Sun, beach, relaxation – and a cave. A couple of days ago Yvonna, Daniel, Deniz from Ankara and me hitch-hiked down south to a nice place called Olympos. We went together in one group and it was amazing that people were picking up 4 people with big bags, at night, even in regular cars. The first day we started at 4pm from Ankara and made it 5 or so lifts later to Antalya by 4am the next morning. We never waited more than an hour for a lift. In Antalya we slept at the beach, went for a walk in town next day and made our way to Olympos, which is “situated” around 60km south. Olympos is usually very crowded with head-wrecker package holiday tourists, but because the season is over and people are afraid to make holidays in the warzone Turkey, everything is pretty quiet and hostels and food places look very empty. Tumbleweeds and all. From 2pm to 5pm though there are around 50 million tourist day-tour-cruise boats arriving to Olympos for a little stop-over, spilling out a hundred white-skinned, silly dressed anti-tourists each, stumbling through the sand, intaking their quick bath+tan, looking under every stone in a distance of 100m from their boat, getting on the nerve of everyone, but bringing the well-needed shower of money. The scene is accompanied with some nice summer hit pop music blaring from the overheated speakers on the boats. The spectacle is getting smaller and smaller every day though, phew.. Oh, got to go. Will write some more about the cave we are living in some other time. Please, friends, don’t be upset if I don’t find the time to reply to you by e-mail individually.. This here is for all of you. 🙂
