I'd planned to go diving in Kaş to possibly, if I was lucky enough, swim with turtles. The mums and dads this time though, not the little dudes (

However, on our first evening in Kaş we walked down to a little public beach a couple of minutes walk from our accommodation and within ten minutes of being in the water a turtle popped its head out about ten metres from us and then another in about the same area. I quickly chucked my mask on and started a routine that continued for the following few days with Nix spotting from shore and me flapping about trying to find one of the ocean's most majestic creatures.
In total I swam with about seven and we spotted quite a few more. The best experience I had in the water was swimming with a big mumma while she mimicked my movements as I swam around and moved in for a closer look a couple of times before pulling off at the last second with her little fish pal in tow. Privileged is the word that I'm looking for.
No photo evidence, only a few snaps of the beautiful deep blue waters that we swam in for those handful of days.
After Kaş we moved on to dusty little Kabak. Do I need to say anything else other than we woke up to this view from our balcony each morning?

all round pain in my arse best mother in law ever.
