Two Weeks in Turkey

 

Amazing tranquillity at Hisarönü Bay

With our Schengen time running out, and with no particular need to be anywhere, we decided to relocate from Kalymnos to Marmaris, Turkey, for a couple of weeks. It nearly went a pear shaped - we decided to break the journey with a couple of nights in Rhodes, but a taxi strike made catching the early morning ferry tricky. Our host kindly offered us a lift, but with a late start, heavy traffic and loads of roadworks, we almost missed the ferry - not the kind of start to the day that enjoy.

A couple of weeks in the sun, beach walks, eating out and everything being amazingly inexpensive - what's not to like? Onwards to the Ariege via night in Stansted and a €13 flight from Dalaman!

Kalymnos Delivers - As Ever

Kaly cruising

Kalymnos was the as good as ever - we had a solid month there, I did 54 routes and there was plenty of cat action added into the mix. It started hot and REALLY busy, and ended up, cool, a little unsettled and really quiet. We spent a couple of weeks in the new Odyssey Climbing House, which was great apart from the grim traffic noise from the main road. Then we had two more weeks at Myrties Boutique Apartments which was great, quiet, comfortable and with several of our favourite cats on call 24/7.

Then is was a bumpy ride on the catamaran to Rhodes - (Sherri was seasick) for a couple of nights in a lovely apartment, then onwards to Marmaris, Turkey, for a couple of weeks. The first few days have been very wet - the forecast is much better!
