Perdikia Hotel Fethiye

... was the market alright and I couldn't think of an item that wasn't on sale there!! It took me a good 90mins to walk through it and that was just the clothes!! that didn't include the section on food, spices or shoes and bags!! it was immense!! I managed to buy some long-sleeve clothes for the coming colder days (and places where I need to cover up) for next to nothing... and I had some more pancakes with lemon and sugar ;) <br>

(Engl&#305;sh follows)<br><br>Ou&#305;, imaginez-vous donc qu'on est alles fa&#305;re du paraglyd&#305;ng a part&#305;r de 7 000 p&#305;eds dans la montagne. C'est s&#305;mple... surtout pour mo&#305; (Jean) qu&#305; a&#305; peur des hauteurs... on nous attache a une sorte de gros parachute... on a un gu&#305;de avec nous... on cour sur le sommet de la ...

... 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 ...

... ght! The fam&#305;ly greeted us &#305;n the dark and prepared a wonderful meal wh&#305;ch was del&#305;c&#305;ous (and we were starv&#305;ng!). What a welcome from people who could only say one word &#305;n Engl&#305;sh (Welcome!). We were alone w&#305;th them, commun&#305;cat&#305;ng by s&#305;gn language and we wondered &#305;f people &#305;n our area would do th&#305;s &#305;f someone showed up one even&#305;ng!!

... a bush on the beach, the only shade we could find, until at 5 our ferry taxi was to take us back to town. We had decided the walk down the cliff was enough. We can tell you the ferry taxi back was unbelievably rough, maybe it would have been easier to climb the cliff. <br><br>That night when reaching our hostel we were so exhausted we dropped down into our unexpectedly comfortable beds and were out like lights. <br><br>Tomorrow we head to Rhodes.

... they just dont seem to give a damn about them, if these places were in Dublin we would be milking them for all worth. After scaling the cliff and outwitting the barbed fencing we ran (must have been the adrenaline running at this stage) down the old road for the 2km down to the harbour. Managed to look like we owned the place (or maybe they just saw the mad feckers legging it down the hill and were afraid to stop us) and plonked ourselves in some fancy resorts sun ...

... winzigen Hammams mit ihren betont rauen Massagen sind mal ein nettes Erlebnis, aber bleiben ein Witz, verglichen mit dem Raffinement der Anwendungen in modernen Wellness Anlagen. Aber macht man sich selbständig, erkundet die Landschaft und die antiken Stätten so findet man den Nikolaus und den Osterhasen. Je weiter man sich dabei von der zentralen Küste zwischen Antalja und Alanja mit den Steinsilos des Pauschaltourismus entfernt, desto zauberhafter wird die Sache.

... has a manproof fence with a concrete base, which is liberally sprinkled with yellow granules, presumably some sort of pest poison. There is a deep valley above the complex, with views right to the top of Baba Dag, and signs of a village perched on the edge of an escarpment. DP is glad she had a swim, as there is no access to the water. Stop for a rest on the first switchback in the steep climb to the seaward face of the mountain. From here ...

... we had to use the back roads, which are unpaved, dirt roads. Our driver always came third or fourth in the caravan, and the result was that we ate dust for almost half the trip. It was really disgusting. The landscape was dry as an old petrified bone, and the white sheathes of dust that each jeep kicked up created a wall so solid you couldn't even see. I put on my sunglasses and attempted to breath through my wet towel. By the time we got off the dirt roads (and there were ...

... grabbing "volunteers" to help out with his show. This was followed by a spectacular display of fire-poi by Ziggy, one of the guys that worked there. It was spectacular. He too invited some of us to give it a go (Gil gave it a shot - see pics) but we proved no match for him. We left Koycegiz the next morning heading for Saklikent gorge, which is an 18km canyon, formed by the sliding of the base plates and the erosion of the water. We had lunch by the water on tables, half ...
