Farewell to new friends

Sometimes we think it’s easy to forget how important this part of the world has been to world history. However, there are remains - both physical and cultural - of so many civilisations throughout the last 3000 or so years here that really remind you though. Today we saw both a temple complex to Leto (Apollo’s mum) and an ancient capital city the Brutus (yep, that one) besieged and sacked once.
The ruins might not be as big in some cases, and many need more work still, but they are still a wonder to see.

However, that aside, today was our last full day on our Teenager Tour in this part of Türkiye. So we left the rocks and headed back for one last dip in the pool.
Kylie stepped up and took on Tour Leader for the afternoon to and made arrangements for most of the group to head to a local hammam. Whilst not quite as flash as the one in Istanbul it was certainly and experience to remember - especially after they made it clear the last, despite being a mixed session, Dale wasn’t to wear swimmers when being washed!! 😳😳🫣😱

In the end though, everyone had a great time and felt super clean and refreshed before heading to our farewell dinner…90 mins late 😳😝

We’ve had a great time with the other families.
Kas (said like cash) was very nice and Fethiye has some great beaches around it and a cool little old town.

We are hoping our next family tour in Vietnam is as fun as this one (even though we are not sure if there’ll been teens on there just yet).Read more
