We were in Uzumlu last week and saw a very long very black and shiny snake, much to my joy. I eeked and it went away, but we had to go on and look at a part built property and the whole time instead of taking scenic photos of the view, I spent my time, snake watching.
Rumour has it, spiders really hate the smell of lavender and scorpions won't go near it. Planted some under my front and rear terrace in the hope that this is true.
