Turkey - Olympos

Dalyan to Olympos bus ride along Mediterranean Sea was absolutely beautiful! 6 hours of wonder. Amazing scenery, a mix of Cote D’Azur, Sea to Sky highway, Canadian Rockies.

The bus stopped shortly in Finike; I would call Finike Monte Carlo of Turkey. Beautiful and impressive buildings, restaurants and coffees shops, wide and clean streets, palm trees, Bleu Sea.

We got to Olympos around 4 pm. Olympos is a small, laid back mountain resort. It is a in a valley surrounded by very impressive mountains, and one side has a rugged path that leads to Mediterranean Sea. It is beautiful! As soon as we got there I went for a walk to see the sea. I walked on the path looked at the trees and some ruins, and all of the sudden in front of me the path opens up and in front of me there if the perfectly blue Mediterranean sea- wow!

As accommodations there are only bungalows and tree houses. Bungalows are arranges around an interior garden with low tables and tons of cushions. Everyone gathered there, the night was so beautiful; it was hard to go to bed….
