The last ten days we've spent slowly cruising our way up the Western coast of Turkey. We're currently anchored in a beautiful little bay with clear water and a great swimming beach with hiking trails leading into the hills behind. Last night we had the bay to ourselves which has been a first in Turkey so we plan to make the most of it and spend a few days here! Today we'll take our dinghy across to the southern side of the bay to the marina off Yalikavak Village to take a look around and pick up some provisions.

The Turkish coast sounds fabulous. When we were crusing we met many Europeans who raved about boating the Turkish coast. Love your posts.
