Faralya to Boğaziçi | 25.5km
From Faralya along a lush trail winding through forests and stepped meadows and into Kabak.
 |
| Lush trails and beautiful views |
Here I took the foolhardy option that everyone else seemed to be avoiding and made the steep climb down to Kabak beach and it's nouveau hippy communes.
 |
| Kabak beach |
 |
| Bloody hippies |
I made a brew on the beach, had a bite to eat and then climbed back up the valley following the path of a stream and a small detour to the pretty-but-not-worth-the-effort Kabak waterfall to cool my feet.
 |
| Sweet spot for a brew |
 |
| Kabak waterfall... ahhhh |
Then it was a short climb into the village of Alinca before heading onto a wonderful piece of trail, scaling down scree slopes, climbing boulders, edging cliffs with the most incredible views down to the sea.
 |
| Scree climb up the valley |
 |
| A tempting descent to another beach.. not this time though |
 |
| Beautiful views :) |
Ending in a pine forest trail where I made the in-hindsight-incorrect decision to head inland to Bogazici and toward the ruins of Sidyma instead of taking the coast trail to Gey. Wrong in that it was all dull trails, roads and clomping along with little to see.
 |
| Meadow before Bogazici... The highlight |
With night closing in I found a secluded camp spot half way up the hill from Bogazici, dined on a fine cheesy pöte noodlé with a 2015 chateau cup-a-soup and settled in for the night.
