Iberotel Sarigerme Park Mugla

Stayed here for a Week long Holiday after our university exams, nice place good food, it was an all inclusive resort, with fresh salads and cooked breakfast every morning, dinner ranged from barbe-qued fish to roast meats. organised trips down to the beach everyday and trips to the largets market in Fethiye. Also organised trips and tours around Kayakoyu 'the Ghost Town' altogether a fun relaxing trip cheaply organised by Thomas Cook.

... wandering through the markets and got caught in a massive down pour - we sought refuge in the spice market (not quite sure I could of tolerated the smell of the fish market for that long) and we stayed for tea with one of the shop owners and ended up having lemon and sugar pancakes while we waited for the rain to stop (pancakes with lemon pulp, not juice!! yum!)... The shop owner was running around with a broom pushing the ...

Koycegiz is a small village/town set on a lake - on the west coast of Turkey, inland from the Aegean Sea, famed for it's bird-watching and thermal baths.
I took a day-long boat tour the next morning (I unusually woke early, but that was more of a direct result of the ...

... the weather cleared up, so we went on a 12 Island boat tour. Our wooden boat had a sun deck, water slide, and diving platform. Of course, Tom's first order of buisiness was to dive off the platform, which turned into a graceful backflop instead! Our favorite stop was Aquarium bay, where we snorkeled. The water was so clear you could see 20 feet down, and there were fish all around. The last stop was red beach ...

... the mind already broke loose of the reins. The ‘no ejaculation’ part of my celibacy practice went flying out the window, my yoga practice was not as focused, and I started drinking coffee.


The August Storm
And then I left Cirali and traveled along Turkey’s magnificent turquoise coast having lovely experiences. Somewhere in the background, however, that familiar childhood conversation of “I’m all alone”, and “ ...

... hanging from a parachute. Just peaceful gliding down to the beach. The view was spectacular. I definitley enjoyed it, and it was a great price. It was over before I knew it. Landing was also super easy. Just take a few steps and you're done! The truck ride up was the scariest part of the whole excursion! Then we just hung out at the Buzz Bar and drank horribly overprice smoothies. Took some more photos of the gorgeous water, then back to Kayakoy. A memorable day.

... in the middle of having him get us around a Lycian sarcophagus that was sticking out of the water like a small little rock-island, we were ready to finally "communicate" about not-communicating or co-ordinating! If we had to do this trip over again, I would, but insist that you would be in a small group esp. when you're paying 50 Turkish Lira. The itin. was perfect once you get out on the waer. The water is very much sheltered from the open sea ...

... a hotel with all the rooms overlooking the sea but every day the scenery changes. For those who prefer a different view each day and are prepared for the changing moods of Mother Nature then a holiday on a gulet is the perfect solution. You only need casual wear; non slip foot wear, your swimming gear ,a sun hat, some T-shirts and shorts, a sweater for cool evenings and for excursions and climbs blue jeans and strong footwear. Instead of one large suitcase, we ...

... After breakfast , set off along the coast of the Fethiye Peninsular for lunch in a secluded bay then continue to cruise with Butterfly Valley and Ölüdeniz . Overnight is spent at Aya Nicola Island. Day 3 : An early start for Yeşilköy, for breakfast and time to swim in this quiet bay surrounded by olive groves.
