Day 116 – Rest day (sort of)

Fethiye - Hotel Oykun

We headed off after breakfast to get the refund for our trip to Rhodes, and were told that the hydrofoil had been cancelled due to expected high winds, but we have been wondering whether it was overbooked, as the weather didn’t seem that bad to us.

We didn’t mind so much however as it was an expensive day out at about $150 just for the ferry tickets, we’ll just have to visit Greece some other time. The guy that sold us the ticket was also a little disappointed, as he was hoping we were going to pick up some duty free Smirnoff for him!

As our hotel is at Calis Beach which is a little way out of Fethiye we caught the bus into town. There are some interesting Lycian sarcophaguses in the centre of town, just in amongst the normal buildings, and we also spent some time walking around the marina foreshore which is similar to Bodrum, though nowhere near as busy or exclusive looking. We then caught the water taxi back to Calis Beach.

We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the sun lounges around the pool and soaking up the lovely sun – with our tops on of course!
