Turkey
Alanya to Marmaris
Hello Again
Well, eventually we were checked into Turkey after 48 hours sitting around the Alanya Marina waiting, and waiting and waiting!!!! A long story, but it turns out there is a bit of a political battle going on between the new marina with the officials. Something they really need to get sorted. We did manage a couple of trips into town, one on the second day, before we were checked in as there was no one around. Alanya is a modern tourist resort around a high peninsula which was known as Calonoros, and in the 2nd century B.C. was a very big pirate stronghold. (Thought we were well clear or that area!!) The restored castle and walls were worth the visit, along with the stunning views up and down the Mediterranean coastline.
