I've been traveling since I quit my job two months ago, and I'm currently in Turkey. I'm a solo traveler and really enjoy traveling alone, without companions, without conflicts, without needing to discuss what time to get up, where to go next, or what to eat later. It's completely at my own pace, free and happy. During these days in Fethiye and Kaş, I've completely fallen in love with these places. Every day I bask in the Mediterranean sun, watch the sunset on the beach, feel the sea breeze, take walks, and swing on swings. Wherever I go, there are adorable animals keeping me company, watching the sunset with me, waiting for the bus, having breakfast, but actually, they seem to enjoy their lives even more than I do. My first day in Kaş wasn't very smooth, as I spent a lot of time looking for the bus station to the island, wasting a lot of time. The next day it rained, and I couldn't go out. But this place is so beautiful, every moment I see the scenery, I feel like I'm being healed. Moreover, here, every moment I feel so happy, and my ability to perceive happiness is getting stronger. Little things can make me happy for a long time. When I walk on the beach, feel the wind, and swing, I feel so happy. When I walk alone on the island, looking at the azure Mediterranean, I feel so happy. When the rain stops and the sun shines on the balcony of the guesthouse, I feel so happy. When I stand on the top of the hill looking at the beautiful scenery of the whole town, I feel so happy. When I hold the warm clothes that have just been washed in my arms, I also feel so happy... There are so many happy moments, sometimes I even worry a bit because I know there will be ups and downs. I'm so happy now, will this happiness slip away in a few days? I also dare not post on social media anymore. I've heard others say that if I'm always traveling, my happiness would be too dazzling and not friendly to those who are working. Well, actually, I don't want to share all the time either. I want to selfishly keep it for myself, let these moments be hidden in my heart, and let me immerse myself in them alone. I left the town last night, and I really didn't want to leave, I was even a little sad. When I left the guesthouse with my backpack, my nose even felt a bit sour. See you next time, beautiful Mediterranean town, thank you for giving me so many happy moments, see you next time.

🚗Transportation Self-driving, the scenery on the road from Antalya to Kash is really worth it! D400 is indeed the most beautiful coastline. Highly recommend driving during the day and evening, the sea on a sunny day is gem blue, and you can see the orange sea in the evening Fuel cost💰: 4 days cost 350 yuan+ Car rental tips📌: (1) You can rent it locally, friends rented it for 200 yuan+/day, support domestic driver's license (2) If you can drive manual gear, there are also 100 yuan+/day! 📍Attractions: 1⃣️kaputas beach: Very beautiful! The stones here are relatively small, it doesn't hurt so much to step on, but it's much more comfortable than going to the beach. If you go in the afternoon, you don't need to rent a beach chair and umbrella, the rocky area not only has shade but also free, just bring your own mat, sitting directly on the stone is very painful. 2⃣️seyrek cakli playji : Convenient parking nearby, the scenery is also good, but the stones are larger, the pain of barefoot into the sea is slightly stronger 3⃣️kas merkez: It's the town of Kash, it's recommended to go both at night and during the day! There are different experiences 🍲Food 1⃣️kas gulsen: You have to order chicken soup rice, the name is soup of the day, satisfying Chinese taste! 40 lira/person 2⃣️ege restaurant taner usta: Chicken rolls are good, eggplant rice is also okay, average 130+ lira/person 🏡Accommodation Hotel begonvil: The boss is nice, the peak season is 720+ RMB/night, I feel that the cost performance is not too high, because the room is quite cramped ⚠️Note 1⃣️Encountered the peak season, parking in the whole town is a bit troublesome, it is best to reserve a parking space with the boss in advance 2⃣️Be sure to pay attention to the surrounding environment when parking by the sea, beware of falling rocks! 3⃣️The water for showering by the sea is super cold!! If necessary, you can bring your own large bucket of water to put in the car

From Antalya to Izmir, the hundreds of kilometers long highway has the best looking coastline of Turkey🌊 The D400 highway is definitely worth driving on your own, the scenery along the way is really beautiful, and there is no need for admission tickets, you can go down to see the sea anywhere, and there is an incredibly beautiful beach, just like a wallpaper. Even after the prices have doubled, the cost-performance ratio of sea view rooms is still very high, with an average of around 200 per person, you can stay in a very nice sea view room. Recommended self-driving route is Izmir-Antalya, which can be driven in 2 days, with a stopover in Kaş for one night.

Mediterranean towns are really beautiful. The bougainvillea is in full bloom. It's very suitable for city walks. There are many shops decorated very uniquely. Of course, there are also cats that can be seen everywhere. 🚘 City transportation: There are buses from Fethiye and Antalya, but I still recommend driving yourself. Especially since the D400 is really very beautiful.
