Hello from the Gulf of Hisarönü route! Before diving into where to eat, I wanted to briefly share something about the area… This route is famous for its natural beauty, crystal-clear sea, and delicious cuisine. It’s like a natural wonder. You can experience a perfect color transition from green to blue. Its bays invite you to tranquility and peace, offering an unforgettable holiday experience.

One of my favorite bays is Selimiye, which is like a postcard village. Its nature, sea, local flavors… In the evenings, you can watch the most beautiful colors of the sunset here. Also, you shouldn’t end your holiday here without tasting the local dishes prepared with fresh seafood at Selimiye’s restaurants. Selimiye is an ideal destination for those looking for a holiday close to nature and tranquility.

Now, let’s talk about my second favorite, Datça, which attracts nature lovers with its turquoise sea and pristine bays. One of the most enjoyable things to do in Datça is to take a walk along the coast in the evening after spending a day surrounded by natural beauty.

You can spend time in a tranquil and peaceful environment surrounded by unique natural beauty. While enjoying the sea, you can also have an unforgettable experience trying local flavors. You can immortalize this unique experience by sharing it with your loved ones. While discovering these unique beauties, you can embark on new and exciting adventures with your friends.

Hisarönü Bay is known not only for its natural beauty but also for the region’s rich and diverse cuisine. The local flavors you can taste at local restaurants will make your holiday unforgettable. If you want to explore different cultures and taste flavors with your group of friends, you are in the right place.

Let’s talk about where you can eat around here. In the past, only quiet restaurants were recommended in these areas, but now the situation has changed a bit. Especially after Covid, there has been a migration from big cities to the region, so the age group here has become a bit younger and investments have increased inversely. Especially in the Datça region, new generation cafes, restaurants with new style foods, and places where you can have fun in the evening have started to open.

For the last 5 years, this region, which has hosted many guests, has started to embrace innovations more and more every day. Whether you love nature, entertainment, luxury, or casual places, you can see this place as a common location for all of them.

Here are my favorite restaurants in this area:

• Sardunya Restaurant / Selimye
• Bozburun Yacht Club / Bozburun
• Mayan Datça / Datça
• Bizim Ev Datça / Datça
• Hollandalı Ahmet’in Yeri / Kumlubük

Hello from the Lycian Way, one of the world’s top 10 longest routes. Stretching 540 km, this trail is a journey through history, with numerous ancient cities along the way. Situated between Fethiye and Antalya, it’s a must-visit for adventurers.

Pinara Ancient City

This ancient city takes its name from the Lycian word “Pinara,” which means round. Despite being heavily damaged by earthquakes, you can still see its worth-visiting structures like baths and a theater. According to mythology, it was one of the six important Lycian cities with three votes in the period. Also, make sure your phone is fully charged when visiting this ancient city, as there are plenty of beautiful sights to experience.

Sidyma Ancient City

At the entrance of the city, you’ll be greeted by high monumental tombs and magnificently decorated columns. Despite being a settlement area nearby, nature has taken over this city. I would like to emphasize that you will encounter temples dedicated to Lycian gods, large rock tombs, and walls in this city.

Xanthos (Ksantos) Ancient City

Since Xanthos has witnessed many wars throughout history, there are not many structures left today. Most of the artifacts from here are exhibited in the British Museum. This ancient city awaits you with a few remaining sarcophagi, a theater, and a church.

Pydnai Ancient City

Located west of the world-famous Patara Beach, this city contains a small piece of wall that has survived to this day. The city is situated on a small hill.

Letoon Ancient City

This city, founded in honor of Leto, who was impregnated by Zeus according to mythology, is located in the center. It has three temples. The theater from the Hellenistic Period inside is one of the rare structures that have survived to this day.

Antiphellos Ancient City

Since Kaş is built on top of this ancient city, there are not many structures that have survived to this day. One of the most important structures in this ancient city is a sarcophagus made of a single block. You can also see the ancient theater here.

Phellos Ancient City

This city is considered a defensive city, and the waters surrounding its acropolis are among the structures that must be seen.

Apolonia Ancient City

The city, built on the Kekova road, is located on a rock formation resembling the letter L. There is a Byzantine church in some of the surviving walls. Besides, one of the most interesting and must-see structures is a tomb monument with 6 prism-shaped bodies, a bathhouse, and a theater.

Aperial Ancient City

The ruins of this city are located at the tip of a hill descending towards the sea. And you can experience these ruins on a holiday by sea. There are silver coins written in the Lycian language in this city. Although the city’s quay is submerged, seeing these structures from the sea will enchant you.

Simena Ancient City

Located in Kaleköy between Kaş and Finike. Its castle is still standing today. There are also rock tombs submerged underwater here. Access to this place is only possible by sea. Due to earthquakes, half of this city is underwater, and the other half is above water.

Olympos Ancient City

The name Olympos means high mountain in Anatolian languages. Thanks to the Akçay river that passes through the middle of this ancient city, it divides the city in two and turns it into a port city. This city is very popular among many vacationers. Our favorite part, especially, is seeing the perfect transition from green to blue.

In short, we can say that the Lycian Way is a magnificent harmony of nature and history. On this route where you will experience a flawless transition from green to blue, historical structures await you. If you prefer the sea route like us, please click here.

Turkey is a city full of history, culture, and delicious food. One of the must-try dishes in Turkey is Turkish kebab. Kebab has been an essential part of Turkish cuisine for years and has recently gained prominence in the world of gastronomy.

1- Çağ Kebabı: 

Çağ kebabı, one of Turkey’s most successful traditional dishes, is a meal specific to the Erzurum, Kars, and Artvin regions. The layering of different parts of lamb, simple yet effective marination, and cooking over wood fire add great value to Çağ Kebabı.

2- İskender Kebabı:

İskender kebabı is one of the most classic and popular dishes of Turkish cuisine. We can say that İskender kebab is the most beautiful form of meat doner. It is a dish specific to Bursa. Traditional minced meat doner, a few pieces of meat, tomato-based special sauce, yogurt, and the soft pita bread at the bottom of the plate.

3- Ali Nazik Kebabı:

We can say that Turkish cuisine and Gaziantep are an inseparable duo. Gaziantep is one of the strongest centers of Turkish gastronomy. I can even explain it to you like this, you go and come back with a minimum of 3 kilos… As for Ali Nazik kebab, it is made with lamb meat and sauce prepared with roasted eggplant, yogurt, garlic, and salt. Although it is very laborious to make, it is a very popular dish loved by everyone in Turkey.

4- Beyti Kebabı:

Here we are with another indispensable dish of Turkish cuisine. Beyti kebab has an interesting recent history. Its name comes from Beyti Güler, the owner of the popular Beyti restaurant in Istanbul. In 1961, inspired by the meat preparation method of Swedish butcher Möller during his visit to Switzerland, Beyti Kebabı is made by grilling minced or lamb meat on a skewer, wrapping it in lavash, and finally serving it with domates sauce and yogurt.

5- Şiş Kebab:

It is our most famous and well-known kebab type. Although it is made in many locations in Turkey, the best is still made in Adana province. It is much easier to make than our other kebabs. All you need to do is to grill the diced meat on a metal or wooden skewer.

We recommend not leaving Turkey without trying our kebab, which is one of the most important symbols of Turkish cuisine. Since it is a dish found on the main menu of many restaurants in Turkey, trying these flavors is quite easy.

There are many different types of kebabs prepared with different methods and ingredients. Kebab not only satisfies your taste buds but also tells a story of centuries-old culinary tradition, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of Turkey.
