2018 Turkey & Croatia

Gimpy and I spend two weeks in Turkey before joining Vino for a pretty awesome road trip through the beautiful country of Croatia in 2018.

Konya & Antalya

To add insult to injury, when we woke up this morning, we were treated to a view of hot air balloons in the air. It was a bit of salt in the wound for some of us who really wanted to take a flight but it was still a sight to see. While it was a tough pill to swallow, we soldiered on, and after some breakfast made our way out of Cappadocia and onward to Konya. Sultanhani Caravanserai Our first...

Cruising to Kekova

Cruising around Kekova From Antalya, we continued our drive through Turkey. Our destination today would be Kas. However, before Kas we'd be spending the day on a boat sailing through the Mediterranean and around the Island of Kekova. It took us about an hour to arrive at the dock, where we grabbed our day bags and boarded the ship. It's a small boat with an open rear seating area, and a top and...

Kas

The first order of business for Gimpy and I on our free day was to sleep in. Since we arrived, we hadn't had a proper day to catch up on sleep so this was the day! We were lucky, because when we woke up, it was down pouring quite hard outside, so we dodged a bullet being indoors rather than outdoors during this.

Pamukkale & Hierapolis

Driving to Pamukkale With Kas in our rear view mirror, our next stop would be Pamukkale. I was excited for this stop since next to the hot air balloons, this was something I wanted to see. I'd seen many pictures online about the series of white Infinity pools and I wanted to witness it with my own eyes. We had a drive along the coast before heading inland towards Pamukkale. After a few hours...

Ephesus

Ephesus After a quick hotel breakfast we made the short 20 minute drive to Ephesus. Ephesus is an ancient roman city that was once an economic center. This visit was a point of excitement for me because it's a name that is quite prominent in the Bible and to be able to possibly walk where those stories were written was a surreal prospect. Upon entering the gate we found ourselves in the most...

Ayvalik

Ayvalik The name of the game today would be to chill and we would be doing that in Ayvalik. After a quick breakfast in our Selcuk hotel, we got back on our bus for the drive to Ayvalik. It was an uneventful drive and after a few hours we entered Ayvalik. Our bus dropped us off a few blocks from where we would stay for the evening. Because of the way the streets are structured, it would have been...
