Arriving at the bus station in Antalya I was submerged into the craziness of transportation. There were about 100 different company signs with about 20 different city names spread out over a massive terminal. Once getting myself to the right terminal building the bus catching part was easy. There are many men standing around all saying the name of a city under there breath. I listened for Olympos and was then suffled onto a bus that promptly drove out of the station. I hoped that it was actually the right one..
At Kadirs Treehouses (my hostel) I was greeted by "Hello, you must be Emily". What?? How do you know who I am... ah, my email. Then, "For you special price, 15 TL for single room with en-suit". That works out to about 10 CAD with breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast has been the traditional Turkish breakfast of tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, olives, boiled eggs, bread and honey along with omlettes. Dinner consists of soup, a grain, a main dish of beans, lentils, or a meat, a yogurt, and sometimes salad. Overall, amazing value!
Besides eating, I have been spending the last few days exploring the ruins, swimming,and bouldering on the beach. I have met a few climbers staying in the same hostel and am off to do some real climbing today. Climbing is quite new to Turkey but I believe it will soon become an internationally well known climbing destination.
