Fethiye and Oludeniz - too English!


Saklikent Gorge



From Fetihiye we headed for a day trip to Saklikent Gorge. Here, a earthquake split the mountian and created a gorge. Today, it was a very muddy flow that was later joined by fresh freezing water. Walking up the gorge was cool. Trudging through more mud, waiting to see who would fall. Dean and I did fine and Dean ended up heading for a swim, i had had enough mud from our bath.

and again...


The town of Fethiye is pretty full of English holiday-makers and restaurants catering for their tastes. But it is no comparison to Oludeniz. In Fethiye it is possible to get some lovely Turkish food, in Oludeniz, it is not. Every food board has 'English Breakfasts' advertised, with 'Heinz Baked Beans' and 'HP sauce' and even 'Tesco Bacon', all advertised with their pound pricing. Nothing like experiencing some different culture huh? Needless to say we reluctantly had to eat some crap food with no taste.


Sorry, no pictures of POMs here...


Entering the National Park beach at Oludeniz explained the mass of English. This beach is gorgeous. The pebbles weren't much but the water was perfect. The pictures should explain it. Had an awesome day swimming here watching the paragliders and cursing ourselves for leaving the cash at the pension.
