Mission to Meis

Two days ago, the opportunity arose to get to Meis, Greece for the day. It was a trip that would be necessary at least once during my stay here in Turkey, so when Janek had to go to avoid paying an even bigger over-staying fee, I made the most of the chance.

Meis is a little island about half an hour by boat from Kas, on the south coast of Turkey. Surrounded by the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, it is a beautiful and tranquil place to spend a few hours, while officials on the mainland renew visas.

It is quite strange to have the Greek culture just a stones throw away. There is quite a noticeable change on arrival: The architecture, the language and the alphabet to go with it, plus a negative attitude towards 'Grossing the harbor', whatever that means.

New Beginning

It has been a long time since anything has made its way to these 'pages', and maybe it will be a long time before it happens again.

I have now been in turkey for one month. Back to old friends, and old projects. Lots of climbing and a little work. I finally got my camera out for a quick trip to discover an ancient city that most seem to have forgotten about. Left in ruins for some undisclosed or unknown reason, one is left to explore and interpret as one chooses.

It's still home to some...
