Kale Otel Kas

... is this small, yachting/holiday/fishing village. The white-washed houses are built up against the cliffs and look down into the clearest and most turquoise water I have yet seen. We have a lovely campsite right on the water's edge. The days are warm enough to go for a swim and the evenings mild compared to inland Turkey. As this is probably one of the last chances to wear shorts and bikinis we extend from one night, to two…to six….before finally setting off for Istanbul.

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.

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.

From Pamukkale we headed down to Dalyan via an incredible mountain range. Rural Turkey seems to have many bullet holed road signs in amongst the goats and donkeys.

However, Dalyan is by far the most tourist oriented place we have visited and how Steve did not succumb to the "Full English Breakfast" signs is anyone's guess. That said, it is a stunning setting, based on a river with ancient tombs carved out of the rocks ...

... I responded.

The landing was so easy and smooth that I can’t recall if I even had to put any effort during the process. I guess Memet had perfectly taken care of all whatever needed to be done. The moment my feet touched the grounds of Ölüdeniz beach’s sidewalks; I had this immediate urge to go back up there once more! “In a Day?!”; The words of Memet’s response to my question earlier about the number of ...

... visiter aucune des tombes lyciennes et vous ferez le tour en moins d'1 heure ( vue sur les tombes creusées dans la falaise et amphithéâtre gréco-romain) pour la modique somme de 10 e !! Néanmoins, l'une des excursions sur la voie lycienne débute ici. Ballade trés agréable, quoique pas entretenue..A faire à plusieurs, c'est mieux si on se perd ! lol

... up and down the beach having a loud animated conversation into his hands-free cell phone. Is this really what we call progress? Anyway, some of the other highlights of the trip were the many secluded bays where we stopped to swim and snorkel, the quiet village of Kalekoy with its imposing hilltop castle, and the half an hour it took us to back our monster of a boat into a dock space in Kas, wriggling, shifting and pushing boats out of the way like a fat ...

... room!! While this was going on, we stopped twice for fresh squeezed orange juice, apple juice and our favorite, Fanta. After our shopping day, everybody simmered down and watched the big waves crashing onto the wall at Hera beach. The wind had roughed up the waves, and as they crashed into the waves, they made a huge splash onto the stairs where we had been sitting the day before.
