Us on the beach
Friday, April 18, 2014
This morning we walked around the Saint Nicholas Church. It is known for its simple design, mosaic floors and Byzantine frescos.
Tacky gift shop
Then we took a bus to Cirali: a beautiful beach community surrounded by mountains. We will start hiking from here tomorrow.
Dinner in Cirali. At the end of the meal the waiter offered free gifts--fruit plate and tea--to keep us around longer in order to attract more customers.
This evening we walked up to the Chimaera--flames that burn out of the rock at the base of Mount Olympos.

Hi Cecily and Sandy, We met briefly at Kent Hotel in Demre last year. I continued from there on the Lycian way and got as far as Olympos and saw the Chimeara too. This year In was back to see if I could complete the Lycian Way. I covered the inland (mountain) route as far north as Gönük Yayla and the returned south via the coastal route, visiting Phaselis on the way. Back at Olympos I hiked back south to Adrassan before returning to Antalya. I don't know if you know all of these places but I 'm sure you have great memories of your Turkish trip judging by your blog. My own blog is robinwalk.blogspot . You may remember that I was raising money for Water Aid and over the three visit managed to raise over £3,000! I'd love to go back and see more of Turkey - and revisit some places again. Hope all is well with you, best wishes for all your future travels. Robin Thomson
