Oludeniz Turkiye

We have booked ourselves a cheeky holiday to celebrate our First Wedding Anniversary in June to Oludeniz in Turkey where we spent our honeymoon last year. This time we have 14 nights Bed & Breakfast in The Karbel Hotel. I'm really looking forward to sampling restaurants & kebab shops this time, as last year we were all inclusive & only ate out a few times on excursions. 

Oludeniz

This year is mainly about relaxation for us, as we spent our 11 nights last year doing lots of excursions so that we got to see some of the country & the culture. For instance we visited Ephesus & Pamukkale, as well as going on a sunset cruise, visiting the Dalyan mud baths & Iztuzu Beach to see the Caretta Caretta Turtles, & spending a morning paragliding. 

Pamukkale 

We also went to the 'Ghost Village' Kayakoy & took the 3 km mountain trek back to the Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz, which we intend to do again on this trip as there were spectacular views from the mountain side. We will be making sure we don't attempt it in the midday heat this time around though. The village is much larger than we had thought & not all of the old streets are walkable, so it takes a good hour or so to make your way across to the beginning of the trek as well as have a good look around the village itself, especially if you want to see the amazing views from the highest points.

I am also keen to explore more of Fethiye as we only had a few glimpses last year on tours, when we did the sunset cruise & needed to find some supper & when we went to the weekly market. I know the city has much more to offer though, so this time we intend to hop on a dolmus from Oludeniz & spend at least one day making our way through the city exploring & eating great Turkish fare!
