    Day 13 - the long trip home

    18 Julai 2023, Wales ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    A normal day, more or less. We were able to keep our room until 3, so had breakfast, then by the pool for a few hours. Back to the room for showers and drinks, then across the road to the restaurant where we had a nice chicken with parmesan. Taxi to the airport included the sight of the nesting storks 🦤. Airport was sooo expensive, but had a pizza and were treated to an amazing thunderstorm over Croatia (photos Helen?). Home by taxi for 1.30, greeted by a growling Charlie 🐕 . What a fab Turkish holiday 😃Baca lagi

  • Day 12 - chilling again

    17 Julai 2023, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Very hot again, so spent time by the pool. After some balcony time we ventured into town and ended up having a very nice meal (grilled Seabream and shrimps) in the Gironda balcony restaurant, while a neighboring table did a night at the Oscars, with their 50th Birthday speeches 🤣Baca lagi

  • Day 11 - off to Kas

    16 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Walked to town and (just about) got the dolmus to Kas (£1 each), a lovely coastal road with Kaputas and other beaches en route. Wandered around town, some nice boutique shops, but quite quiet. Very hot so had a beer and later, a grilled chicken and wine at the Corner café. Also chatted with some Turkey newbies when we had our beer. A quick dip in the pool, watched Alcaraz depose King Djokovich, then drinks before a prawn skewer at the Cafe locally.Baca lagi

  • Day 10 - hot wandering

    15 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    Silly temperatures (103°). Walked and dripped our way into Kalkan, stopping for beer, wine and turtle 🐢 spotting. Loads of sightings in the marina. Too tired and hot to go back in the night, so went local again and spent £12Baca lagi

  • Day 8 - canoe adventure

    13 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    What's to say? A fantastic trip down the salikent River (13 km!). A laugh and adventure from start to finish. A capsize, then I had a collision with some overhanging trees and there was blood everywhere! 🫣 2 stops for swimming, beer, mud bath and then a lunch. Finished with a lovely swim at PataraBaca lagi

  • Day 7 Beach club

    12 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    More chilling, down to the Beach club, thought we saw a turtle, lots of swimming. Back to the pool, up to the room and a chat with our (intense) Russian neighbours. Out to town, cocktail, £ for trip, then a rubbish dinner (was cold). Complained and had a discount 😀Baca lagi

  • Day 6 - chill day

    11 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Total chill day, by the pool, reading and swimming. This is why we have a holiday abroad! Popped to supermarket, wine at the restaurant next door, mini disco on the balcony, then into town. Live singer (ok), then a rubbish kebab on way home 🌮Baca lagi

  • Day 5 - boatrip

    10 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    A fabulous boat trip around the bay. Over to Mouse island for a swim, I did the high board of course 🛥. Onto another beautiful bay for lunch and a swim, then another then home. What's not to like. Cocktail and traditional Turkish restaurant for dinner 🥕 Nice day 🫠Baca lagi

  • Day 4 lazy day

    9 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

  • Day 3 Beachclub

    8 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Walked down the steep incline and along a little dust path to our Beach club. Very nice and lovely swimming in the sea. Had a sea bass lunch, then back to the pool to chillax. Up to the room for showers then out to town, starting with a lovely cocktail 🍸. Booked our boat trip then had a dinner we didn't need, on another nice rooftop restaurant. Lots of birthday's taking placeBaca lagi

  • Day 2 - getting to know you

    7 Julai 2023, Turki ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Lovely breakfast on the terrace, Helen chilled while Mark worked on a Report. Bit of swimming in our lovely pool, then a wander into Kalkan to explore (20 minutes). Lovely place full of character. Bottle of wine overlooking the harbour, then some dinner on the rooftop of Gustos, where the waiter told us his daughter lives in Cardiff. Taxi home and a few drinks by the barBaca lagi
