Kas

However, Kas is a lovely town - clearly a tourist destination but still a real town and still a turkish town. On our first visit here we stayed in the old port but when we returned we went to the new marina we'd been told about (our pilot book for Turkey is quite old!). The old port was fine and nice to be in the centre of town but it is a bit noisy, busy with dive boats and gulets and as is quite normal in such small harbours anchors get crossed/tangled - although the gulet crews are helpful and relaxed about sorting things out without any stress. Anyway, the new marina was just amazing - easily the best we've ever seen. If Gocek has been voted no 3 in the world then kas is definitely no 1. so we stayed a few days to treat ourselves to a bit of luxury (also the forecast was strong NW headwinds which are normal in summer on this part of the coast - coming down we had 20 to 28 knots which was wonderful for a downwind ride but wouldn't be much fun heading upwind so we waited for a quieter day). This also allowed Iain to watch the second lions v Australia rugby test, some of the Tour and some more tennis from Wimbledon (most importantly Andy Murray's game on Monday). So a wonderful stop.
