Beautiful southern coastline

This week is going to go by quickly, as we have to be in Antalya by Saturday morning for our eye doctor appointment. We did that on purpose though, otherwise we wouldn't get through this area fast enough!

Part of our goal on this Turkish trip is to see some of the area east of Antalya towards the Syrian border and if we're going to do that we have to get a move on. So booking the eye doctor for Saturday gives us the push we need.

We left our view over the village of Minare and headed back to the main highway that leads down to the southern coastline.

Good thing there was nobody coming the other way!

It's hazy down in the valley at Kinik where there are hundreds of greenhouses.

Scenery along the way.

We arrived at the scenic Kaputaş Beach.

We had just parked and were getting out fo the motorhome when I noticed that friends Katja and Yves pulled in right behind us! Too funny. We stood and chatted and enjoyed the view for a while. 

Beautiful sky and sea.

Another little beach, but it is right beside the highway.

The highway follows the coastline.

We stopped here for lunch.

We parked just outside of the town of Kas, and got the bikes off. When we were here last time we walked around the entire peninsula, but this time we wanted to ride our bikes around.

Kas harbor.

Taking a break.

It was a nice bike ride, but there were a lot more hills than we remembered from when we walked around it. In fact, we even had to get off and walk the bikes up three different sections. Oh well. It's good exercise.

These guys have a nice view.

Looking across at the Greek island of Kastellorizo.

Now that the ferries are open again, we thought about going over to the island on a day trip. But, we have enough to do without spending the extra money. And we're still waiting to hear back about the train ride we want to possibly do towards the end of the month. So far, no tickets yet.

Looking towards the town of Kas.

Yet another pretty beach.

Blue sky and blue sea.

There are not a lot of great overnight spots at Kas. The motorhomers have overstayed their welcome in this area and there are now signs prohibiting overnighting in certain areas. But we knew of a spot on the same road where our apartment was when we were here last time, so we headed up there for the night. It's right across from the high school, so it was busy with young people when we arrived, but by 5:00pm it was nice and quiet and we had a peaceful night.

Ruth made a delicious roast chicken dinner with stuffing!

Today is another gorgeous day and we are doing a steep hike on the Lycian Way trail.
