plots to establish natural habitats and shelters for stray animals. The directive calls for the rapid completion of planning, tendering, and construction phases for these facilities. It also urges municipalities to intensify efforts to collect, sterilize, rehabilitate, and relocate stray dogs to these designated areas in full compliance with the law.

A central mandate of the directive is the prohibition of uncontrolled feeding of stray dogs in sensitive locations, including:

• Health care and educational institutions
• Airports
• Places of worship
• Parks and gardens
• Roadsides and playgrounds

Authorities say the ban aims to curb rising pest and rodent populations, reduce environmental pollution, prevent ecological imbalance, and mitigate risks to public health and safety.

The directive assigns supervisors the responsibility of ensuring the feeding ban is strictly enforced, warning that any loss of life or property damage linked to stray animals will be interpreted as a municipal failure to meet legal obligations. Such failures could carry administrative repercussions.

The Istanbul Governor’s Office called on both residents and local authorities to fully comply with the new measures, stressing the importance of coordinated action in creating a safer, healthier, and more balanced urban environment.

Gendarmerie Launch Drone-Assisted Operation Against Sand Thieves in Manavgat

Manavgat, ANTALYA – Gendarmerie units in Antalya’s Manavgat district have launched a drone-assisted operation targeting sand thieves who have caused extensive environmental damage along the coastline.

Acting on citizen reports received on Nov. 21, teams carried out a raid in the Mendirek area, where they seized trucks and heavy machinery found actively loading sand. Several drivers attempted to flee despite warnings, but were apprehended after a brief chase. Three suspects were detained, and efforts are continuing to locate two additional individuals connected to the operation.

As part of the investigation, authorities impounded five trucks and three excavators believed to have been used in large-scale sand theft in the Ulualan region. One suspect, identified as Seydi İ., was arrested and subsequently sent to prison.

Drone footage recorded along the Boğaz coastline revealed the scale of the environmental destruction, capturing deep pits and severe disruption to the natural shoreline.

Gendarmerie teams in Manavgat have now implemented 24/7 monitoring, utilizing drones, ground patrols, and newly installed camera traps—especially around the pine grove area, where access will be strictly controlled. Officials say these measures aim to halt further environmental damage and protect the region’s fragile coastal ecosystem.

Life of World’s Tallest Man to Be Made Into Documentary in London

Mardin – Sultan Kösen, the 2.51-meter-tall man from Mardin who has held the Guinness World Record for the world’s tallest living person for 16 years, is set to take part in an international documentary detailing his remarkable life story.

Born in the rural village of Dede in Derik district, Kösen entered the Guinness Book in 2009, earning recognition not only for his extraordinary height but also for having the world’s largest hands (27.5 cm) and size 61 feet. His records have remained unchallenged ever since.

Having visited more than 136 countries, Kösen continues to attract global attention. He will travel to London on Nov. 25 for a week-long visit, during which filming for the documentary—produced by an international company—will take place. The film will trace his journey from his childhood in southeastern Turkey to his rise as a world-renowned figure.

During his London stay, Kösen will also return to the Guinness World Records headquarters for an official height measurement, reaffirming his long-held title. He is also expected to sign Guinness Book copies at several landmark locations across the city.

Kösen said he takes great pride in representing Turkey worldwide:

“For nearly 16 years, I’ve held this record. My hands and feet are also the largest in the world. It is an honor, something that fills me with pride,” he said. “We introduce our beautiful Turkey and our culture to the world. I am proud and happy. The world already knows Sultan Kösen, and soon everyone will know even more.”

His manager and interpreter, Mehmet Veysi Bora, stated that Kösen will again appear in the 2026 edition of the Guinness Book. He added that the documentary aims to offer a rare and intimate look into Kösen’s life, while academic teams plan to conduct health examinations for an upcoming scientific publication.

“Interest in Kösen is unmatched wherever we go,” Bora said. “Even celebrities ask to take photos with him. This shows the unique fascination he inspires.”

Neolithic Structure Resembling Amphitheater Unearthed in Southeastern Turkey

Şanlıurfa, TURKEY – Archaeologists have uncovered a Neolithic architectural structure resembling an amphitheater at the Karahantepe archaeological site in southeastern Turkey, revealing new clues about early communal life and ritual practices.

Located within Tek Tek Mountains National Park, around 46 kilometers from Şanlıurfa’s city center, the site continues to yield significant discoveries as part of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s “Legacy for the Future” project. The initiative aims to uncover early ritual spaces, including figurines and structures used by some of the world’s first settled communities.

