Hello Lyn. Thank you for your recent Facebook post about helping Fethiye residents to find out about forthcoming events, me being one such resident.
Today, you have posted about a Gömbe sandalmaker in Fethiye town. Please can you send me a Google pin location so I can visit his workshop. Thank you, Anne Anderson.

Comment on Turkish fish cakes with preserved lemon yogurt by Lyn Ward

In reply to Anna Anderson. In Turkey, you can substitute cod or haddock with other white fish like sea bass, flounder, or sea bream (gilt-head bream) to maintain a similar flaky texture. More local options include whiting or hake (a member of the cod family). We can't recommend a particular stall on the Fethiye fish market as it is better to check out the fish available on the day. The stallholders are all friendly and helpful and will also clean the fish for you if required. Best regards 🧿

Thank you for this lovely sounding recipe. Please can you tell me the most used name for haddock and cod in Turkish and also a recommended stall in the fish market in Fethiye where I can buy this type of fish. Thank you 🙏

Comment on Discover Turkey: hiking the ways and trails by Lyn Ward

In reply to Thomas. Due to ongoing high temperatures and increased forest fire risk, entering forested areas along the Lycian Way is prohibited from June 15 to October 31 in the Muğla region and other parts of Turkey. Hikers should expect extremely hot weather, dry conditions, and the possibility of encountering authorities like the Gendarmes who enforce these closures, so postponing your trip to November or a later date is strongly recommended.

We are planning to visit Fethiye for a few days during the last week of September 2025 and then hike the Lycian Way. On several online forums we found that access to the forest is prohibited due to fires. Does this mean that the Lycian Way is closed? Or is it still possible to hike it?

A very nice report! In addition, I would like to point out a website dedicated specifically to doctors in Turkey – http://www.medinturkey.de. It is a helpful resource for travelers who also wish to make use of medical services
