I came with excitement to the place that I call my greatest Turkish love - Kesme Bogazi Canyon in the Kemeru Mountains!
I came here for the first time in March. It was so exciting! I have never seen before how beautiful the Turkish mountains are!
I saw again those incredibly beautiful mountains with heavy purple clouds hanging over them! You can look at this fascinating picture for a long time...
And so we returned to Kemer on November 10. I didn't have a car to go to the mountains. But there was an opportunity - my friend came to Kemer.
And between those mountains there is a road in a gorge, the magical Kesme Bogazi canyon, which few people know about. Not a very popular tourist route. And a stormy stream flows over the stones, forming lakes of various sizes. The rushing water suddenly slows down, later falls from a height and rages again!
We drove with pleasure between the steep rocks that overhang the road, enjoying the colors of autumn in the forest, where among the evergreen pines there are other trees that have already managed to put on yellow-hot clothes.
We stopped at a familiar bridge, which, according to legend, was built by Alexander Macedonian himself. We looked in awe at the deep gorge, where the falling water under the bridge formed a deep turbulent pool... And then we went to a cozy open-air cafe with a blue roof above the mountain river to drink coffee...
The owner of this cafe, our friend, invited us to take a walk around the area, and we saw snowdrops, which appear to bloom here in November!

This is incredible beauty! After all, in my Ukraine, these flowers grew in March, they were the first to be cut from under the snow and were a gift for my birthday on March 19 :)
After enjoying this beauty of various mountain flowers and plants, we approached another gorge, where the face of the great general Alexander the Great Macedonian is carved into the rock.
I circled that with a yellow color.
Do you see it?
It's nice to find friends on a trip who happily welcome us back!
This post is written about where I am now. But I'll be back to telling my travel story, sequentially describing all the places I changed in my #TheLongestTrip
