Vibrant village life
People i met here who contributed to, and improved my trip:
Originally i had no intention of making a stop in Kas, other than to change dolmush, but as i had missed out on seeing Tlos earlier in the day, i decided that i could afford myself an hour to walk around in the gorgeous afternoon sunshine. The bus company agreed to store my bag for an hour, in return for me using their dolmush to Kale at 16.30, which i was only too happy to agree on, then off i went.
There aren't any major tourist attractions in Kas, thats not the reason why people visit the tiny little fishing of 6000 people. Its beauty lies in its location, set on a hill facing out to sea, with quaint little houses lining the cobbled streets that make up the central area.
Back in the centre of the village i went down to the harbour, which looked stunning with the moody sky and terraced house offering an idyllic backdrop. As i started taking some photos i was surprised to hear some quacking, and when i looked down i saw numerous ducks, just below where i was standing. I went down to say hello, but i was feeling to hungry to share any of my food them on this occasion.
Heading away from the water, i wandered up some small streets that were lined with lovely little houses that had balconies jutting out into the street.
It seemed a shame that i was going to have to leave so soon, but to be honest, there wasn't a great deal more to do anyway. Back at the bus terminal i tried to ring my couchsurfing host Ertan, but the pay phone was yet again broken, which was rather frustrating. The hour long journey to Kale cost 6YTL ($4) and skirted the Mediterranean coastline, with the sun setting to the West and the full moon to the East, shining brightly over the imposing mountains.
