Route summary
A remote hotel in the mountains with helpful staff; a large ranch complex with plenty of additional activities for the super-active; a 'chilled-out' eco camp by the sea; wonderful bungalows set in an orange grove; dinner on floating tables at Adrasan and a good hotel in old Antalya. Varied and interesting and very Turkish!
