During our recent trip to Fethiye, I took a walk along the Fethiye Marina while Jason went for a run.
The Yacht Boutique Hotel, where we were staying, was perfectly located along the marina and just a five-minute walk away from the downtown area. (BTW, I chose this hotel based on my blogging friends’ recommendations over at Turkey’s for Life.)

The weather could not have been better. The sun was shining. The morning air was a little crisp, but soon warmed up.
And this is what I found....
I’ve never seen a large sailboat being made like this one we found here in the Fethiye Marina. I was impressed by how the boat was taking shape. I wonder how long it takes to complete one like this. Does anyone know?
This man was repainting this small red/white sailboat in front of the large sailboat. |
Jason wanted to know the length of the boat so he started pacing it out by foot. A Turkish man walked by and said in English “42 meters.”
How funny! He knew exactly what we wanted to know! Of course, I’m sure it might have seemed a little strange to have two yabancılar taking photos up-close of these sailboats.
Oh well! I enjoyed myself while we explored the marina area.
Next stop: Ölüdeniz.

Me and Barry have just laughed out loud at the 42 metres! :)) That's Fethiye for you.
Beautiful photos!
Yes, it was pretty funny at the time too. =)
