VH-KDK Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Do a lot of reading on the BBC News site of late and read last night about the sudden decline in tourism in Turkey. This inspired me to have a flight there. Not knowing much about the country I looked on Google Earth and picked out the Mediterranean coast. Was I pleasantly surprised. 1. Actually started on the Greek island of Kastellorizo LGKJ which is just 2 miles off the Turkish coast. 2. 3. After heading north west for a while we turn back over the ancient city of Patara. 4. The town of Kinik can just be seen throught the clouds. 5. The flight is far from over while we are over Ova and now starting to marvel yet again just how good OLC EU coupled with Pilots Mesh is. 6. In the region of Yesilyurt, love these place names! The tallest peak in the area Kizlar Sivrisi is visible. 7. Approaching the Gulf of Anatalya in the Bakrlkoy region with the Taurus Mountains in the distance. 8. 9. After crossing the Gulf of Antalya landfall is reached at the town of Alanya. 10. Looking down the coast towards Kargicak, a very tourist orientated part of the world. Just noticed a big box of Turkish Delight in the cupboard, something very tasty to much on while flying! Hope you enjoyed the flight, this is an area well worth exploring with it's spectacular mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack, a friend of mine went on a farming info trip in the 90s and said how great a place it is. He was impressed by the friendliness of the people he met especially in the country.
