Ahmet's Lokanta Photo

Photographer’s Note

There are lots of small pubs in the "nearly endless" number of bays in the Golf of Fethiye.

Most of them offer a small quay with a ground mooring to attract clients. Some with outstanding food quality offering à la carte service, some very limited choice - like Ahmet's Lokanta.

You can visit him only by boat, there is no eletricity and no fresh water. He offers chicken in many ways, sometimes fish, depending if he or his brother Gazi cought some.

The beverages (the ices for cooling too) they have to "import" via boat. The prices are higher than in Göcek or Fethiye; a fact, some people do not accept. But on the other hand you sit under the olive trees and enjoy nature, no roof available...

If there are more than 10 people around, it's overcrowded!

Well, on the pic it's simply full; a beautiful place to relax and to dream; a small paradise!

It'a one of my favorite places...

Nothing to say, that sea water is absolutely clear; crystal clear!

One more of your well captured scenes which maybe only the people with sailing boats can enjoy in the Turkish Mediteranian coast...And one more time I will say....the summer is far away:-)
Nice compo Knut and to frame the scene with the vine branches is a very effective idea.
Very well seen and captured...

Oef Knut, what a very nice place for pausing, with the lovely sail boats on the background, middle in the summer in the shadow with a cool glass. The blue water and the mountains and sunine in the background, I think a holiday Knut.

A couple of glass of Raki with ice and appetizers. This is what I think at my first glance..:))) Well capture of a nice and familiar place Knut. Good light and shadows. Framing with trees in front of the perfect blue looks very good. Well done. Thanks for sharing...
