    Myra faces   April 27, 2026   Çirali to Kaş, our last driving day for over a week. The  Gayb-i Bungalows are in the valley up from the beach and a heavy tourist area.  Therefore, I s lept late without the  call the prayer.  Also, being in a valley,  the sun didn’t call me to start my day.  First stop were the  Myra ruins in Demre,  Medusa theater, nice tombs.

Thin on the eggplant  off the waterfront, things look very different (old and crumbling)   Megisti Puzzle Museum I'd read a terrific blog ...
