The Ladders and other interesting wooden structures of the Lycian Way

 Kayakoy, beautiful wooden furniture in a restaurant called Roots. It was closed when we walked by it on our way to the ghost town, since the owner was organizing a music festival and was quite frazzled when we met him.

Approaching a tea shop on a farm on the way from Ovacik to Faralya.

With more rustic furniture. We had delicious caj, served by a young woman as she was tending her one year old little girl who had just learnt to walk. 

A pile of sticks......on the way to Faralya.

A disused beehive under a grapevine on the way to Faralya.

The "kush" at George's house in Faralaya, turned out to be our favourite way of sitting.

Cabanas built on the rocks at Arktas beach.

Tree trunk cross sections used for a patio on the way to Kabak.

A shelter built into the mountainside at Kabak.

Arriving in Antalaya

It was a shock to be in the city after all the time in the mountains of Lycia and small villages.
Our hotel was in the old town, Kelici, very charming.

With a small swimming pool in the courtyard.
The entrance in a little alley.
We had a posh dinner on Thursday night at a restaurant overlooking the sea.
On Friday we explored old town and visited the archeological museum.
