Our week in Datça was awesome! We stayed in a Hotel which was another luxury for me, yay to no 12 bed dorms and shared showers for once! We ate out every night so I was trying lots of delicious Turkish food, actually I ate the best Köfte (Turkish Meatballs) while I was here. Datça is famous for its almonds so the Köfte was coated in almonds, HEAVEN! All the beaches we went to there were so clean and blue, and we drove to a different beach every day, they all had restaurants on or by the water so we alternated between sitting and relaxing at the restaurant and swimming or jumping into the water from the pontoons that all the beaches seemed to have. Another day we went out on a boat for the day, and this week was also my 23rd Birthday so basically I had the best birthday sitting by the beach on the Turkish Coast. Not a bad memory to take home.
As usual this post is extremely delayed (story of my blogging life), but I have literally had the best month travelling about, nothing could wipe the smiles off my face! I spent my last two weeks in Turkey travelling and had the most amazing time! My first week of travelling was with my host family and we went to Datça. The drive from Istanbul to Datça is somewhere around 12 hours! Because of this we stayed in Foça (near Izmir) on our first night so that we only had to drive eight hours or so that first day. It sounds like a lot but compare that to the 12 hour night buses I have done and eight hours in an actual car was heaven!
