Anchor stern to the South seawall, taking care of a bit of rock rip rap. TL130/day includes electricity.

 

Excellent dinner at Aubergines

 

Took  a day trip to Xanthos and Saklikent Gorge TL50 pp. You hike up a small river in a narrow gorge sometimes up to your waist in muddy water. The canyon walls are a couple of hundred feet high and the gorge as little as 20 feet across. Lots of fun. Several restaurants along the stream down from the gorge.

 

Next, we rafted down the river in inner tubes 35TL/pp. A van meets you several miles downstream and hauls you back to the base. The water is refreshing. The river is fast at the start then feeds into a wider shallow section where the stream divides in several places leaving you to drag your tube to get back to the main stream if you choose the wrong channel.

 

Dinner the second night at Zeki’s la Terraza – good and inexpensive
