Serenity on top of the Mountain

Kumluca

Our stay at the small village around Mavikent had been a rather interesting experience. I decided to deactivate myself with the social media and had more time for myself.

The first week of our stay, we spent a lot of time with our host (a family of four and Cilek (which means Strawberry) the dog) and were served Turkish tea and delicious homemade desserts in their living room while watching episodes of Survivor. It was really funny how they were really in to this show and looking at how long the commercial takes (which is half an hour), I suppose so many people in Turkey are big fans of this show.

Anyway, I don't have much to say, but here are pictures that Mats and I have been taking during our stay in the village.

On our first week at the village, Firat and his partner came to visit and we tagged along to Karaoz Beach

Finally, we can enjoy the water without freezing

Taking Cilek for a walk to a nice beach on the west side of the village and saw this beautiful plant with amazing looking flowers

Firat and his friends came over again the next week

Sebastian from Germany came to live at the BnB we were staying in and spent some time with us on the beach. This beach has a really beautiful large rock, it was perfect for rock climbing practice.

Beautiful calm beach

Walking back with Cilek after sunset. It was quite a walk as the warm wind was blowing. It felt like the Saharan Desert wind.

Firat came for another visit with his mates and we tagged along to the same beach with the beautiful massive rock

Last day in the village and we took the chance to take Cilek for a walk

Well, that is all from me for last month's travel journal. More coming up from Fethiye, as we have been invited to house sit and take care of some dogs and cats there. Looking forward to it! :-)
