Sailing from Fetiye to Olympus

From Fetiye we decided to take a 4 day boat cruise to Olympus. There were about ten people in total on the boat and it was amazing. We could just jump in the water whenever we wanted and we slept out on deck under the stars! We stopped at loads of different places along the way and there were loads of water sports and finally I tried the tubes! I’ve been dying to for ages (its where there is a giant swim ring attached to the back of a speed boat by the way). The driver was crazy and was going really fast in all different directions so it was really difficult to hold on, then I realised that my bikini was struggling to stay on as well, I was trying to hold on to it but then the driver took a sudden turn and I flashed my day glow boobs (they have never seen the sun in their lives) at a passing boat which was pretty embarrassing and then I toppled backwards out of the ring and half drowned!  It was exhilarating but would recommend doing it with a t-shirt on!

The boat sailed on and we passed a sunken city (happened after an earthquake and it about 25 meters under sea level) which was fab as bits of ruins were jotting out of the water. We got off the boat to explore passing islands and saw loads of mountain goats and there was also a full moon while we were on the boat which was the most amazing moon ever - it was massive and bright orange! We arrived in Olympus where the boat terminated and it was quite cute there, very natural and they had loads of tree houses that you can sleep in and some woods and a beach where there are loads of ruins.

 At nighttime we climbed up, what seemed like a huge mountain, to see one of the incredible natural wonders that Turkey has to offer. There are flames that naturally come out of the rocks at the top of this mountain, it was lovely and apparently years ago the flames were much bigger, but it occurs as a particular type of gas (cant remember what) comes from under the rocks!If it was in Thailand there would have been a load of sellers up there with marshmallows!
