The views as our ship sails into these small ports on the Southeastern tip of Turkey are simply gorgeous. The area is known as the St Tropez of Turkey. The beach sand is more gravel than sugar sand, but the water is a clear turquoise. Both towns are nestled in bays at the foot of beautiful pine covered mountains. Bodrum had a more middle class feel to it and today in Marmares, the yachts are huge and the shops elegant. Open air bars and restaurants line the shoreline and there is a cat in the sun every ten feet!
We enjoyed adult beverages early afternoon under the shade of a giant umbrella at one of the restaurants.
This is our last day in Turkey, at midnight we sail to the Greek island of Rhodes. We are trying hard to spend our Turkish lira.
Our pace is relaxing, not much rhythm to the days...just decide on the moment and explore swim, read, nap...
