We landed in Fethiye and bused it over to Selcuk. After being on a rocky sailboat for the past 4 days our sea legs had matured and our land legs were completely gone. It was a really strange feeling, but when you’ll be standing there talking to someone or just walking down the street and [...]

This morning we all woke up early to start our 4 day 3 night sailboat cruise along the Adriatic. Our destination is Epheusus. The Blues Cruise was by far one of the coolest experiences. Our boat is crewed by a captain and two crewmates. Their English is not the best but mostly everything is brokenly [...]

It is really chill scenes hear in Olympos. The entire setup is relaxing. There are elevated seating area platforms with pillows all around. It is really easy to lounge around all day. With a full service restaurant and service to your seat it was really easy to waste away entire days just relaxing. The second [...]

I started to get a little restless and wanted to explore more Turkey. Coincidentally, I met two Seattleites, Casey and Jessica that were also about to depart Istanbul and check out more of what Turkey had to offer. We ended up booking the same itinerary through the travel agency next to our hostel through a [...]

The atmosphere during the day is lazy and shops are operating on a partial crew. The food stands are visited, but not at all busy. This scene is completely opposite at night. People all gather in the Sultanahmet area and the grassy areas are completely covered. Shops and tents are now all open and there [...]
