After debating catching a dolmuş to Troy, decided to go to Boscaada. This involved flagging down a dolmuş which dropped us right at the ferry. The cool wind from the sea refreshed us from the 32 degree heat. We were greeted by fresh grapes, fish, fish and more fish..... heaven for me. Too hot to explore the Castle so decided to just go for a meander....Restaurants around every corner. Cool trellises of grapes. How could we resist a glass of wine and seafood lunch.
Cats and fishermen everywhere. Truly relaxing... not sure about the Titanic boat trip though!
Against our better judgement decided to get a dolmuş to the beach - everyone had told us how fantastic it was. Of course we should have known better. Sunbed next to sunbed, stony beach, burnt bodies and people of all ages struggling to swim. A quick dip and back on the dolmuş and ferry to our lovely hotel, dinner at local restaurant and like the rest of Canakkale a stroll along the front.
