Alaturka Inn

  Fethiye, Turkey
Saturday, August 9, 2008

So, I stayed at Alaturka Inn before and after cruising Olympos....highly recommend it! More like a hotel then a hostel,lashed out and slept in a double room- air con, no noise-heaven to a traveller aye! Spent most of the time totally chillin by the pool sunning it up having a laugh with the chicks working behind the bar (thats right-pool side bar...Tops!)



I thought though, the best feature of the hostel was the terrace on the top floor. The veiws were honestly stunning-picture perfect panorama of Fethiye and the Aegean. The Turkish feeds they served up there were gorgeous too!!



The hostel arranges for me transfers to the blue cruise so its easy as. They helped arange alot of things for me to do in Fetehiye too, like Turkish Hammam- so so so relaxing...and cheap!


Went on a day trip to Kaya Koyu-a greek settlement dating back to the 15th century. With a population exchange argreement between the Greek and Turkish governments in the early 1900's, the greeks went back to Greece but the Turks never came back across so it become a ghost town, and remained that way with an earthquake damaging the city. Its quite eerie!

I also went on a day trip to Saklikent Gorge- the longest and deepest gorge in Turkey. Amazing! You walk like a k through water to reach Saklikent village...its super cool, the water is so refereshing, the Turkish sun cant penetrate right through the Canyon and you feel like your on another planet amongst the high rocks. Beautiful.


Alaturka Inn and Alaturka Cruises made such a difference to my trip in Turkey travelling as a solo chick, I would 100% gaurentee staying and cruising with them to anyone!!
