Farewell Kalkan

 

We had a planning day and revisited the next four days on the Likya Yolu trail that would take us to Kas, our intended jumping off point to the Greek islands. 

The next four days on the trail looked to be  pretty much the same as the ground we had covered. There would be distant sea views from the cliff tops,  open ground with no shade,  sparse mountain villages and with no parts of the trail taking us close to the actual sea shore. Taking all this into account, and the next four days weather forecast of temps in the late 20's°C , the trip health & safety officer made a call to ditch the trail and instead find our way  along the coast roads by public bus where possible. 

After our planning meeting we wandered along the little lanes of the old town. Of course lunch was needed and we had a superb lunch of grilled octopus, local caught sea bass, grilled calamari and salad.

You can see the why it's called the turquoise coast, the water is crystal clear.

Farewell Kalkan, a very chilled out little seaside village. We were lucky to have stayed pre season and enjoyed the quiet, laid back vibe.
