Hi John
Not quite Fethiye but I live in Gocek and we do have an office in Fethiye.
Are you there all year round?
Cheers...........

I went there last year but was not impressed by the explosion of development. Time to go looking elsewhere for paradise.

Yup. Overdevelopment is a problem in that area. The old chestnut of supply and demand with a big chunk of greed mixed in.
My girlfriend first went to Hisaronu in the mid eighties; one hotel and a shop. She stayed with a local family for a few days as her budget didn't stretch to hotels. It's now a hideous caricature of a British holiday resort with Eastenders style pubs and all the other associated nonsense.
Fethiye appears to have escaped a lot of the overdevelopment and certainly where we are, in Karagozler, it couldn't be developed. Unless some enterprising Turk decides to start selling caves! There was talk last year about moving the boatyard at the bottom of our road to release the land but that fortunately seems to have died a death.
David - we're not there all year round although I work in Fethiye regularly. I do general IT installation and support with a bit of web design thrown in. I'm slowly building up a client base in Turkey so I don't reckon it's going to be too long before the amount of time we spend in UK starts to decrease even further.

Hi John
Drop me a line next time you are here and we can get together in Fethiye sometime. With the new office in Fethiye I am there fairly regularly but am based in Gocek mainly. Could have done with you yesterday rather than banging my head against a wall trying to set up the new network in the office................cheers for now.

No probs David, will do. LOL - thats funny, I've been doing the exact same thing myself, banging my head that is! We bought a load of wireless kit and I set up a wireless network at our flat in Dundee. Never touched wireless gear before and had a right old time getting it set up. Got there in the end and now a definite WiFi fan!
What do you do in Fethiye?

Hi John
I run a yacht brokerage based in Gocek and with satellite offices in Marmaris and now Fethiye. All good fun! We have been in Gocek for 5 years now and was in Marmaris earlier ( from 1990).
Wi Fi - the biz, now that it is working here. Say hello to Dundee for me..
