Well it`s been a whistle stop tour, but tomorrow marks the end of my time ın Turkey. Heading to the Syrian border tomorrow.
Turkey is just an amazing country. After Ephesus we headed to a little seaside village of Oluydenız - apparently they filmed the blue lagoon ın the blue lagoon that we camped by. Had a fantastic day out on a boat, which was nearly over shadowed by me stupidly diving in to the sea with my sunglasses on. Luckily one of the guys managed to spot them on the bottom of the sea and I got them back. All good!
Wasn`t so lucky with my travelling towel that I managed to leave in the hostel in Selçuk. Doh!! But I now have a very nice touristy towel from Kaş.
From Oluydenız we headed to Olympos where we spent one nıght to trek up a mountain to see the enternal flame. Apparently it`s the one that the olympic tourch is lit from. Quıte good but it was a walk at 10pm at night and by the time I reached the top I was quite literally soaked in sweat from the humidity. Nıce!
So from Olympos we had a massive driving day (try 5am tıll 4:30pm)and ended up here in Cappadocia. One word - amazing! Took a balloon ride this morning and got to see the landscape from the air. Just breath taking. We`ve then had a bit of a tour for the rest of the day and a chilled out night to come before another 5am start to get to the Syrian border.
The tour`s not completely what I expected, but it`s a good group of people and just fantastic to be seeing the countries I`m seeing.
I`ll try and update again soon. Hope everyone`s all good. Lx
