Our first proper trip into downtown Dalyan. It’s Saturday and that’s when they have the weekly market going on.
LOVE!
So we will do that plus explore a little as I really want to take the boat trip that takes you to all the popular sites via (you guessed it) boat.
Looking around we come across this awesome sign 😉
Just because it’s a cliche doesn’t make it wrong…
Just like just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you 😉
Big love <3
Weekly Dalyan market!
Most of these weekly markets in Turkey are very similar, but never the same.
I love them just the same.
This one also had a wonderful assortment of the usual goodies: Clothes, accessories, shoes, sunglasses, stuff for the beach, fruits and vegetables and friendly tourists who offer you lots of strawberries (This last one might depend on how lucky you are as a person in general. Ehem 😀 ).
These things are pretty overpriced compared to what they are sold for back in the east.
Every time I come across the price tag I always think ‘Oh, I’ll just buy it from India’ as if it’s juts a few steps away… (Which it is, but from my heart – always had a soft spot for India, especially its people. Perhaps because that’s where my sister from another mother, AKA my guardian angel Anita, first came into this world? I personally think it is a past life experience but that’s a whole other level of thinking 😀 ).
And sometimes you fall and that’s okay.

Turkey travel tip:
We’re going to take our city tour by boat on Tuesday.
Always opt for the weekday option to avoid crowds.
Or opt to live in a country that’s greatly favored by suicide bombers.
Another excellent way to avoid crowds.
My memories of ‘glory days’ consisted of being able to down a whole bottle of wine followed by vodkas and a few tequilas to polish it off and still be standing.
Now, having quit almost all vices, sugar being the most recent one, my definition of ‘wild’ is having ice cream.
Anyway, I had ice cream that day.
I still haven’t forgotten it…
How sad…
Happy House Restaurant – English breakfast in Dalyan
Another place we strolled by and wished we had seen earlier. We make a mental note to come back here – didn’t catch the name of the cafe but it’s next to the Sirius Hotel.
