    1. Day Kas I

    August 11, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

    After the hustle and bustle of Antalya, we were in the mood for peace and nature and decided on a Tiny House on the outskirts of Kas. The house is located in a forest 2 km from Kas. The bus driver kindly let us off 100 m from our accommodation.

    Our Tiny House is a jewel and we were immediately thrilled.

    Since we didn't want to waste any time, we went shopping and stocked up for the next three days.
    In the evening we grilled, had a great dinner and let the fire burn until the morning hours.

    Great day, great Place!

  • 2. Day Kas (Trip to Blue Lagoon) I

    August 12, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Today we decided without further ado to go to Ölüdeniz to the blue lagoon. We had seen the pictures before and were very interested. At first we thought it was some kind of national park, but it was not. The blue lagoon is a tourist overcrowded place, which has very nice corners, but in the end it is too crowded. There is the Mediterranean side and the inner lagoon side. The Mediterranean side is free and therefore overcrowded with tourists. The inner lagoon side has pay beaches and clubs and comes across as very dignified and beautiful. We chose the second option, which was incredibly fun. Cool off, sunbathe, have a drink and enjoy the peace and quiet.

    To the drive! We walked into town to Kas along the piers and just past the mosque was the Otogar. From there we took a bus to Fethiye. When we arrived in Fethiye we stood at the nearest bus stop and took the dolmus to Ölüdeniz. The last stop was the blue lagoon.

  • 3. Day Kas (Boat Cruise Kaleköy) I

    August 13, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    On the penultimate day of our departure to Ankara, we took another boat trip and visited the island of Kekova. The partially sunken ruins of the ancient city of Dolichiste are not to be missed if you happen to be in the area.

    Destroyed by an earthquake in the 2nd century AD, the site was rebuilt during the Byzantine era but later abandoned. Another quake - probably in the 10th century - caused most of the ruins to be submerged today. In the northwest of the island, there was a shipyard (Turkish: Tersane) in the ancient village of Xera.

    The Kekova region also includes Üçagiz (ancient Teimiussa) on the nearby mainland, the ancient town of Aperlai and the small coastal town of Kaleköy, which was built on ancient Simena.

    We visited all these islands, could visit the castle in Kaleköy and swim in 6 different sea bays and lagoons.

    The trip included lunch, fruit in the afternoon and cay (Turkish tea). We paid 450 Lt. per person, which is the equivalent of 22-24€.

  • 4. Day Kas (Departure to Ankara)

    August 14, 2022 in Turkey ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    As our flight to Ankara from Antalya did not have a departure time until 10pm, we wanted to see Demre on the way to the Airport, as the runes of the ancient Lycian city of Myra are located there.

    After taking the dolmus to Otogar in Kas, we got on the bus to Antalya that stops at Demer Otogar.

    There we walked for 20 minutes to Myra, which is very worthwhile because Demer is agricultural and there were fruit trees everywhere.

    Myra was already of some importance in the classical era and from the time of Hellenism was one of the six largest cities of the Lycian League.

    Myra was a bishop's see early on. From 300 onwards, Nicholas of Myra officiated as bishop.

    After the visit, we walked back to the Otogar of Demer and took a bus from there with the same timetable.

    From Antalya Otogar, we took line 600, which goes directly to the airport.

    Thank you to the provider of our Tiny House, it was a dream. The best accommodation so far. We don't know how to top it.

    Thanks to Kas, too, of course. A beautiful spot on earth. It was worth visiting this corner of Turkey.

    Next stop Ankara!