Excavation director Necmi Karul told Anadolu that settlement at Karahantepe began around 9400 BCE and lasted until the 8th millennium BCE. Researchers have identified three major settlement phases, evolving from round-plan structures to quadrangular buildings with rounded corners, and eventually to true-cornered constructions. All phases contained both public and domestic buildings.

Karul said the most striking recent discovery is a 17-meter-wide structure containing seated human figurines placed on the floor and embedded in the walls—evidence of a symbolic transition.

“These are very unique finds, showing that prehistoric people increasingly focused on human figurines over time, while earlier periods were dominated by animal symbolism,” Karul explained.

The building contains focal points featuring broad, three-tiered seating, echoing the layout of an odeon or amphitheater, suggesting it functioned as a venue for communal gatherings rather than a restricted ritual space.

Karul noted that the structure’s full layout will become clearer as restoration work continues and standing stones are re-erected in their original positions. Evidence collected so far shows that large groups gathered within the building, with human and animal figurines deliberately arranged at key locations.

“This allows us to draw certain conclusions about the function of these buildings. Had they been temples, their function would have been more limited. The primary purpose appears to have been bringing people together,” he said.

He added that this architectural concept can be seen as a precursor to later amphitheaters and odeons:

“With the advent of settled life, there was a need for spaces that facilitated communal living, which likely led to the construction of such buildings.”

Archaeologists expect further finds to deepen understanding of social and symbolic life in one of the world’s earliest settled regions.

The post Fethiye Times Midweek Edition – Thursday 27th November 2025 appeared first on Fethiye Times.

Origins of the Mevlevi Order

The Mevlevi Order traces its roots to 13th-century Konya, inspired by the teachings of the Sufi poet and philosopher Mevlâna Celaleddin Rumi (1207–1273). Following Rumi’s death in 1273, the order was formally established in Konya, then a thriving centre of art and learning under the Seljuk Turks. Rumi’s writings focused on love, inner peace, and spiritual growth. As he said: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

The Mevlevis embrace the idea of shedding worldly attachments to achieve harmony and union with God. For them, death is not an end but a celebration of this ultimate spiritual connection.

The Sema Ceremony

The Sema, the signature ritual of the Mevlevis, evolved from Rumi’s habit of whirling in ecstatic joy through Konya’s streets. Today, it represents a mystical journey of the soul’s ascent toward perfection. Dervishes can whirl for hours, their white skirts flaring as they spin, entering a trance-like state that brings them closer to the Divine.

As they whirl, dervishes raise their right hands toward the sky and extend their left hands toward the earth, symbolizing: “What we receive from God, we give to man; we ourselves possess nothing.” Their spinning reflects the rotation of the universe in the presence of God and the shedding of earthly ties.

Recognition and Celebration

In 2008, UNESCO named the Mevlevi Sema Ceremony a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.” Each year, Konya hosts a ten-day festival culminating on December 17th, the anniversary of Rumi’s death, often called his “wedding night.” Dervishes perform the Sema in circles, achieving inner peace and offering a breathtaking testament to centuries of devotion, love, and spiritual tradition.

Located in the Foça neighborhood, the Çalış Bird Sanctuary serves as both a migratory stopover during certain times of the year and a long-term home for many species.

Photography enthusiasts arrive early in the morning, blending into the landscape with camouflage clothing and setups, patiently waiting for the perfect moment. Those specifically aiming to photograph kingfishers prepare small perching branches near the water and reeds, hoping the swift birds will stop long enough to be captured in frame. In return, the sanctuary’s feathered residents frequently reward them with striking poses.

“The kingfisher is a unique bird and teaches us patience.”

Photographer Hamdi Yaman, who has been taking photographs for 20 years and focusing on birds for the past decade, told AA that the sanctuary becomes especially lively during migration season.

“In winter, we usually see white and grey herons, kingfishers, marsh harriers, and similar birds,” he said. “The kingfisher is a rather interesting and very fast bird. That’s why we place small branches for it to land on. When it lands, we take photos and videos. It’s a unique bird—it teaches us patience. If you wait long enough and remain invisible, you can get some very beautiful shots.”

Yaman added that birds perceive the presence of cameras as a potential threat, which is why photographers put effort into remaining unseen. “We set up tents or wear camouflage clothing to observe the birds without disturbing them,” he explained.

“I spend about three to four months of the year in this area.”

Photographer Şefik Akkurt, who has been photographing nature for nearly 30 years, shared his joy of spending time at the sanctuary.

