New season 2011
Just started a Facebook page today. Yesil Ev. Only got one photo on it so far. New ones coming from the first visit of the year, when Elaine gets back at the end of the week. All houses whitewashed in and out. Weather and garden glorious.
PRICES same as last year 350 pounds sterling or 400 Euros a week payable 6 weeks in advance. For more than 2 weeks or more than 2 cottages 50 pounds/55 Euros per week discount applies.

One Monday routine here is to take the 8 30 bus up to the Centre - half way to the top of this rambling village in a valley - for the Monday market. If you are unlucky and miss the bus - as we did today - you walk, and a hot walk it is even at 9 am.
The main detail of this travelling market for us, among the stalls selling scythes and sickles, rat traps and donkey harness, shoes and clothing, biscuits, olives and cheeses - is Duran's vegetable stall. We buy enough for a week and it is delivered to our house later.
Now we set off on an ancient stony path down a tight green valley to the sea under a bronze age hill fort. Near the bottom there is running water - the reason this valley has been cultivated since the Carians ruled here 3000 years or more ago.
We emerge at some flat fields by a little bay. No one lives here now although fields are still tended by local people. There are pink sea smoothed pieces of ancient brick, tiles and pottery along the beach and in the water as well as massivley hewn limestone blocks and the occasional marble pillar.
We base ourselves under an old fig tree right on the water's edge we've aways called this pace Fig Tree Bay. From its shade we can see - apart from the bats and some telecoms towers - nothing in the long arcing curve of the Loryma Peninsula and a scatter of islands that completely enclose this bay - that would place us in the 21st, or any century.

Miracle of every new dawn in Sogut
Turkey is a hot country, and in July and August the heat can be intense. We are fortunate to be staying about half a mile from the sea, which makes even 40C+ days bearable.
Because it hardly ever rains here in the summer months, and we may see no more than 6 or 8 wispy clouds in the whole of that time, the dry heat is entirely predictable.
There are several “best” times of day.
But nothing beats the first few hours of the day. There is a creamy-golden light before 6 am which gradually expands in the build-up to the great event of the day, sunrise over the mountains at the head of the valley. There is a glorious certainty about this - no early clouds or mists to disperse, just the great orb rising just as it has for the 2500 or more years since this valley was first inhabited. We then have about two hours to enjoy the sun as a benign health-giving force, bringing out the colours in the garden.

2010 season begins
Just off to Sogut on Monday for three glorious weeks. This year we're almost fully booked for the school holiday season except for one cottage which is free up to 18th August, and someone is enquiring about flights for that right now.

Steph and Tim in Sogut
Steph and I have just returned from another glorious holiday in Sogut, although this time around we took in the sights of Istanbul too. Sogut was beautiful as ever, and following photos are testament to a blissful holiday.
