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. Dedikodu After taking our time getting up, we made our way to a coffee place called...

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...

Goreme Open Air Museum From there we visited the Goreme Open Air Museum. This was a large set of structures that were carved into the rock forming a community of sorts.
