Knidos Light House

Yesterday's mission was to climb the Knidos Light House..My dear cousin Eda and her fiance Emrah were with us.. This light house constructed in 1931 at the farmost point of Anatolia towards the Mediterranean Sea and also at the border between Mediterranean and Aegean Seas..

Dünkü görevimiz Knidos fenerine tırmanmaktı. Sevgili kuzenim Eda ve nişanlısı Emrah bizimle birlikteydi. 1931 yılında inşa edilen fener, Anadolu'nun Akdeniz'e uzanan en uç noktasında yer almakta, aynı zamanda Akdeniz ve Ege Denizi arasındaki sınır noktasını oluşturmaktadır..

It was a pretty hot day and we started to ascend slowly leaving the ancient city of Knidos below us..

Oldukça sıcak bir gündü ve Knidos antik kentini aşağılarda bırakarak yavaşça yükselmeye başladık..



It was great to see the boats still using the entrance of the antique harbour..

Antik limanın hala teknelerce kullanıldığını görmek harikaydı..

We climbed more but it was still far away...

Biraz daha tırmandık ama hedef hala oldukça uzakta görünüyordu..



Wild goats were watching this crew with great interest..

Yabani keçiler bizi ilgi ile izliyorlardı..




Finally the mission was accomplished and as usual celebratory photos were taken..

Sonunda görev tamamlandı ve adet olduğu üzere bol bol fotoğraf çektirildi...


Some wine, sandwich and plums to rest and enjoy the magnificent view where the waters after Mediterranean and Aegean were mingling with each other..

Sandviçlerin yanında biraz şarap ve erik dinlenmek ve Akdeniz ve Ege'nin sularının birbiriyle oynaştığı muhteşem manzaranın keyfini çıkarmak için yeterliydi..

Coming down is always harder than going up but a cooling rest was waiting us at the steps of the Knidos theatre..

Aşağı inmek, yukarı çıkmaktan her zaman daha zor oluyor ama antik Knidos tiyatrosunun merdivenleri dinlenmek ve serinlemek için bizi bekliyordu..

  2. Loved your trip, and especially the views and the goats! I just came back from Turkey (near Fethiye) and the Turkish coast gorgeous, seen from the road as well as from the sea. We took a 12-island boat trip and could see the coast line from the sea. Fabulous. Now I'm smitten!

  8. We were at Knidos in November. Didn't realise you could climb to the lighthouse. I took so many photos of it. İf we go back there this autumn, will definitely make the effort to go up there. It looks amazing. :)
