Turkey- Olu Deniz

Just been away for ten days in Turkey, great weather and plenty to do, it was amazing. I managed 10 days with no phone and no crafting!

This is Olu Deniz beach:

The weather was awesome even though it was October it was above 30 degrees during the day. the other half and me did a jeep safari which included seeing the ruins of Tlos, a mud bath and a fish farm. We went on two boat rides to visit different beaches and enjoyed a bonfire on the beach with traditional Turkish dancing. Went snorkelling nearly every day, there was plenty of life near the rocks on the beach and on the boat trips. 

We are both qualified skuba divers so we went skuba diving. It was our first dive from a boat, in the sea and in a different country, three in one! The water was so clear! I've heard Turkey isn't that great for skuba diving so I didn't have my hopes up for much but I loved it sooo many fish and life that I've not seen in person before. We saw a turtle too in the 'Blue Lagoon' apparently there is only two turtles in there so lucky us :). 

Food was great and not too expensive, Oh and don't forget the cocktails: 


Back to crafting soon.
