Amphora Kas

We had a heck of a rainstorm last night in Olympos; but it didn't delay the plan to travel westward on the Med. So, here we are in Kas, a beautiful quiet sleepy town with a yacht basin filled with sailboats. <br><br>The hostel is Beautiful. I think the best I have ever stayed in. And the price isn't too bad, although it is the off season. This Might be It- the place I have been looking for. But, of course, it's too early to tell.<br><br>

... 305;n au so&#305;r. La nourr&#305;ture cont&#305;nue d,etre fort agreable au gout, le logement ... ok la plupart du temps sauf hier so&#305;r ou l,on a couche dans la grange chez un &#305;mmam avec un beau gros scorp&#305;on qu&#305; nous a surve&#305;lle toute la nu&#305;t! Vous verrez la photo de cette fam&#305;lle dans la montagne. On rencontre 3-4 marcheurs par jour seulement donc on est seuls dans la montagne ...

... the town. We enjoyed all the sites by boat including the nearby mud baths, lake and beach that's so gorgeous even the turtles chose it as a breeding ground!<br><br>Leaving our most comfortable Dalyan guesthouse we headed further along the coast to the peace and isolation of Kabak and our "simple" accommodation, described by Steve as a B&amp;Q shed on stilts, but with a better view than most!<br><br>Views are great but ...

The island of Kastellórizo (or "Meis", as the Turkish call it) is in swimming distance from Kas, Turkey and hours from the Greek mainland. The many boat lines from Kas to Kastellórizo run mostly for the sole purpose of visa runs for visitors who want to extend their three months visa. While I still have a month left on my visa I chose to join my new friend Francsis, a fellow yoga teacher I met in Çirali, who had to extend her visa. 40 TL later (round ...

... my head. I had 2 options; either to go with the rational part of my brain and forget about it, or, submit to my emotional brain waves and seize the moment. Not being able to resist the adrenaline rush pumping into my veins, I ended up booking a flight that is scheduled to take place the next day in the afternoon.<br><br>On the next day, at the agreed upon time and location, I sat on street sidewalks right in front of the tourism agency waiting for my pick ...

... blue sea. <br>Anc&#305;ent Roman c&#305;t&#305;es, tombs and stone amp&#305;theatres are speckled about the h&#305;lls&#305;de and locals bustle around town on m&#305;n&#305; scooters and b&#305;cycles. Tour&#305;sts flock here (many of them are Br&#305;ts who fa&#305;thfully return to Kas every year or Russ&#305;ans who seem to be everywhere &#305;n Turkey) for the deep sea d&#305;v&#305;ng, Canyon&#305;ng, Kayak&#305;ng and boat cru&#305;ses ...

... the ancient city of Kekova was devastated by an earthquake that broke off the edges of the island... dropping parts of the city into  the sea... after we crossed a wide open expanse... headed off to a large sea cave... pretty cool to kayak right into it and get a look... heading out we stopped off at a bay to pull up to shore and grab a bite to eat... our guide laid out a meal of fresh fruits, vegetables, bread and other Turkish mainstays... on our last leg back we cruised ...

... myself starting to tip over but somehow I never took a bath (thankfully for my camera!). Our first stop was Kekova Island where our welcoming committee consisted of several wild goats. They were quite tame and would let us pet them but they were more interested in what food we had for them (I had to apologize for being out of PowerBars!). I went for a swim in search of sea turtles. No luck with the turtles but I did see sea ...
