At Olympos ruins before the cruise with Nicole and Kerry
Our boat, the Babaveli that housed 22 of us including crew!
Our captain, Sunny, hard at work. He navigated and cooked for us!
         Well, I'm back from the Bayram holiday and what a fantastic holiday it was!! A group of us cruised from Olympos to Fethiye for several days....sunning, swimming, snorkeling and eating great food on the Mediterranean.  We visited several small towns....Kas, Kekova and Kalkan, saw ancient ruins, hiked in Butterfly Valley and enjoyed the hamam (Turkish Bath) in Fethiye. Here are a few pics to give you an idea of why this is called the Turquoise coast.
A typical Turkish meal on the boat

Hanging out with Nicole in the bay before a swim

In the lovely harbor town of Kalkan 
Fethiye, our final stop....lots of little restaurants and bars and a wonderful Turkish hamam where we were scrubbed and massaged
In the bay at Butterfly Valley where we jumped off the boat for a swim, and also went ashore to hike up the waterfall

  1. What a wonderful holiday you had! Can't believe you had 22 plus crew on that boat! Is Miss April the lady to Nicole's left in the dinner picture. Are those bath houses on the beach in the bay near Butterfly Valley?
    So, so happy for you,
