Marmaris

OMG we have discovered the Ibiza of the Eastern Mediterranean - that is if you're over 50 and Russian or English and want to dance the night away to music of the 60's 70's and 80,s Thank god for my earplugs that's all can say. The beach is grey gravel but the water is beautiful clear blue and almost warm enough to swim. The trip here was through pine forested mountains and past cotton fields and fig orchards. On the way we visited three sets of ruins, Priene, a walled hill town which we explored up and down, an amazing roman theatre with tunneled walkways and marble stairs at Miletus and the Temple of Apollo in Didyma. The temple was enormous, set in the middle of the village where we had lunch. Helped Janice haggle for a lovely silk carpet and perhaps would have bought my own except stangely enough I couldn't find my husband with the money!!!











See you soon

Love Wendy and Graeme
