So we were picked up by our paragliding company from our hotel at around 0945, then it was a short drive to their company storefront on the beach of \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz, where we agreed to the terms and conditions, watched how others paraglide above us, and have them drive us up the mountains. <\/br>Forest South of Fethiye<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Streets of \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz Town<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Boats along Oludeniz Beach<\/br>One-day package tour of the islands.<\/span><\/p><\/div> <\/br>Mediterranean beyond Oludeniz<\/p><\/div>\n It’s hard to put the paragliding experience into words. Well, the views of the \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz gulf was spectacular, the breeze on my face was invigorating, it’s just so nice. Since we three didn’t have much breakfast, we decided to finish lunch just on the \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz beach. At around 75TL, it turned out to be the most expensive meal we three had in Turkey (the others were amazingly steadily around 50TL). I guess it must be due to the beach access. <\/br>Restaurant where We Had Lunch<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Hamburger as Our Lunch<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Pizza as Our Lunch<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Beach Chairs on Oludeniz Beach<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n After that, we took the local bus back to Fethiye (I guess it’s 5TL\/person, if I remembered correctly), fetched our bags at the hotel, and headed for the bus station. Luckily, we arrived at the bus station just in time for the 1430 bus to Ka\u015f.<\/p>\n <\/br>Fethiye Suburb<\/p><\/div> <\/br>D400 Route outside Fethiye<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Mountains East of Fethiye<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n The majority of the leg from Fethiye to Ka\u015f was through majestic mountains of inland Turkey, the coastal D400 route only constitute a small portion of that towards the end.<\/p>\n <\/br>Turkish Farmland and Mountains South of Fethiye<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Turkish Countryside<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Gateway to Kinik Town<\/p><\/div> Half an hour later, finally, Mediterranean Sea. <\/br>Mediterranean Sea by Kalkan<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Town of Kalkan<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Town of Kalkan<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Streets of Kalkan<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Mediterranean Sea by Kalkan<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Fields South of Ulug\u00f6l Town<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Islands in Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Kaputa\u015f Beach<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Kaputa\u015f Beach<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Kaputa\u015f Beach<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Islands in Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Island Connecting to Mainland<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Greek Islands of Ro and Ka\u015ftellorizo in Mediterranean Sea<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Signs along Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Plaj Beach<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Plaj Beach<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Rocky Shore of Mediterranean Sea by South Turkey<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Greek Island of Ka\u015ftellorizo in Mediterranean Sea<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula and Greek Islands of Ka\u015ftellorizo<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Turkish Route D400 and Distant Greek Islands of Ka\u015ftellorizo<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula and Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula and Coastal Turkish Route D400<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships Harbored in Ka\u015f Marina<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships Harbored in Ka\u015f Marina and Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships Harbored in Ka\u015f Marina and Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships Harbored in Ka\u015f Marina and Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Streets of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Walkway near Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Turkish Flag against Setting Sun<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor, with Backdrop of Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sunset over Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor, with Backdrop of Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Lighthouse of Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Lighthouse and Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor, with Backdrop of Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor, with Backdrop of Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Buildings of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Buildings of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor, with Backdrop of Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in & out Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor under Sunset<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Lighthouse of Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Greek Island of Ka\u015ftellorizo from Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sunset over Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Buildings in Ka\u015f under Mountain<\/p><\/div> <\/br> <\/br>Sunset over Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Sunset Glow over Ka\u015f Peninsula<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Mediterranean Sea beyond Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Cat on Ka\u015f Harbor Breakwater<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Harbor and Bar Street<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Restaurants of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Greek Islands of Ro and Ka\u015ftellorizo off Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ka\u015f Harbor and Coastal Buildings<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Coastal Restaurants of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ancient Tomb by Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Mountains to the East of Ka\u015f<\/p><\/div> <\/br>Ships in Ka\u015f Harbor<\/p><\/div> Third day of sightseeing in Turkey, maybe this was the least active day so for.

\nAbout those boat tours, I personally preferred the tours offered at Ka\u015f, which featured underground ruins of Kekova Islands, rather than just simple island tours at \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz (or Fethiye). Another benefit of adding a stop in Ka\u015f was that, we got to enjoy the Turkey’s beautiful coastal route D400 on our way to Antalya. I know most buses from Fethiye to Antalya chose the inland thoroughfares over the winding coastal route.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBut I won’t put any of my photos here, since my face was in every one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe town of Kinik was next to the ruins of Xanthos, a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s only after I searched the Internet that I recalled the reconstruction of Nereid Monument I saw a few years ago in the British Museum.
\nOur bus made a stop in the Kinik Bus Station. Having visited the ruins of Ephesus, my parents didn’t want to visit any more \u201csimilar\u201d ruins, so we didn’t plan a stop here.<\/p>\n

\nThe majority of people on the bus seemed to be local residents doing commute, so I seemed to be the only one that couldn’t stop running camera shutters.

\nIt was only 6 o’clock when we put down our bags in the hotel, so my father and I decided to scout around this little town and booked us on tomorrow’s boat trip to Kekova’s islands.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nAlthough the turmoil going on elsewhere in the country hadn’t spread to this little tourist town, its repercussions certainly did, as basically every boat in the harbor was offering Kekova trip at 70TL per person, which was a lot cheaper than the rates I saw in online blogs. We finally managed to talk it down to 60 EUR for 3 persons.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nI also saw on other blogs that there was also paragliding in Ka\u015f. Well, the mountains next to Ka\u015f harbor was nowhere as high as the ones near Oludeniz (although rising airflow could make a huge difference), and the landing spot in Ka\u015f was frankly, a harbor driveway parked with cars. I was so glad I made the right choice about paragliding in Oludeniz.

\nI stayed in the harbor for a little bit longer, as I put myself at ease in the refreshing breeze from the sea.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a>
\nThen, I witnessed a breathtaking sunset over the Ka\u015f Peninsula.
