We start off by carrying the canoes from the beach of Olymp...

March 24 Tuesday Sunny today, we are out to see the remainder of the ruins that we did not walk back to see yesterday. We go into the church area, there is red rock used to form a cross in the back wall. It must have been quite a large building and there are other remains further back of additional rooms and tombs. There are several building rui...

She says: "Note in high summer it pays to be extra vigilant over personal hygiene while staying here as every year visitors wind up getting sick." -Lonely Planet warning re: Olympos. Yeah - not the kind of place I would normally be rushing to visit. But it's Olympos, and everyone under 35 who tours Turkey goes there, and the oddity of a little c...

Tuesday (16 Oct) The final day of the yacht cruise started with an early morning swim. It was cold out but the water was fantastically warm. It was the perfect cure to the slight hangover from the night before! After a couple of hours we got to our final harbour destination where we would all be getting off. The 4 days had gone so quickly and I ...

Who would have ever thought that a re-make of the tree house that the Swęss Famęly Robinson lived in would exsist...well it does and we stayed in one of them last night. A whole heap of small tree houses linked into one another with stair cases here and there and a river running along the side. We have ended up in Olympos and explored the ruins ...

The cruise has ended and im nursing a slight hangover but am definately feeling much better now that ive arrived back on terra firma. Olympos is a world heritage listed area and therefore can have no solid buildings and so all accomodation options here are of the treehouse variety. Im staying at a place called Bayrams which is very cheap and inc...

From Fethiye we hopped on board a yacht (called a gulet) for what was probably the hardest part of our trip. Every day was a challenge, we had to sunbathe, read, sunbathe, eat, sunbathe, jump off the side of the boat into the beautiful blue-green waters of the Mediterranean, sunbathe, eat etc etc. You get the picture. It was tough going for sure...

From Istanbul we headed south along the coast towards the Mediterranean Sea to work on our tans (although some people at home think we're dark enough!). On the way, we passed through some famous sites, including the ancient city of Troy. Troy is little more than a hole in the ground these days, so instead we made a visit to the nearby town of Ca...

Olympos - I'd been looking forward to this for months. Laura from Goa was coming over to meet me for a week, and I couldn't wait to see her again. Plus, I'd heard a few stories about Olympos, this idyllic backpacker haven nestled amid ruins on the Mediterranean coast, and it sounded like just the escape from backpacking that I needed. It had bee...

It was a bit of a shame to skip off the boat a day early but the weather wasn't great for swimming and the bottom line was we had to move on - a couple more stops on Mystery's itinerary had to be made no matter how little time we had left. That we probably saved quite a few brain cells was a small bonus. The first of these scheduled stops would ...
