The town water source. Although the village would have plumbed water, this water source is still very much in use. Its source would be a spring or run off from the snow. Just before we took this picture, there was a family filling water bottles.



Notice the grapevine growing up the side of the building to the top. These are every where, up 4, 5, 6 stories. They will train them to cover the patios or roof tops for shaded summer areas. They might shade one patio, or every patio on the way up. Amazing! We will attempt to get a better photo, but sometimes when we see interesting things, we simply are not in a good place to stop.


An old gate into an olive orchard. Doesn't look like it is the one used any more, but interesting.



This was the shipbuilder we stumbled on on the road through the old town. They had two sizes of boats in progress. You can see him if you look closely in the foliage.



The road down to the marina is lined with tea houses, mostly frequented by men who appear to have nothing else to do all day but drink tea, olive stores, ice cream shops, tourist shops, restaurants, etc. On the subject of the tea houses, they are in every village, and are always full, and it doesn't seem to matter the time of day. Don't know if they are unemployed, self employed, lazy, or just very thirsty. That being said, most Turks are hard working people that seem to work from sun up to sunset. Maybe they are the husbands to all the women we see working in the fields!!!
