The drive to Didim took about four hours, if I remember correctly.  We arrived in time for a BBQ that they had prepared for a late lunch,very late.

Our first view of the sea.

Sermin welcoming us to the terrace and Sami making sure the coals are ready.

The view from the terrace.  The view from the third floor is awesome, but

not for me.  Going up this staircase is just too much.  Although I had been given a bedroom on the second floor with a lovely sea view, I opted to sleep on the sofa in the living room.

Those are red peppers strung up there behind me, and Sermin actually uses them to cook.  I was going to buy some, but they would have been decorative only, in my case.