“Observing the birds, tracking their movements, and capturing their beautiful poses brings me great happiness,” he said. “We have an osprey that winters here every year. Waiting all day for it to arrive relaxes me. When I go home with beautiful photos, I’m even happier.”

Akkurt said he dedicates several months each year to the sanctuary. “The kingfisher is a bird I admire. My photographer friends and I observe this swift bird here. Capturing its dive or the moment it catches a fish is one of the most rewarding experiences for a photographer. I haven’t yet captured the pose I dream of,” he added.

Determined, Akkurt said he would continue working toward achieving that perfect shot.

Fethiye’s Famous Motorcycle Cat Gofret Charms Istanbul with Colorful Adventures

Fethiye, MUĞLA – Gofret, the cat known across Fethiye for riding on her owner’s motorcycle, has taken her remarkable journeys to Istanbul—complete with vibrant costumes and her signature helmet. Adopted from Hakkari when she was just two months old, Gofret has been raised by her owner, Hatem Topcu, in a ground-floor garden home in Fethiye, where she quickly adapted to outdoor life and the sound of the motorcycle.

What began as short rides around the neighbourhood soon became a daily routine. Dressed in outfits ranging from police uniforms to bee and wedding costumes, Gofret confidently sits at the front of the motorcycle, secured in a custom-designed baby carrier and never missing a ride without her helmet.

“People often think she’s a toy at first glance,” Topcu said. “When they realize she’s real, they smile in surprise. We started sharing videos, and she quickly became popular.”

Their adventures recently took them to Istanbul, where they visited Garipçe, Üsküdar, Eminönü, Sirkeci and Taksim. Gofret caught the attention of tourists and locals wherever she went, often becoming a playful companion for children. While crossing the Bosporus by ferry, she and Topcu fed seagulls and enjoyed the city’s panoramic views.

Topcu described their travels as “a journey of friendship,” highlighting the deep bond they share. Their first long-distance trip covered 1,200 kilometers, and the duo has since expanded their journeys beyond Turkey, even touring parts of Europe—cementing Gofret’s reputation as an international “motorcycle cat.”

Safety remains a priority. Gofret is always carried safely at the front of the motorcycle and protected with her helmet on every ride.

Their Istanbul trip also led to helping a sick stray kitten, making the journey meaningful beyond sightseeing. “We try to help street cats whenever possible,” Topcu noted.

When not exploring busy cities, the pair enjoys fishing trips, watching sunsets and even swimming together during bungalow getaways—another activity Gofret has grown to love.

“Wherever I go, she comes with me,” Topcu said. “It’s important to introduce cats to these experiences early so they grow without fear.”

With her fur blowing in the wind and her unmistakable charm, Gofret continues to win hearts—on two wheels and across continents.

Istanbul Set for Faster Earthquake Alerts with New Seafloor Sensors

Istanbul – Turkey’s earthquake early warning network is poised for a major upgrade as new seafloor sensors planned for the Marmara Sea are expected to slash alert times to as little as three to six seconds, significantly enhancing Istanbul’s earthquake preparedness.

Officials from the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute detailed the upcoming improvements at a recent briefing. They noted that the current system issued its first alert 8.4 seconds after the magnitude 5 earthquake off Marmara on October 2.

The early warning system functions by detecting P-waves — the first, non-destructive signals that precede the more damaging S-waves — enabling alerts to be sent out within seconds. While modern land-based stations have reduced data transmission delays to 0.2 seconds, the absence of real-time seafloor sensors still creates a natural six-second gap as seismic waves travel from offshore fault lines to coastal monitoring stations.

Professor Nurcan Meral Özel, Director of the Institute, explained that 30 newly installed terrestrial stations have already cut average delays from five to six seconds down to two to four seconds, but eliminating the offshore lag is now the central goal. Istanbul aims to operate a “fast and reliable” warning system supported by modern equipment, renewed stations and extensive field testing.

The system, initially launched with a small pilot group, now serves 1,500 to 3,000 users. Plans include installing at least five fully online seafloor stations along the northern fault line, though deep-water construction costs remain a challenge.

Once upgraded, the system will trigger automatic safety protocols, including stopping metro and train services, closing gas valves, isolating electrical lines and supporting emergency procedures in hospitals and schools.

The Institute has also introduced a mobile early-warning app for public use, expanding access to faster alerts and potentially life-saving seconds ahead of shaking.

There is something unmistakably enchanting about London in December – a kind of quiet glamour that settles over the city like freshly fallen snow. As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, London transforms into a living Christmas postcard. Every street, building, and historic corner glows with the soft, golden light of the season. The city becomes wrapped not only in twinkling lights, but in emotion, memory, and a gentle sense of anticipation.

