The view from the top of town looking over the rooves of the old houses to the snow covered mountains.
Drinking water fountain in an old tree - lovely fresh spring water from the mountains.
The old style of house which was covered with wattle and daub using mud / manure and straw
As we were walking around the old part of town we came across a group of about 20 men having lunch in the street. As they were praying when we got there, we walked quickly and quietly so as not to disturb them. One man then followed us and in Turkish and sign language was very insistent that we go back and join them. Being a bit unsure at first the seven of us, including 3 women, kept walking but then thought "why not?" As soon as we sat down this huge array of food appeared on our table with chicken soup, lamb/goat casserole, rice, bread and a delicious semolina pudding. They would not accept any payment, just wanted to ensure we had had enough food. How wonderful!

The main purpose of the trip, organised by the marina, was to visit the Lykia winery.
