Well, I was wrong... Kind of wrong. I did upload them all but for some reason they did get uploaded backwards. Therefore, this will be a backwards post. We will go from the end of the day to the beginning. It should be interesting...
The day ended with celebration of my boy's birthday. He turned six the last day of our trip. He was happy to get a cake with a treble clef on it. We promised him a bigger part when we are back to US but for now he was a happy camper.
Right before the cake, guess what they drank...
Pickle juice.
Such a reminder of my childhood... With a slice of pickled cucumbers in it...
For dinner we were at Alacati. It is a neighboring town to Cesme and quite famous lately with it's small hotels, famous restaurants and shops, and very cute streets.
This was my dinner; seafood salad. It was absolutely wonderful. Before and after dinner, we walked around, shopped, and just enjoyed the busy streets. We found out that we were way too early for dinner and some of the restaurants did not even start serving dinner. But at the end, we found one and we were very happy with it.
Before we headed for Alacati, we went to the town center of Cesme. There is a pretty big size castle in the center of the town. It has been recently restored. It was very well kept, clean, and organized. I can easily say that it was the best castle tour we did in our trip. The view was just breath taking...
Before we went to the castle we had the famous gum cookies. The cookies contain mastic gum and you can smell it and taste flavor in the cookies. They were just out of the oven. Kids were not crazy about them but I and my husband each enjoyed one.
This is the town center of Cesme, which consists of shops, restaurants and bakeries.
We spent the morning at one of the famous beach clubs at Cesme called Paparazzi. The beach club concept was new to us but it apparently means that you get some seating and umbrella in return of spending around $20 per person during the day. They have small restaurants and serves not only food but also drinks, ice cream, etc. and you just hang out.
I have miserably failed to take picture of what I ate for lunch. It was some sort of sea weed salad with a slice of cheese bread. It was really good but no pictures... But there are pictures of my favorite people swimming in beautiful Mediterranean sea...
