Arrival at JoSiTo´s Geyikbayiri, Turkey

After 1600 km of cycling the 'Stans and Turkey, 3 weeks mountaineering in Kirgistan, 150 km of trekking on the Lycian and Saint Paulus path, and and and I finally landed in Geyikbayiri. Which was originally the only destination decided and planned.
Turns out going super spontaneously on a cycling and mountaineering trip in between is always a good decision. I do not regret one step of the last 3 month, and I can highly recommend to all of you: Move on when you are not happy! Do not get stuck for too long - there is a lot stuff out there that wants to get explored.

So thats my home (more pics behind the link) for the next two month.
Visitors are very much welcomed. So jump on a plane and come by!!

Rock 'n' Roll with Evi

EVIIII, joined me for the Paulus Path - awesome!!! So I didn't have to drink my Raki and Wine all by myself in the evenings :)

The path was lovely, and Charlys Pension in Egirdir is a beautiful place to stay.

Turkish Kahve in Antalya, yummie!

Turkish people love their cats. Insane.

Best thing ever: having some Ayran and Milk after a Walnut Cake.

Freshly picked tea has its effect

 Raki on ice - can highly recommend this as "Betthupferl"

Hard work on the Lycian path

In my first week in Turkey I found out that Turkish men like chaseing female tourists, the word "toilet seat" has a funny turkish translation and that the loudest grasshoppers/crickets, whatever they are, live in front of my window.
What will happen next week?
Well, as I got to known to a turkish mountaineering guide on Pik Lenin, telling him that I will spend 3 Weeks in Turkey without doing anything, he took me directly under contract. Starting tomorrow my task will be to do two one-week treks on the Lycian and the Paulus path and prepare descriptions for selfguided adventurers. Insider told me that I can expect delicious food, amazing views and nice turkish mountain hotels. I am exited! Hopefully no abrupt end like with my last challenge.
On the 23rd of September I will then head to JoSiTo Climbers Guesthouse where I will take the chance to work for food and accomodation. One day working, next day off --> CLIMBING!!! Yay!

KİMON: If you are followiıng, the food pictures are for you ;)

Did you know how pomegranates grow?

Freshly baked Pide, sizzling fısh, vegetables, ayran - delicious!
