for more information about Turkey on the Lonely Planet web site (it will
appear in a new window). We began our voyage on the southern coast of Turkey, just west of
Antalya. After we provisioned the boat (a nautical term that essentially means
"make sure everything works and then go to the supermarket"), we traveled up the coast, past Bodrum and Ephesus, to the city of
Ayvalık. From somewhere north of Izmir, we'll cross to an offshore island
and make our way to the coast of Greece. Most of the places we saw in 2003
weren't on the previous year's itinerary. Late in the season, we returned to
the southern coast of Turkey and left Swept Away in Finike again.
It's a real Turkish town, with wonderful people and a very capable
boatyard. |