Walking through Mayfair or Belgravia feels like stepping into a cinematic winter tale. The air carries the scent of roasted chestnuts and the comforting spice of winter markets. Elegant townhouses are adorned with wreaths and velvet ribbons, while boutique windows sparkle like jewelry boxes – each one a carefully curated moment of festive storytelling. Harrods, Liberty, and Selfridges compete in a silent but spectacular contest of creativity, unveiling window displays that turn shopping into an imaginative experience. London doesn’t just decorate for Christmas; it performs it.

And then, of course, there is Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park’s annual transformation into a festive dreamland. With its glittering lights, whimsical rides, and endless stalls of chocolate-dipped treats, it captures the childlike joy of the season in the most playful, unapologetically magical way. Whether you’re gliding on the ice rink beneath the stars, wandering through the Christmas market with frozen fingertips, or simply watching families laugh their way through the sparkling chaos, Winter Wonderland embodies the pure, sparkling heartbeat of London’s December spirit.

Perhaps the most magical transformation happens at night. The moment the city lights are switched on – from Regent Street’s iconic angels to the cascading illuminations of Oxford Circus – London becomes a stage of light. Even the Thames seems to shimmer a little brighter. Families gather, friends reunite, and strangers pause for a moment to admire the beauty overhead. In a city often defined by its pace, Christmas slows everything down. It invites you to look up.

Yet what makes London’s Christmas truly unique is not only its visual spectacle, but its multicultural spirit. Here, festive traditions blend seamlessly: classic English carols echo through churches, Turkish baklava is exchanged between friends, European Christmas markets sit alongside Middle Eastern spices warming the winter evenings. London becomes a meeting point of cultures, each adding its own flavour to the season. It is a reminder that celebration is universal – that joy has many languages, all harmonising beautifully here.

For me, the heart of London at Christmas lies in the small, quiet moments: sipping hot chocolate in Covent Garden while lights dance above; escaping the cold inside a cosy Notting Hill café; wandering through Winter Wonderland’s charming chaos and letting yourself be carried by its energy; or simply watching the city move more slowly, wrapped in scarves, laughter, and festive spirit. It is a season that softens London’s edges and reveals its warmth.

Christmas in London feels like a promise: a reminder that beauty can be found even in the darkest months, that connection is the greatest luxury, and that magic is sometimes just a walk through Hyde Park away. It is a time when the city invites us to feel more deeply, to notice more carefully, and to carry forward that gentle glow long after the season ends.

What You Must Do in London at Christmas

1. Ice Skating Under Lights

The open-air ice rink is the heart of Winter Wonderland. Skating beneath thousands of sparkling fairy lights with live music playing feels straight out of a Christmas romance movie. Even if you’re not a perfect skater, the atmosphere alone is worth it.

2. Explore the Christmas Market

Wander through rows of wooden chalets selling handmade ornaments, artisan chocolates, candles, winter accessories, and festive treats. It’s the perfect place to pick up unique Christmas gifts.

3. Try Iconic German Sausages and Hot Chocolate

Winter Wonderland is famous for its bratwurst and pretzels. Don’t miss the cosy stalls for Belgian waffles or rich hot chocolate topped with marshmallows – ideal for warming up on a cold evening.

4. Visit the Magical Ice Kingdom

Step into a full indoor world sculpted from ice: frozen castles, crystal animals, glittering ice tunnels. At minus 10°C (14°F), the visuals are breathtaking – and perfect for photos.

5. Ride the Giant Wheel

Go at night for the most spectacular view – the whole of Hyde Park glowing under Christmas lights. It’s romantic, peaceful, and one of winter London’s must-see experiences.

6. Have a Drink in the Ice Bar

Everything, even the glasses, is carved from ice. Wrap yourself in the thermal cape provided and enjoy an icy cocktail inside this frozen wonderland.

7. Enjoy Funfair Rides

From classic carousels to adrenaline-pumping rides, the fairground energy is an essential part of Winter Wonderland. Even watching the lights spin around is irresistibly festive.

8. Catch a Christmas Show

Winter Wonderland hosts acrobatic circus performances and family-friendly shows. With friends or family, the circus adds an unexpected and delightful twist to the evening.

9. Walk Through Santa Land

Cute, nostalgic, and kitschy – Santa Land features colourful lights, elves, and a charming grotto. It’s fun for both children and adults.

10. Take Photos

Winter Wonderland is a visual feast: giant ornaments, sparkling arches, fairy lights, candy-cane colours. Visit at dusk for the most magical lighting.
