Sunset in Akbuk

You get some lovely sunsets over in Akbuk ... here's just another example.

New Market

This is a new seasonal market by Tansas on the way to Akbuk; a much more traditional market than that found in Didim on a Saturday.

Who needs the Egyptian spice market in Istanbul when you can find it all much closer to home ...

and you can pick out just the produce you want from a huge selection of groceries on offer.

Arti

And here we have Sue fighting with the tagliatelli on another evening in Arti ...

Kusadası

We took a couple of our friends to Kusadası to pick up their residency permits on Tuesday. Their car is old and hasn't got air-con, so we took pity on them. The big cruise ships were lining up to dock, but even so, the town didn't feel too busy.

By the time we left there were 3 or 4 ships docked. We have a regular refreshment stop when we go to Kusadasi, a hotel on the sea-front that offers a buffet 3 course lunch for 7.50TL (about £3.00) including coffee, which even by Turkish standards is an absolute bargain.
