I am so sad that this trip is almost over. All I want to do is go on another one and I’m already thinking about coming back to Turkey; all the things I’d like to do and all the people I hope I can get to come with me. Woke up at 6:30, bright [...]
Checked out of AtaPark Hotel in Fethiye, where I almost got trapped in the shower door – close call – and set off to visit the ‘ghost’ town of Kaya Köyü. This place really upset me. Up until 1923 over 6,000 people lived here. In 1923 they were all moved to Greece under [...]
After a 1 to 1-1/2 hour drive we arrived at Dalyan Çayi (river) for another boat cruise. First stop – ancient mud and thermal baths. I felt like I was back in Rotorua (New Zealand) although it’s quite a bit colder here and the scenery very different. Smell-wise they’re interchangeable. Lots of kitties here too [...]
Bye Bye Kaş, I’m leaving you for Fethiye. Pronunciation of words seems so easy now yet only a few weeks ago I was mispronouncing everything. I did a Skype call with my friend, Charlie, and I think every time I said the name of a place he corrected me. I know my feeble attempt at [...]
Still in Kaş where, from the terrace of our hotel, you can see the Greek Island of Kastellorizo. It appears to be close enough to swim to although it’d be a long swim (about three miles – Michael Phelps could do it in a few minutes). If I wanted to go there I’d have to [...]
Whoa, early start – 8:30 (a shock to the system, I’ve gotten used to 9:00). First up, Perge. I tell you, those Romans and Greeks really got around and boy oh boy did they build. It’s really a pity cameras weren’t invented until the last century because I’d love to know what things were really [...]
