Birthday present... What should it be for you? Personally, the best gift for me on my trip is a rental car :) And I got it from my friend for three weeks! In honor of my anniversary of driving abroad. So, I went on a cruise through the best cities of Turkey, which I have long dreamed of! A breath of fresh air in my #TheLongestTrip….
Of course, there will be a separate post about each of these cities. And today I will describe an exciting walk that I got in between fast driving. So, we left in the direction of the city of Kash. And the first city we passed was Finike. Outside the city, the road ran along serpentines and I asked my daughters to photograph the magical views of the sea and rocks. You can see the road in the photo, which is surprisingly steep!
On the way, we stopped at the village of Demre, where there are amazing ancient Lycian rock tombs. This is an incredible miracle! I looked at these mystical tombs, built of stone in the mountain, with trepidation in my soul. And there is also an amphitheater. Our goal was to get museum cards that allow you to visit historical places in Turkey for free. And we bought them for 60 lira each.
We arrived in the city of Kash in the evening. After staying in a hotel for one night, we went out to see the evening city. And in the morning we went around the peninsula to see the beautiful views of the sea and islands, which are many here and are covered with greenery and very beautiful!
Colorful flowers bloomed in the mountains on both sides of the road. The air was filled with magical aromas. We stopped every time to take pictures of these fascinating sea pictures! The city with orange roofs looks very beautiful. Kash is very close to Greece. Architecture and the nature here is similar to the Greek island of Chios, where I visited last year.
The most beautiful views were on the observation deck, from where you can see the port and ships
And after our drive around the peninsula, we explored the old town of Kas, which is truly the pearl of Turkey! The unique two-story multi-colored houses on the steep street made a fascinating impression on me :)
This is my third day on my cruise. Things are happening so fast that I don't have time to write. I dream to sleep But I am extremely happy and my mood is high! There will be a continuation.
Thank you for your visit 💕
