Aqua Princess 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>

... mean long hikes and this was no exception. We were perched on the hill above the beach and set out one day in search of a swim in the sea, 1 1/2 hours later down a long and winding road we reached the beach and cooled off, on the way back we chose the shorter path - what a mistake - it only took us 1/2 an hour but it was so steep and challenging we were both on the verge of death by the time we reached the village. Luckily ...

... I can now say that I've been to Greece (Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but aren't all borders and countries ridiculous to begin with?) Despite its proximity to Turkey the architecture on the island is undoubtedly Greek. So are the prices, which are almost double from the Turkish side. Nevertheless, it was lovely to roam the little village their, eat a Greek salad and stewed octopus at a charming little restaurant with especially friendly owner ...

... ride to arrive. Taking a quick glance at my arm watch, I realized that my ride had been already 30 minutes late &#8211;which seemed to be a common conduct among all tours, buses or dolmus (mini-bus) in Turkey, the thing that you get used to after a while and start incorporating within your time planning. My pick-up ride had finally arrived. With much excitement, I jumped into the dolmus and immediately, it started its journey to Ölu&#776;deniz. The sight ...

... is in your blood... Kas has been dubbed the outdoor recreation area of Turkey... and for good reason... the mountains are steep and rocky... the waters deep and perfect for scuba diving... and the many islands off shore are excellent for exploring... not to mention one of the world's best spots for para-sailing... which we did not do... maybe another time... Our journey back to Ankara was long... beautiful... but uneventful.... just the way any driver on any Turkish road hopes it to be...

... for the first time. They were eel-like and somewhat creepy looking. We were quickly back in our kayaks to see the Sunken City. It is called that because a Byzantine city fell into the sea after a series of earthquakes in the second century AD. We were able to see foundations of buildings, staircases and the residential part of the ancient town submerged under 6m of water. Law prohibits any swimming or stopping in the ...
