Floating about in Fethiye

Oh, this is such an easy place to relax in. Warm weather and warm sea makes Fethiye fairly chilled out despite its huge tourist population. This morning I got up super-early to see the Lycian rock tombs -- as its a 200+ stair climb, I wanted an early start before the real heat set in.  Was the only one there, so I could take in the gorgeous views of the town and harbour in peace.  The tombs are amazing and right in the centre of town.  Yesterday I went to the beach resort of Calais (which is a bit like Santa Monica/Venice beach with its strip walkways adorned by shops and restaurants)  and took a water taxi back to Fethiye.  The day before was a 12 Island cruise, jumping off ship into the Mediterranean at different mooring spots.  It was sooo relaxing that I fell asleep in the sun for 10 minutes and got pretty burnt. Today is my last here before heading back to the busy whirl of Istanbul. As I write there are chickens running around me and I am overlooking the pool outside my room. This really is a place you could drift into to doing nothing for a very long time. No wonder the Greeks wrote myths warning of this apathy! Think I might read a book in the cabana for a bit.... are you jealous yet?! xxx B
