![]() We did however have a couple of overcast days which turned out to actually be more of a dust storm from the Sahara. This blotted out the sun and restricted visibility on the ground. |

![]() Turkey - Icmeler - June![]() Did not use wristband system in operation - No need unless drinking and eating on complex. Too many kids for my liking - ban families from the complex and it would be 100 times better. |
![]() Try Majestic or Venice on the canal walk - good service and free entertainment - wait for the Michael Jackson tribute, good show for all. |
![]() Take a taxiboat to marmaris, worth it just for the boatride (7.5 lira one-way). Plenty of hustle and bustle in M, bars and restaurants not so pushy as icmeler, great harbour to walk around and lots of proper shops too. Loads of boats offering 1 and 2 day trips, they're great looking vessels - tempting. Booked car hire HERTZ today until airport on Monday 4days*42 euros=168 euros,approximately 128GBP. All locals are more than friendly and very helpful. Memorable bars are CAPTAIN BULLSHITS & TITANIC where we ate well. Captain Bullshit owns the cafe and also the cruise boat (capacity 140) and even has his name 'Captain Bullshit' tatooed on his arm!

![]() Visited Mick and Mel's mountain lodge on Friday. Cousin Mick was not there - he was on holiday for 5 days (even though we had e-mailed our intentions and got a reply just a few days before) - Mel was in Fetiye and not due back for hours. None of the staff spoke or suggested anything so 30min later we were on our way back to Icmeler. No mean journey - 3 hours each way in 35° of heat (car hire at £130 - 4 days). Beautiful place though, a real oasis of delight, flora and fauna to die for, miles from any tourist route - the real Turkey - and there was us, two fucking real turkeys 3000km from home visiting no fucker!! |

Something nice about visiting this island in October, the last week of the holiday season. As expected, with everywhere winding down for the absence of tourists, the resort of Kamari was nice and quiet as were the Kofouros studios we stayed at. The weather was surprisingly good with almost constant blue skies and occasional cloud.
Our digs were clean and although the kitchen was small it was adequate for our needs but would have benefited from a toaster.

Kamari is close to the airport but the fascination of such a good view of the jets landing compensated for the excess noise.
Kamari has a long promenade walk shared with the occasional motor vehicle and is lined with restaurants and boutiques. |

Other places We walked to the ancient village of Thira - 1000 feet up the mountain, and quite windy at the top - to see the excavations there, of which there are many. A Suzuki Jimny took us to Oia, Imerogivil and Fira - extremely picturesque buildings with views to die for. The rest of the island was easily covered in a couple of days. |
