Only by chance did we find Kaya Wine House, well off the beaten track.. by a hire Car. We spent 3 hours lapping up the Atmosphere and views, anybody wishing fine food, wine and relaxation, this treat is not to be missed.....

THIS PAGE IS REALLY GOOD I MUST VISIT FETHIYE NEXT TIME I COME TO TURKEY, ALTHOUGH THE PARAGLIDING LOOKS A BIT HAIR-RAISING.

Thanks for the paragliding tip. I am learning and it is good to see where I can visit later. Certainly looks like a good bet.
