A day in paradise

Blue water surrounded by mountains. In the far distance but you can clearly see it, there is a mountain with snow. To my left tens of gorëk boats sailing. Little houses spread around the mountain. Just like a movie! The Turkish flag waving from the boat. The sun is strong, there are white strokes of clouds on the sky. The breeze is cold and fresh, the smell of the sea is refreshing and makes you feel alive. 

We are on a Görek boat visiting the 12 Islands. On this boat we will stop on 5 islands spending an hour on each of them and then going back. Lunch is included with choice of chicken and fish: of course chicken!

The boat had capacity for 75 people, it's low season, thank god there are no more than 25 people today. The boat is divided in 3 areas with foam things to lay down. We sit on the top own, it's the quiet one and away from all the chaos.

On the first stop I see two boys jumping of the boat into the water and of course I'll do it (it reminded me of the time I did the same in Eilat). The water is warm on the top and super duper cold on the bottom. As I jumped and my body hits the water its a shock! With the jumping you go so deep that on the way back you have time to make sure everything is in the right spot! Jajajaja

The water is clear! Not Miami clear, drinking water clear! You can see the bottom, the sun reflecting deep under.

We swam to a cave! It's so cool! I thought this things you could only see them in movies or pictures! Never thought I would be able to see them first hand.

Once back in the boat it's lunch time! A nice buffet table is made with 4 different salads and a nice grilled chicken is served! Omg! The fish was served as an actual fish an everything, face included! 

We met two boys and sat together. They are from Turkey: Tavil from Istanbul visiting his friend Azis who works in Fethiye. They are nice, down to earth, and fun.

Some of the islands were beautiful and some other ahhh not so much, but the entire situation made everything beyond beautiful, picture perfect!

It's 5 o'clock! Time to sail back to Fethiye but... Upssss, the engine does not start! Jajajaja. The fact that we were not so many it was a very relaxed (at least for us, the captain and crew were soooo concern) we even were thinking how cool to sleep under the stars and see the sunset out there!  Well... After 30 mins they make the engine work but now.... Ancla it's not coming up! Jajajaja... The entire crew, 5 people including captain, had to pull it up.

It took them 20 minutes to been able to bring it up! 

Now yes, ready to sail back I say with my legs hanging out, facing the islands with Fethiye on my back. The breeze is cold and fresh, the view is breathtaking. It was one of the moments were the best picture I could take was the one with my eyes! Treasure this views, smells, and feelings forever!
