| Sunday, July 29, we finally left Kekova Roads and motored to Finike, 15 nautical miles away. As there was no anchorage in Finike, we had to stay in the town marina. Finike was a Turkish market town of 11,000 people and one of Turkey�s main citrus growing areas, with the earliest and latest fruits of the season grown in this region. The town�s logo was an orange as it was especially known for its oranges. There was little tourism, and so almost everything was less expensive, from groceries to eating out. On walks we were stopped frequently by locals wanting to practice their little English, and when buying goods at local stores we were invited for not just one cup of tea, but often 2 or more cups. We were without doubt charmed by this town. |
