Day 32-36; Fethiye. On the road again and over the Taurus Mountain range to the Southwest coast of Turkiye hoping to connect with a sailboat and check out the area close to the Eastern Greek islands. Only 200 km or so from Antalya to the classic sleepy fishing town turned touristic.

Arrived in Fethiye walking about 2 km to arrive at Mykonut Aparte Hotel which is good enough, but under renovations and a bit far from centre compared to where I switched to the last few days. Downtown Fethiye Suites which was the best stay for me in Turkiye!

 |
| A gorgeous bay full of boats and mountains |
 |
| A great promenade |

Decided to investigate along the bay to a possible beach about 4km walk away in my flip flops...Just do it, hahahah!

Took a walk up the hill to Ancient City of Telmessos and Amyntas Rock Tombs. $3 (60 lira), oh well...
Nice to go somewhere people and tour guides aren't. And enjoying amazing views over Fethiye.

Back on the road trying to
find another way down to town |
 |
| Kale Kaya Mezarlari |
 |
| Not just Mexico that has tonnes of trash laying |

the perimeter, some useable. |

| Apparently Greece is half the price for boat slips. $1300 if you can get a spot here! 2 year wait list. |
A good day and a good night. Met Jaap, who gave me directions, a Dutch married to a Turk that live in Germany half the year. Had a few drinks in the centre.
