Kas

We woke to a beautiful sunny day and set out down the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. After an hour or so of driving we stopped at a seaside town called Fethiye and spent about an hour there wandering around town. We hopped back on board the bus and after another hour or so arrived in the town of Kas. It is a beautiful seaside town with a very rugged shoreline and lots of fishing boats moored in the harbour. It was very windy so the sea was really rough and there wasn't much in the way of a beach so we weren't able to swim. However, we finally got to see the Mediterranean in all its glory under sunny skies. It's absolutely beautiful here and must be a wonderful spot in the summer. There is a square in the middle of town which is surrounded by cafes and restaurants - a pretty and active gathering spot by the edge of the sea.

A very short walk outside of town there is a Greek theatre which at a capacity of 4,000 is fairly small. It is distinct in that it is the only theatre in Asia Minor which faces the sea. There are a couple of other little gems around town, like a Lycean sarcophagus, but not too much of note. It was just really nice to spend the day wandering around the quiet town enjoying the sunshine and beautiful views. It's also nice to be away from the cities and the hassles that go with them. Here we can wander through the shops at our leisure and not be shadowed by shopkeepers constantly selling to us. It's a real relief.
