Summer is over... The last warm days are passing in Turkey. I always feel nostalgic before winter comes. Looking at the photos, I remember spring and the best moments of my #TheLongestTrip. That's how it all started when we first arrived in Turkey in March. And for the first time we came to an unrealistically majestic place - Kesme Bogazi canyon, near Kemer.
It was still very cold. I rented my first car for my birthday on March 19th and we went exploring the mountains!
It was truly a revelation! Across the river was a bridge over a waterfall, , which formed a deep lake as it fell. And there was a cafe on wooden stilts over a rushing stream!
I always admired this structure, which was attached to the rock by wooden beams in some amazing way. And with trepidation we climbed onto the multi-colored cushions, where we sat like Turkish and drank tea.
The first acquaintance with Jacob - the owner and creator of this creative cafe. The first coffee in Turkish, sitting on Turkish pillows barefoot, looking into the abyss and listening to the sound of water falling from a height! These impressions live in my heart and evoke pleasant nostalgic feelings in my soul...
Thanks and
for creating a great community Cinnamon Cup Coffee for good coffee lovers :)
We liked to order a traditional Turkish dish there - pide. It is a pizza-like bread baked with cheese.
The Turkish tea here was especially delicious. In classic glass cups, which warmed hands on a wet March evening above the waterfall.
And it was also nice to receive a bonus - Turkish aromatic cookies 🍪
Later, when the evenings became warm and the water warmed up in the natural pools, we often came here to swim and sunbathe, and then drank tea or coffee, enjoying relaxation to the sound of the mountain river.
While and I were drinking coffee over the raging stream, our
was having fun! She was climbing the rocks between the streams and going down the rock slide :)
We are currently in Cesme, Turkey. We stopped in this small historic town to rest from our busy travels and enjoy the last warm days on the Aegean Sea...
Our #TheLongestTrip continues and I thank everyone who reads about our adventures 🙂
