Whilst I was recently in Turkey, Dalyan, we decided to take a day out to travel to a nearby collection of architectural ruins. At the bottom of our hotel was a river, across the other side of this river was an old man. His job, everyday, is to step onto his small wooden rowing boat … Continue reading
I always enjoy the flight on our way to a holiday destination abroad, I never travelled much as a child so this experience is awe inspiring to me now. On our way to Turkey I begged for the window seat again so I could take more photographs of the world above the clouds, I find … Continue reading
Two years ago my fiancé and I travelled to Turkey for our first holiday together. Despite the sheer staggering beauty of this amazing country I couldn’t control my sense of utter disappointment in the number of stray animals wandering the streets and countryside. The Turkish people are unable to drive enough money into animal control … Continue reading
One of the most impressive elements of Turkey when I travelled there in the summer was the extremely hard working nature of the Turkish people. From children to elderly, everyone chipped in and ensured the financial security of their families. No job being too small, people worked as almost everything from ferrying people across rivers … Continue reading
Fethiye was the last, and biggest, place I visited in Turkey during my week there. It’s a beautiful and hectic place with possibly the biggest attraction for tourists in the area, Fethiye Market.

It’s actually very difficult to walk around a place like Dalyan … Continue reading
Ortaca (Pronounced ‘Or-ta-ja’) is a run down little town a good 30-45 minute drive from Sarigerme in Turkey, it’s mainly the half-way point to most tourist attractions for the western holiday makers. When catching a dolmus, which is the Turkish equivalent of a bus, to any of the nearest tourist areas, you will firstly stop … Continue reading
Sarigerme was a very dry, hot and strange place for me, it was also where our hotel was for the week. The reason I found this place strange was due to the, in my opinion, disturbing contrast between the local people in the nearby town and the western tourists at the hotel complexes. I found … Continue reading
Recently, I travelled to Turkey on my first ever holiday abroad. Obviously this meant I had to break my flying virginity and climb on board a plane that would reach staggering heights at incredible speeds. Now for someone who’s been flying their entire lives this isn’t a massive deal but for a northern lad who’s … Continue reading
Among the things I did this summer was one of the most important to date, I went on my first holiday abroad. As I had no clue as to what I was doing with regards to booking a holiday over seas, I left all that to the expertise of my partner. She had been to … Continue reading
