So. Coming back from Heaven and Hell with the military police. They w
ere nice enough to let us take a photo which I've just posted to the right.
After the day at Kizkalesi we went up to Silifke Kalesi which is an old Byzantine fortress high on the hill overlooking silifke for dinner. Lucky for us there was an anniversary happening up there including a live band and lots of very friend
ly turkish people who were more than happy to get us up & teach us all some turkish dancing. It was heaps of fun :)
After Silifke we travelled on to Antalya - a huge city with a population of 500,000 and over 8 million tourists visiting every year - mostly German apparently. It had gorgeous cobblestone streets with old houses everywhere! We were here for 2 nights. On the first day we went to the Archealogical Museum which has more than 5,000
archaeological works in 14 exhibit halls. Amazing stuff. I've posted a pic of one of the Roman statues on the right.
Af
ter spending half a day at the museum we had a lovely lunch by the water spent the rest of the day meandering through the town taking in the sights and some turkish tea here and there.
The next day we headed on to Kas (pronounced Kash), which is a gorgeous little village tucked between mountains sitting on the coast. The town is beautiful with lots
of narrow streets and old greek ottoman houses all sitting on the water. You can see a pic of Kas at sunset on the right. Gorgeous!
While we were there we went on a boat trip to visit the sunken cities around Kekova Island. See pic of richard snorkling amongst the ruins and a pic of us on the boat also on the left.
Moving along, we drove to Fethiye and on the way stopped at the ancient ruins at Patar
a (see pic o
n the right of the old theatre) and enjoyed some time at the famous Patara beach. Another beautiful spot.
We then moved on to Saklikent gorge which is an 18km crack in the mountains. The first part of the gorge is a raised walkway into the gorge and then on to the gorge proper. We then waded on through icy water and over many rocks up the gorge. You can see a pic of richard on the right wading thr
ough the water. It was an amazing place with huge walls of rock on either side.
Anyway we then drove the rest of the way to Fethiye which is where we are now. Today we have caught a Dolmus to Oludeniz which has one of the best beaches in the area & Richard has just finished his paraglide. See pic on him paragliding.
Hope you're all happy and smiling! I'm off to grab lunch.
