We woke up to a wonderful sunrise and the sound of those goat bells on the dramatic hills around us.
We set sail early having our breakfast at sea as we thought we would try to sail to Kalkan, some fifty miles away. We had a lovely sail all morning, reefing later on as the wind built up at lunchtime. However we had head winds all day and the wind wasn't veering as predicted so we decided to head back to Fethiye.
We arrived at Fethiye late afternoon and we headed for Ece Marina where we were directed to 
our berth by Osman. He later came on board to advise us on places to sail to where his various cousins run restaurants in out of the way anchorages.

Fethiye is a large town with a fascinating history and strong local culture. Poeple were gearing up for the summer tourist season and lots of Gulets were being prepared in the harbour.
In the evening we visited the local amphitheatre and market before eating ashore.
