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.)
