If it comes by Gocek make sure you leave plenty time if you are catching a flight from Dalaman. A couple of years ago I was going to the UK and the tunnel was closed for a good hour because the race came through it. It stayed closed for another 30 minutes to allow the last cyclist to come through because he had a puncture. Just made the flight by the skin of my teeth.

Does this mean Fethiye will have all its roads closed on Thursday [?]

Ah, it's coming in from Denizli this time. That at least means they won't have to remove the dolphin roundabout for it this time. Not that there is one.

:D
