‪@SailingKawai‬ This week we leave the bustling Gocek and sail to Fethiye to shelter from some strong winds that are forecast. It's a great decision as we hold well in mud with 36 knots blowing us around the bay for 2 hours.
3 Must see attractions
1. Lycian Rock Tombs - With the weather clearing we head to town to visit and explore the famous Lycian tombs which are carved into the cliffs overlooking Fethiye. The tombs are extremely large and well maintained and a must see when visiting Fethiye.
2. Kayakoy (abandoned town) - We then hike to the abandoned village of Kayakoy, the 9km hike is hilly and much tougher than expected but well worth it. This once bustling town was home to approximately 13000 people including Anatolian Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians before a population exchange occurred in the 1920's between Greece and Turkey. It's an eerie place due to it's past and the state of the building but well worth a visit.
3. Fethiye Markets - With an empty fridge we set out early to visit the Fethiye markets. These markets are open every Tuesday and are a must if you need food or are looking to do some shopping. We found the fruit and veg to be fresh and much cheaper than Australia and fill our bags. The Turkish pancakes are famous, so we head to the sit down area and are not disappointed.
Fethiye is a great place to explore with so much history. We loved our time and hope you enjoy the video.

We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the last couple years we have sailed to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.
Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)

There is a beautiful little bay at Limanağzı just past Kaş. You snorkel with sea turtles in the bay. The Lycian way runs down the mountain behind Kaş to Limanağzı and beyond. You can hike up to the top of the mountain from the town or take a dolmuş to the small village at the top and walk back to Kaş. The view from the top will take your breath away. I used to watch the sun drop into the sea from the top then start running down the Lycian way to Kaş racing the twilight to get down before it got too dark to see the trail.

Thanks Vincent, appreciate the suggestions, unfortunately we have visited Kas already as our videos are approximately 4 weeks behind. We have since returned to Datca and are getting ready to sail to Greece. We did visit Kekova also and managed to visit some of the ruins which were fantastic. We loved the area :). Thanks for getting in contact and hope you enjoyed the video!

Nice one guys. Loved it. We miss Fethiye and the fresh produce in those markets. Spare a thought for the people of Türkiye also. Those Lettuce have gone up four times the price within the year, maybe more. Anyway cheers guys and see ya on the next vid.

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Hey bud, great, hope it brings back good memories :). Yeah it's cheap for us but I know inflation in Turkey is out of control. Monthly wages are so low compared to Oz, so it would make the cost of living hard to bear. Hope all is well in Australia, just out of curiosity what does a lettuce cost these days? Take care guys

@pedropedroztravels8272 2 года назад

@@SailingKawai Still around 8 to 10 bucks mate. We are growing our own these days . Lettuce that is 😁. Also its still raining on the East Coast, it's freakin unbelievable the amount of water that has fallen in NSW and QLD in the past 6 to 7 months. Anyway keep loving life and Be safe guys, yous are killing it. 👍

@patrickstratford9798 2 года назад

Great video again. You are both crazy walking to Kayakoy in that heat! A few years ago my wife and I visited the deserted town, after a 20 minute climb to the top of the village my wife said it was too hot to continue, I tricked her into continuing to the top by telling her there was a bar who served cold beer!! She was very gullible. Keep up the good work 👏

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Thanks Patrick, we did think it was a little silly a couple hours in hahaha. Nice move, we were hoping to find a nice little bar that served drinks :). Glad you enjoyed the video mate and thanks for letting us know, take care

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

If you have more information regarding the population exchange in Kayakoy please add to this comment :), hope you enjoy the video!

@tommywalker9437 2 года назад

You should have a look at Mick and Trudie channel, they live in Fethiye and have some great videos and tips about places all over Turkey.

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Hey Tommy, yes we have watched some of their videos for different parts of Turkey, they are great and really informative :) Hope you enjoyed it!

@Cynicalsailing 2 года назад

Really enjoyable videos guys. How far down the Turkish coast are you planning to travel?

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Hi Shane, thanks very much! We are around 4 weeks behind in our videos and have travelled to Kas and Kekova but need to leave Turkey by late July, so have just sailed today to Bodrum. Spent some time in Datca, have had the best time :). Thanks for watching

Love you guys and your adventures! Happy you are back on the Tube. I just finished a week sailing in Greece and now have to work on how I can do that full time...:-)

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Thanks Georgie, awesome, where did you sail? We are heading back to Greece in 2 weeks which we are very excited about :). I guess you loved it haha. Thanks for the kind words, good luck and hope you manage to get out on the water full time!

@georgie7310 2 года назад

@@SailingKawai Around the island of Evia - close to the mainland, very local and authentic with not too many non-Greek tourists. First time in Greece so nothing to compare it to but I am hooked! Can't wait for your next video!

How's the grey water sitch in Turkey? Is it enforced?

@SailingKawai 2 года назад

Hi, the rule we have been told is every 15 days needs to be pumped out, we just follow the rule as the fines are large but we have never been checked. Costs are about 130tl, usually the amount doesn't matter. Hope that helps :)
