Hiking in the sun

Day #8 - kayakoy

Firstly, i would like to point out the uber cool traditional turkish sitting area i am sitting in to write this post...comfy looking eh?


So today we started bright and early...breakfast at seven out by eight. We walked to the ghost town mentioned yesterday, a town abandoned by the greeks during the population exchange.


Its on the side of a hill and was a but if a trek upwards...


All the homes of people who were once here gave me an erie feeling...


We hiked all the way up to the upper church, which was gorgeous, but oddly, there were ppl there holding some sort of mass with like six ppl.





It was just road afterroad of stne houses complete bare and left behind


Once we reached the top...


We continued passed the old houses and started our two hour trek to a town that starts with an o. There were lots of trees...lots of bugs and lots of annoying sharp plants along the way...


I didnt really take too many pics on the trek itself for fear of slipping and dropping my camera. The view ws gorrrgeous.





Random dry plant


Random rocks piled...


And finally, after two and a half hour in the scortching heat, we made it! Victory!


Afterwards, we head to the town of fethiye to get an aweeesome turkish bath. No pics allowed, but basically, u go into a room thats similar to a sauna, excpt there is running water in marble sinks where u can bathe urself. You are naked btw, or at least topless. Then a lady comes and scrubs u down with an exfoliating glove to get all the nasty dead skin off. Then she soaps you, gives u a light massage, and then ur done! Then, as an optional choice, you can get an oil massage. It was soooooooo good, esepcially spending a day sweating like theres no tomorrow.

We then headed to a nearby "hidden beach" which was niether nearby or hidden lol. Sharing a cab still cost me fifteen lira! But, i did take a dip in the warm mediterrian sea :) amazing.





Tmr, im off to stay on the boat for two days. No internet. Ohhh man. Time to sleep under the starts :)
