Sun, Rain, and a Guy Named Spaz
... got married in Mexico. For the next 24 hours a rain storm that can only be described as biblical tore through south eastern Turkey. Lightning ripped open the sky the entire time and the thunder was so loud that you couldn't even hear the calls to ...
Antalya
... around the old town. It had well-preserved city walls and a small bazaar on steep, cobblestone streets. I just didn't think Antalya was anything special and would have been fine leaving it off the itinerary. On the outskirts of Antalya are a couple ...
Christmas Spirit?
Hard to believe there's only 10 days until Christmas. Being in an Islamic country there aren't the reminders. No commercials, no decorations, no store displays, no Sears Catalogue, no cards, no carols, no snow, no gingerbread. Just ...
Gullet Alaturka & Assortment of Strange Bedfellows
... the new movie is set in China but the Chinese refused permission to film there, so some of the scenes were being filmed in Turkey. In fact they were shooting right here in Fethiye today and the day before with full security for a sailboat scene at the ...
Should I stay or should I go?
... and support each other, and it was certainly not the case here. So as I continue drifting west on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey, I'm focusing on the many things I'm grateful for and appreciate in my life. And oh, what a glorious life I have, and ...
Piratehood, Kas, and Sailing the High Seas
I reckon I could get very used to the pirates life. Not so much the pillaging, destroying, cannonballing, cutlassing, keel-hauling side of the gig, but definitely the 'sitting on the dundeck of a boat all day and taking in the glorious sun' aspect. That ...
myra and kas**
In English En espanol German KAS Petite ville portuaire trés agréable, avec toutefois des allures de côte d'azur, turques au taquet et énormément d'étrangers possédant ici une résidence secondaire.Un peu trop de touristes donc et un ...
Kas
The flames at chemira were quiet cool, it was a good 30min walk up a dark bush track, but unlike a few people we had torches. It looked just like someone had lit a camp fire, but there were no coals or wood, just rock and a flame come from the rock. ...

Living the Hippie lifestyle
After spending the night in Fethiye, we headed to Olympos. On the way, we stopped at the Kaputas beach. It is a spectacular beach with clear blue water and clean fine sand. There weren't many people with only one yacht nearby. The sun was beating down ...
When the Rooster Crows, it is Time for Bed
Greetings once again from Turkey! I apologize in advance if this looks a bit funny when you read it because I am using a Turkish keyboard and some of the letters are different. We typically won`t be posting this frequently, but we have some more time ...
I Like Your Face

Alone in Patara
We pulled up into the bus station and the driver announces we have arrived. What we can't even see the water??? In a split second we are touted by a local guesthouse owner who convinces us to stay in his place for the night. We wait ...
Living in the forest
We have moved on from oddly shaped rocks to treehouses...it's a rough life! For 12 Euro a night we got a treehouse with our own bathroom, plus Brekkie, dinner and free tea and coffee during the day...the only other costs are for snacks, internet and ...
Victim to the captains games
Swaying left, right, in the open waters. Protected by the Turkish blue medusa eye, we will conquer. Staring out to infinity, to much time to think. I miss my family. Visited the city of Kas. Anchored in a bay close by and swam till I became pruny. ...
People come and go
... all in. Crystal clear blue waters, gulets, surrounded by mountains, and a fresh breeze. My frozen water bottle slowly drips. I'm thirsty. We share earbuds and listen to silversun pickups. 1.5 hour bus ride to Antalya. 10 hour overnight bus ride to ...
Olympos: Lycian Way 'Round the Cape
Well, what can be said about a long, exhausting, all-day hike? My idea of fun, I guess. Most of the story is in the pictures and the commentary that accompanies them in the slide show. Start it by clicking on the first picture (or any picture, for that ...
First city break since Istanbul
... animals or insects or even the sounds of the trees moving in the wind, doesn`t die down at night! We visited the gates of Antalya. And took a short walk in the city, to the park, where you can get a fantastic panoramic view of the city and the ...
Everything comes to an end
Last day sailing the Mediterranean. Extremely hot bus ride to Olympos. Arrived at the tree houses of Bayram and reunited with my friends from Fethiye. Saw Eloise and Laura for a quick minute and said our goodbyes as they were heading off to cappadocia. ...
Blue cruise to Olympos
... ignored us when we departed from his gulet so we thanked the sweaty chef and caught a bus down to Olympos on Turkey's southern coast. The beach was fantastic surrounded by mountains and ancient Byzantine, Ottoman and ...
Beach time on the Med Coast
Our next few days were spent in Olympus which included a happening backpacker scene, some roman ruins, and the first beach I've hit since Australia. Oludeniz followed and the beach time continued. Some others on the truck went paragliding here but I was ...
Because we weren't comatose enough
After a few very stressful days on the Blue Cruise from Fethiye (sarcasm) we decided to take a couple beach days in the ultra chill village of Olympos - our brains are officially now mush by the way. When we stepped off the bus in Olympos the plan was to ...
taking the plunge
Yesterday I went on a day charter scuba diving! We left at 11 am, on this huge dive boat, TP, you would kill for it! It could probably hold 40 divers and all their gear no prob. Anyway, we headed out about 20 minutes out of the harbour, to this secluded ...
Believing in Karma
... I was going to spend my time in Syria. I still need to get a visa for that country. My alternatives are to get one in Ankara (Turkey), Tehran or at the border which isnt an official way of getting a Syrian visa but I learned it could be done (if they like ...
Antalya - just checking in...

Let's see Santa.
... Santa Clause and see where he preached. It took all day to see these sites. It was a bit of a drive on the south side of Antalya. But it was well worth it. We are getting on the bus at midnight to go to Bodrum. It's an overnight bus that is 8 hours. ...
