The biggest street party in Fethiye – who would want to miss this?

The biggest street party in Fethiye – who would want to miss this? Every year the Calis Carnival party just gets better and better, with top performers, amazing floats and loads of partying people all taking to the streets in bursts of glittering colour. It’s Fethiye’s most famous street party, attracting immense crowds of people each year to the Fethiye area.

Entertainment includes the extravagantly colourful carnival parade, filled with feathered costumes and plenty of dancers, a craft exhibition, workshops, and the colourful extravaganza will culminate with a “Party in the Park” concert on the Sunday afternoon.

Carnival Weekend 2010 will take place on Saturday and Sunday 29/30 May and this year’s theme is “One World”.

There will also be a full programme of activities during the week leading up to Carnival Weekend as well as a fun packed calendar of fundraising social events throughout the year.

Pelicans grace the bay of Fethiye

Pelicans still grace the Fethiye Bay and openly play on the promenade, tossing objects around with their long beaks, not taking much notice of the passers-by that watch them.

Seen approximately 9 months ago, they have caused quite a stir in the Fethiye area, and are proving to be quite an attraction.

Rocket Man

A Swiss airline pilot, known as the Rocket Man, has now moved closer to becoming the first man to fly across the English Channel using a jet-powered backpack.

It was all a dream for Mr. Rossy until he made that dream a reality, but it has taken four incredible years for his design of a jet to make this dream a possibility. It was always his dream to fly like a bird and now that has become real he can only expand his ambition. When he was 30 he began learning how to freefall parachute jumping, he then went on to complete 1,200 freefall jumps.

When he first began his flying man project he was a Airline Captain with a commercial company, he strapped a pair of stubby wings and jumped out of an aircraft, freefalling for the loss of 1000ft in altitude
Mr. Rossy went on to make his jet even bigger by making the wings to 8ft using various metals, fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon fiber which then is strapped to his back. Read more
