Turkey day 7 - Paradise Island

This was our last day, but we weren't leaving until late so we checked out, left our luggage at the hotel and walked into town. We caught a Dolmus minibus down the coast to Paradise Island, which is actually a peninsula near the large marina about 10km from Marmaris. There was a yacht race going on in the bay.

We walked up a path towards the highest point on the island, and met a party of walkers who recommended a path that goes to a natural cave which has some historical interest - people used to live and shelter there in the past.

We walked to the other side of the island and had lunch overlooking the bay to the south.

Returning to the marina we caught the Dolmus back to Marmaris, where we had a last walk round. At the mosque a very helpful prayer-caller showed us round.

We had a last dinner at a local restaurant where we had Turkish pizza. Then we went back to the hotel where we sat in the bar until time for the coach.

The journey back was uneventful, but it was early morning before we arrived home.
