We started waking up to the rising sun somewhere on the Taurus Mountain range before Fethiye. The night in the bus had been quite pleasant, and to my surprise, we had actually slept pretty well (Turkish busses are comfortable in fact). As we now approached the coast, we were so excited about our third part of the trip that would take us along the Mediterranean coast line. Although it was really early, we couldn’t sleep anymore, but kept watching as the hilly road started descending towards our destination. It was about 7am as we got to the central station of Fethiey, which is located in the outskirts of the town. We had to get a taxi for the last couple of kilometres to reach our hotel by the seaside. We had decided to treat ourselves for a little nicer hotel this time, thinking it would be a nice relaxation after a night in a bus. This early we couldn't check-in but let me tell you, the Turkish hospitality was on its best once again: we got to use their Spa downstairs to get all freshened up, and then enjoy the breakfast on the waterfront (which I can assure was the best breakfast we have ever seen or eaten- free of charge). We knew it would be a great day.
