I was keen to walk some of the coast between Ordinez and Kas, but it was really hard to get much information, plus it was pretty hot for walking. So in the end we decided to do a day trip from Butterfly Valley to Kabak Beach then get the dolmus back.
The coast along here is spectacular. It would be wonderful to see in clear air - perhaps winter or spring?

| Butterfly Valley - the beach is only accessable by boat or via an extremely steep path involving ropes |
The walk was away from the coast through pine forrest - sometimes single track, othertimes dirt roads.
Then a steep track down to Kabak Beach where we had another swim. Not too crowded here as difficult access and a dead end road.
Then we headed off on an insanely steep and windy road towards Kas. Fortunately not much traffic but I can't help but be nervous and annoy Dermot every time I gasp with fear.

| Amazing views though |

| Even dirt for some of it |
Tonight I thought we were heading to a hotel in the middle of nowhere where we wouldn't find anyone. Wrong, I don't think that exists in Turkey. The place is called Gelemis and surprise, surprise it has more ancient Roman ruins. But we might give them a miss. Our general path now is towards Cappadocia, but that's a long drive away.
