Lake Salda
|
We left Kalymnos in the middle of the afternoon and were in Bodrum by early evening - via two ferry crossings. We spent a couple of days getting sorted and exploring then headed across country to spend a couple of days at Salda with its amazing blue alkaline lake. It was a Bank Holiday and we thought it might be busy, but in the end, everywhere was pretty much deserted.. The town felt a bit like the Wild West, but the people were all super-friendly and the lake was intriguing.

Then it was onwards to our AirBnb in Geyikbayiri above the huge city of Antalya. It is four years since we were last in the area, and thought it might be a bit warm for climbing, but decided to give it a go anyway.
Again everywhere was really quiet which was a pleasant surprise. The house was very impressive, cool at night and with the added attraction of some semi-feral cats and some very noisy chickens. We got a bit of climbing done, plus a lot of wandering and enjoying the sun.

Cool (and damp) at 6000'

We figure that we can cope with a couple more weeks before have to contemplate heading back to Kalymnos and on to the UK - we would rather not think about that just yet!
