Yesterday we travelled from Bodrum to Fithiye, stopping off at a 6th century B.C. Caunian ruin near Dalyan. The city changed from Caunian to Greek to Roman over the years and was abandoned several times due to malaria, finally in 800 A.D. The reed delta near the city was where the memorable "leech" scenes of the movie the African Queen were filmed. We looked for giant loggerhead turtles that can live to 400 years, but they did not cooperation.
P.S.: this blog is a day late due to computer "technical difficulties."
