Photos from the Trail - Part I

Fethiye to Kalkan

The old starting gate which you now reach half way through day 2
Climbing out of Fethiye on the first afternoon
The ghost village
The first of many coastal views
One of many lovely potential camping spots
Olive trees are a big feature of the landscape
Beautiful Kabak beach was unfortunately too rough for swimming
Rain was quite rare, but here was a thunderstorm approaching
The view from Catchy Camping where I stopped for a cup of tea
The first five days were quite rocky
Generally speaking waymarking was perfectly adequate
They really wanted to make sure you turned right here!
High up after a climb the sea looks especially tempting
The rocky terrain is very much goat country
Quite a bit of the farmed land is terraced
Lunch in Gey at a small shop featured pickled olive leaves
Carpets of daisies
Wildflowers were in abundance
The sort of sign a hungry trekker likes to see
First view of snow covered mountains
The first five days are especially rocky with lots of up and down
Tortoises are a common sight on the trail
The castle walls near Patara beach
 Wonderful stone work seen in the detail of the castle walls
Letoon lies directly beside the trail
The beautiful amphitheatre at Xanthos
Tortoise traffic jam
There is a lengthy but delightful stretch along a roman aqueduct
There are views over a veritable sea of greenhouses for tomato production
The astonishing aqueduct at Delikkemer
Each section of "pipework" is carved out of solid stone
The hugely impressive wall supporting the "water pipe"
