The few days back in Finike marina were good and bad.
It was good to catch up with Anton of Shayelle and do some more provisioning and relaxing. But we realized that we have had a thief on board who got away with most of our extra cash that we had brought to cover us in Greece in case we cannot get anything out of ATM's; altogether about £1000! Not good. We Think this happened while we were visiting the ancient ruins at Phaselis and we were the only boat anchored there. The boat was fully locked, but he broke the forward hatch lock with a sharp object. We reported it to the marina office to warn other cruisers, but did not go through the cumbersome process of reporting it to the coast guard.
We hired a car for a day and visited Arykanda; another ancient site inland from Finike. We had not been here before, so it was very interesting and much better preserved than other sites we have seen.
From there we drove back through the mountains.
Now we are anchored in Kekovo Roads where we were 10 years ago. Still a love place, but a bit more crowded.
