Recognized by UNESCO as World City of Gastronomy, Hatay in Southeast Turkey is known for its rich, delicious cuisine that acknowledges a multicultural identity inherited from its location on the ancient Silk Road.
Mozaik Bahçe, specializing in Hatay cuisine, is a firm favourite in Fethiye with both residents and holidaymakers.
Located in the centre of Fethiye, Moziak Bahçe combines a mouthwatering array of delicious dining options with a unique ambience set amongst shady trees and canopies.
Add to that a warm welcome from owners Hüseyin and Deren Karasu and the Mozaik Bahçe team and you’re in for a culinary delight.
Along with restaurants all around the world, Mozaik Bahçe had to close its doors due to the novel coronavirus. As the measures are eased, those same restaurants are starting to reopen – with some differences to pre-coronavirus dining.
Mozaik Bahçe has reviewed how they will serve their customers, taking into consideration and implementing the new measures, and they re- opened on 10 June.
