On Sunday we had a private minibus to take us to Kas. which ıs further east along the coast from Dalyan.
We travelled to Fetıye, which is a coastal town and tourist centre about one hour from Dalyan. We had a walk around - lots of boats on the waterfront, all offering cruises etc, but the town didn't really appeal.
Then on to lunch at a house in a small village. This family provides typical Turkish meals to small tour groups. We ate on cushions on a carpet on a terrace shaded with foliage cut from a nearby tree earlier in the summer. The family were small scale farmers (pomegranates. peppers. onions etc) on a small plot around the house.
We then travelled on to a beautiful beach in a small cove. The beach was of rounded pebbles and required a walk down about 170 steps, but the weather was great and the water crystal clear and superb.
From there, on to Kas. Thıs is a small town which has coped well with the numbers of tourists which now visit. İt has a great atmosphere - small streets. easy walking, a small harbour full of boats that support tourist activity (trips and diving) and a fine old Roman amphitheatre with a great view over the harbour.
We had a meal at a restaurant with a great view over the harbour, as a storm began to develop.
