Days 12/13/14 - Calis Beach Fethiye
The past few days have been the most relaxing I can remember. It harkens back to the summer holidays I had in early high school, before the dreaded summer job. We stay up late, sleep in late and are in and out of the sun. The other day the temperature soared to a boiling 45 Degrees Celsius! That day was spent in and out of the Sea and pool, we had to mix it up. When that salt dries on your skin...
Yesterday, we went on a boat trip from Olu Deniz Beach (6th ranked beach in the world), where they took us to Butterfly Valley, Camel Beach, Cold Water Springs, St. Nicholas Island and the Aqua Marine Park. The boat was packed with locals, and every stop involved swimming and sightseeing. We grabbed a few loungers in the shade and set up shop. We dozed to the lull of the waves only to wake up in time to leap off the boat into the Turquoise waters. We were served an underwhelming lunch consisting of Kofte, salad and noodles. We shared a table with a charming Turkish family who spoke broken English and the little daughter wanted her picture taken with me. It was cute. For the remainder of the day, she followed me around and smiled when eye contact was made. Though the boat tour was pleasant, reaching places available only to water crafts, we felt that it was too long. We started at 9am and made it back to the apartment by 7pm. I pounded a few Efes and we ended our day with a deep slumber. Life is rough!!
Today is our last real day in Calis Beach as we leave tomorrow at 3:30pm for Rhodes. It's just a chill day, drinking on our deck and shopping to rid ourselves of the last few Lira in our pockets, are the only things on the agenda. Tomorrow we are bound for the Greek island of Rhodes leaving behind the Turkish Coast. Oh Turkey...
