Turkey

Our trip to Turkey was born of necessity, basically it was the only place in the world we were allowed to travel to.  Unfortunately it came off the green list while we were there so we had to self isolate when we got home.  Would love to go back and explore further, it’s such a beautiful country.

Not our usual kind of adventure but at the time a package holiday was the safest way to travel.  It did however turn out to be a great trip. All inclusive holidays are not the best way to experience new cultures but we tried to make the most of it by getting out and about around the local area taking in some of the things we would have done if we had travelled independently.

One of the highlights of our two weeks was a trip to Goynuk Canyon, a lovely short walk followed by a dip in the water. Another great day out is a just a short drive away. The ruins of Phaselis of Greek and Roman origin are sat right on the coast. You can combine the sight seeing with a great walk and a swim in the shallow bay.

Another similar place to visit is Olimpos another ruined city with some amazing artefacts and a fascinating and rich history.  Again this is situated right on the coast with a long pebble beach close by  and some great swimming.  Next time we visit it would be great to bring the van and explore Turkey a little more It’s a massive country with some amazing things to see and explore.

Five exciting things Andiamo Amigos did in Kemer, Turkey

Our summer 2020 holiday we found ourselves exploring Kemer, Turkey as travelling options were limited.  It was was my first visit to Turkey as Chris has been to before but not to this area.  I’d only ever transited through Istanbul airport so that doesn’t count.
