... stagnant water/mud... There was a heated pool to the side and people were 'quite literally' being hosed down before they were allowed to get in (various pool attendants took turns at holding the hose!!)...
When I returned the boat, we had been joined by an organised tour and a lunch of chicken curry (that famous Turkish cuisine!!) was served, whilst we sailed around we passed a couple of ...

I was really overdue my holidays, finally getting to take it in October and I just signed up to two weeks of not doing much in Turkey with a couple of friends in a group. For me though not doing much isn't my cup of tea so I took every chance to re-live my old Turkey memories, from food, sights, sea, dancing and ahem, yes the men, again :)

Please come back soon as I update all the stories from the two weeks. Thanks.

... tour to an island that will most likely also have undergone a similar transition.

Does this actually benefit the area? I have to assume that it does, that the number of tourists who travel through from cruise liners and package holidays enjoy the ability to simply relax away from home, thus bringing in vital income to the area. But I hope that areas that cater to the travellers market (for people like myself) is not ignored as ...

... became friends and even though I tried very hard to direct my mind elsewhere I just couldn’t help falling in love with him. He was beautiful in every way and the more I got to know him the more I loved him. I wanted to channel my thoughts towards “The man of my dreams that I’d like to manifest will be like him: rugged, sensitive, funny, mysterious, loving and playful!” Instead my mind was raging: “I don’t want ‘like him’ ...

... I started running. Barely starting to feel the wind crashing against my face, and before I knew it, my feet were dangling above the ground! In that precise moment, I could not know whether I should weep, scream or burst with laughter! It was remarkable feeling that I couldn’t quite comprehend; a mix of fear, joy, happiness, anticipation and freedom all bursting from inside out! At last, Memet started to warm up to me screaming with a big grin on his ...

Awoke near Pamukkale and paid a scandalous amount to get in. 10 pounds each to see some tepid pools of water. Even the initially striking karstic rock was pretty much covered in faint brown footprints. The extorsion didn't end there as it turned out that Cleopatra's Baths, the hot spring at the top was an additional cost. We thought we could get away with just paying for one of us to get in and then swapping the ...

... fee...the tour guide showed up an hour late...he also wasn't very good...thank you Fez.

Kristen, having taken years of Latin for reasons she still doesn't understand, was just thrilled to be at Troy. "If I had to translate the damned Aeneid over and over again and we are going to Turkey we are going to Troy!" Of course, there isn't actually that much to be seen at Troy. The city is roughly 10% excavated and the Turkish Government, according to our tour guide ...

... this in the same small coach. EVERYTHING we saw belonged to Greeks going back to the times of Alexander the Great. A very nice archeological theatre we saw was built in the year of 500 BC.

By the time the tour is over we have become friends with our tour guide whose name is Zinet. She comes from Kos but she is half Turk and half Greek, with a Greek nationality.

We ask her to recommend a nice place to eat something originally Turkish ...

This supposed to be the most beautiful beach in Turkey. And it was beautiful but on the other hand a bit crowdy. But we took our snurking equipment (glasses and a pipe) and we made a tour around the small island. We saw an octopus and a lot of fish - it was great. Tired but happy we came back to the hotel.
