On the road D400 we had to go through 4 tunnels. There was no possibility to go around 🤯
Who knows us a bit, cycling through a tunnel is the worst, we hate it!
Never before we've seen these buzzers 🖲️ to start the blinking lights around the 'attention, there are cyclists' sign. Actually, we dont know if this helps a lot, at daylight... But of course we pushed the buzzer! In the end of that day we found a campspot, not a magical, romantic nature surrounded spot, but ok...
The wild weather calmed down. In the evening, we found a campspot in a small bay on the deserted beach, next to cucumber greenhouses. The cucumber gardener saw us and immediately brought us a handful of freshly picked cucumbers 🥒 So friendly! (It was the last day of Eid al-Fitr, the celebration after ramadan). He confirmed that we can spend the night here without any worries. We had a very good night there. It was quiet, we felt completely safe and were able to sleep deeply 😴
After another day of cycling 🚵♀️ 🚵♂️ over the hills with amazing views over the coastline 🏞️ and through valleys and bays full of greenhouses, we had to settle for a less idyllic place to sleep. It was noisy, from the busy road nearby, and because of several guys, who had to speed through the park with their motorized vehicles 🛵 🚖 until the early morning hours... At least at one tent side the view to the sea was nice 😎
One day later we where lucky again!
In Anamur we pitched our tent at the end of the long city beach 🏖️ We stood there for totally 3 nights, went for a shower to the open beach-showers 🚿 and relaxed all day long in and around our tent ⛺️
What a view, and what an amazing campspot 😍 So lucky we found this place around 25km after the city Silifke, beside an abandoned quarry... There we slept sooo good 😴
We had no reason to hurry, so we enjoyed the whole Morning only with the sound of nature 🥰
