Two weeks of backpacking left me with fun and heart warming, wonderful memories. I stopped in great places and visited lots of Greek and Roman sites. Antalya, Kas, Bodrum, Patara, Fethiye were along my path and they were all unique in their own way, with the last one named here being my favorite. There are one day cruises to enjoy. The clean water and small island hopping along the way were a delight along with the sun baking on the bridge and the baths in the cool sea water; A water I made contact with through a spaghetti like yellow plastic tube going through the boat’s deck into the sea.
Also, you can choose the three day cruise from Fethiye to Olympos, or reverse. Olympus (Olympos in Turkish) is a place that welcomes you with hundreds of beds in wood cabins or tree houses, with a summer party and disco dance atmosphere, and an Indiana Jones like path of vine covered Roman ruins to the nearby beach. So you can feel like a child again sleeping in a tree house; like a hormones gone wild teen dancing the night away; like an adventurous Indiana Jones exploring the ancient ruins; like a fisherman by the sea if you have the calling; or like a masochist taking sun on the rocky beach near by. If you like it busy, go in July or August, and if you want to explore at a quiet time May or October would be more fit.
