It's a great road now compared to how it used to be. Plenty of room for 2 vehicles to pass. Well worth a drive up there for the views. There are some fantastic views over Oludeniz and you can also look right down into Butterfly Valley and across the valley towards Faralya, Kabak and Alinca. On a clear day, you can see Rhodes.

It's also worth a detour to Kirme as the road keeps going up and you eventually reach the low-launch area behind Babadag that the paragliders use for bad weather and winter.

Well looks like we will be hiring a car, Gordon believes everything KKOB writes ;-)

I believe in The Holy Bible as well, Darling, but you won't see me volunteering for 6 inch nails through my hands any day soon !!

That's the trouble with you Gordy, you've got no sense of adventure.  ;)

A perfectly acceptable road if you don't mind hairpin bends !!!!
We've walked Oludeniz to Faralya many times - a steady uphill stroll   :)
The walk from Kabak back to Faralya is also magnificent  ;D

We usually go for 3 months at a time, this time 2 weeks, I suppose if I started Gordon walking when we get there I could always help him the rest of the way in September or October ;-)

Everything was going swimmingly, nearly talked him into the car hire and then you mentioned hairpin bends!!! we are talking here about a man that thinks driving fast is 35mph.  Gordon the Sunday driver every day of the week.

I drove there in a hire car on Day 2 of first driving in Turkey in January this year. My husband bullied me into it.

I had just about gotten used to using my right hand to change gear and there I was teetering on some cliff edge with a local driver bombing round the bend at me.

You have to drive to Kabak just to find somewhere to turn round and drive back .......

However, the views really are magnificent and well worth risking death for.

I actually feel safer going up or down on foot than I do being driven!

I prefer going by scooter than car, that way you can stay away from the long drop to the ocean   :)
