And so to Olympos...

After very reluctantly getting off the boat, we headed off on another bus to make our way to Olympos. This trip just seemed to take forever - but I think we were both struggling with the shock of coming from the fab-ness of the boat to having to deal with transport and stuff again. Anyhow - by the time we got to Olympos (about 5.5 hours) we were knackered.

But oh - what bliss Olympos was! We stayed at Saban Pension and it was fantastic. The most chilled out, relaxed place I've stayed at. So again - not much to say really - we spent 3 very lazy days on the beach, and chilling out before/after dinner in the courtyard. The food was fantastic, the swimming was good, the posh sun loungers were lovely - nothing to complain about at all! Strolling through the ruins of Olympos to get to the beach...

One night we went up to the Chimaera which was seriously cool. Even coming from the volcanic NZ, I've never seen anything like this. Very odd to see flames coming straight out of the ground - and watching people blow them out and then just have them spontaneously re-ignite. Very very cool!
