Tyrkiet. Ikke alene er det mit foretrukne måltid, men nu har det endt med at være et af mine foretrukne lande. Efter vores lange færge tur fra Grækenland til havnebyen Marmaris i Tyrkiet gik vi med vores tunge tasker omkring 4kms til vores hotel. Igen, takket være booking.com havde vi et hus med wi-fi, morgenmad samt en stor pool for $ 11.
Vi var så udmattede fra den lange rejse, som vi slog ned i en 3 timers lur, vågnede for nogle middag samt da tilbage hus i seng! Marmaris var en god havneby, men i det væsentlige var det bare et sted for hele Storbritannien at samle. Uanset hvad der blev oprettet for dem: Footie Games Spillede overhovederne restauranterne, fuld engelsk morgenmad – herunder tilbage bacon (selvom dette er et muslimsk land!), Fisk samt chips på special, faktisk HP sauce, bagt bønner, skotsk morgenmad i alt med sort pudding … osv. Det var en samlet rejsende fælde.
Hver butik, der har foretaget havnefronten, var enten en web cafe, souvenirbutik, rejsende agentur, vestlig type restaurant, bar eller beklædningsgenstande butik. Vi gik rundt såvel som gik til udstillingen i løbet af dagen såvel som det var i det væsentlige det. Ikke vores type by.

Efter 2 nætter flyttede vi videre til at opdage et sted meget mere afsondret, roligt og lokalt. Vi valgte på en by langs Middelhavet kaldet Kabak. Hvis du søger efter et sted væk fra den slagne vej i det vestlige Tyrkiet, er dette stedet. Vi tog en bus fra Marmaris til Fethiye, til Oludeniz, til Kabak samt derefter gik ned en 2 km Rocky Sti til, hvor vores ‘camp’ var. Hele området var forbløffende, helt betagende.
Vi er så taknemmelige, vi valgte at gå med alt for at komme til det sted. Placeringen blev kaldt Shambala såvel som var en lejr sat helt i naturen, i et helt uudviklet område, omgivet af træer, sat på siden af en ren klippe med enestående udsigt over Middelhavet nedenunder, samt store klipper på enten side.
Det havde en hippy, kølet ud vibe såvel som var så fremragende vi endte omkostninger 5 nætter der. Denne placering er ideel til Budget Plan Backpackers. Lejren var i alt med hytter, bungalows, telte, en restaurant, pool, chillout område samt bar. Vi valgte en hytte på ydersiden af lejren, længst på klippen med den allerbedste udsigt over havet. Vi havde endda et toilettet inde i vores hytte samt en myg web til at dække sengen … som jeg kunne lide, da der ikke var et vindue eller et dæksel på forsiden af hytten, alting måske (og gjorde) komme ind!
Vi havde en edderkop hændelse. En stor, sort, plettet, monstrøs dyr af en arachnid … godt størrelsen af palmen af min hånd alligevel. Jeg kunne ikke sove at holde den ting på væggen over vores hoveder, det var ikke på en web, så det var bestemt en jæger. Vi var nødt til at få en af arbejderne til at finde såvel som eliminere det fra lokalerne. Vi havde ikke endnu flere problemer, siger tak til Gud.

Hver morgen såvel som nat blev en stor buffet af mad serveret såvel som var inkluderet i prisen på værelset. Måltiderne var så velsmagende såvel som kogte af en regional kok, så vi var i stand til at prøve forskellige tyrkiske retter. Til morgenmad ville vi have regionale oste, agurker, yoghurt, frisk brød, vanskelige kogte æg, korn (er cornflakes tænkte på lokale?) Gozleme (tyrkisk pandekage) bagt med spinat såvel som ost, samt en te.
Middag var et andet valg hver nat. Vores foretrukne måltid var den ekstremt allerførste; Da vi var de eneste mennesker, der opholder sig i lejren. Vi blev serveret frisk fanget tun kogte med krydderier, skiver af ægplanter rullet såvel som grillet med ost inde, sauteed champignon, ris, miljøvenlig salat, regional frugt (slags som en abrikos), fløde af broccoli suppe, brød også Som for dessert … de mange chokoladefulde chokoladepudding med kokosnødspåner på toppen! Som virkelig er tyrkisk, de forstås for deres puddinger. Hver nat var måltiderne fantastiske såvel som vi forsøgte mange forskellige retter.
Vi tilbragte meget tid på at læse såvel som solbriller ved poolen. Et par dage gik vi 20 minutter ned ad en vej til den mest smukke bugt til svømning. Det eneste problem var, at der ikke var nogen form for skygge, så vi kunne ikke bruge hele tiden der. Havet var den ideelle temperatur, det klareste, mange turkisvand såvel som var omgivet af rene klipper rundt omkring.

The gorgeous beach at Kabak, Turkey
Another day we chose to go to Butterfly Valley. It’s extremely touristy as well as is expected to be the nicest beach ever. So, we set off…2kms up the hill from our camp to the primary road, hitch-hiked with an English man from Liverpool to the top of the Butterfly Valley as well as then started our good down to the beach. It wasn’t easy, nor was it extremely safe, however it was the most exhilarating hike yet. The descent was on a narrow, rocky path, which zigged as well as zagged directly down the sheer 400m high cliffside. In the steepest as well as many harmful parts, there were ropes fixed to the rocks to assist the climb down. We didn’t discover everything that difficult descending from the top, it took about 30 minutes.

Forsigtig! climbing down to Butterfly Valley, Turkey
Literally when we were off the cliff as well as making our method to the beach, 5 huge trip boats pulled up, blaring music, bbq’ing on board, the trip guide yelling from a megaphone, perfect. They poured onto the beach in hoards, English, French, German, Spanish, Asian, you name it, they were on the boat! even so, we didn’t believe the Butterfly Valley was almost as good as our beach back at Kabak. So, we went for a swim to awesome off from the hike as well as headed back to deal with the daunting trek back UP the cliff. It was challenging going up, we took numerous breaks as well as it took us about an hour. I don’t believe we’ve sweat that much in a long time!

Once at the top we waited for a bus, none came. We tried to hitch-hike, nobody would stop. So, we started walking back in the warm of the day (over 30 degrees). So far in Turkey it’s been over 30 degrees every day. We walked for about 4kms as well as then lastly somebody chosen us up as well as took us to the turn-off to our camp, where we walked the 2kms down.
Along the method we saw a indication for “free spring water” so we stopped in to fill up our water bottles. We ended up having fantastic conversations with the owner as well as his buddy who was going to from Istanbul, her English was perfect. They were both so kind as well as hospitable. They provided us fruits from his garden as well as then just as we were believing we’d state goodbye as well as bring on, lunch showed up!
They shared their meal with us stating “things are much more gorgeous when shared”. We had Turkish pizza, eco-friendly salad made of fresh organic components from his garden as well as a chilly soup made of yogurt, cucumbers as well as mint. Så godt! We thanked them as well as took our heavy, exhausted legs back to our location as well as instantly into the pool. A fantastic day.
After a few days there, we satisfied up with one more Canadian, Kyle from Vancouver. Nick as well as I were able to download the hockey game as well as the three of us viewed it on the laptop one night with some beers. The tranquil yoga retreat area was sometimes disturbed by us yelling at the screen! All the locals were thinking about what we were watching. However, when they realized it wasn’t soccer, they brought on.

After a fantastic 5 nights there, we chose it was time to relocation on. We were eastbound for the town of Olympos, understood for its treehouses as well as bungalows in the forest! seems like one more fantastic location to relax.
