Katranci to Fethiye

Fully appreciated the campsite in an idyllic bay, especially due to its blissfully peaceful setting. We both slept soundly the whole night through, which has been a rarity in Turkey. Not only are we woken by the call to prayer around dawn, but as it is Ramadan, someone runs around banging a drum at around 3am to wake folks up so they can eat before the sun rises. Usually there is a flock of chickens nearby too, dogs that bark at each other through the night and often the odd donkey braying for good measure. A challenge for even the heaviest sleepers. Rode on a short way to Fethiye to do some shopping. İn the evenıng we wandered to the fish market where you can buy your own fish and then take it to a restaurant where theyll cook it for a small fee and throw in pıtta and salad to make it into a tasty meal.
