Getaway Beach
The beach
between the pretty Olimpos
Lodge resort villa complex
and the Mediterranean is
of fine-to-coarse limestone and
marble pebbles,
so the hotel built a boardwalk to
reach it.
Maybe fine sand is what some
visitors prefer, but I
like the pebbles: they're
pleasantly smooth, pretty
and tactile, and they
don't stick to your skin the
way sand does!
The sea water is
fine, clean and warm, with no
big towns nearby.
Olimpos,
80 km (50 miles) southwest of Antalya, is
a truly pretty spot, and a favorite
of backpackers,
who stay not at the fine Olimpos
Lodge but at the renowned Kadir's
Tree House on the
other side of the valley.
(Here's
another Olimpos photo.)
