Fresh figs!!!
We spent a happy few days along the south-west coast of Turkey, taking in pretty beaches lined in pine trees and cliff tombs situated on the 316-mile Lycian Way.
A Lycian tomb overlooking an idyllic little beach in Butterfly Valley. See that tiny sliver of moon?
We found a great waterside restaurant in Dalyan, Beyaz Gül, and kept going back. (This was the only time I ever ordered Turkish coffee though.) From the restaurant veranda we had a view of these Lycian rock tombs set into the cliff across the water:
Boatloads of tourists motored by as we ate, and in the evening the tombs were illuminated by floodlights. There’s something sort of Indiana Jones-ish about them, isn’t there? (Or maybe I’m just thinking of The Last Crusade.)
Camille, I love seeing your travel photos! (And now I think I want to try a Turkish coffee.) Happy New Year! Can’t wait to see you soon…
The tombs really were an unexpected highlight. When we go back to Turkey we will need to walk a lot more of the Lycian Way!
