Euromos

Next we drove down to Gogova with a short stop at Euromos along the way. Euromos was of great interest to the boys because of its temple to Zeus, one of the Greek Gods that the boys have been reading about.

Carolyn writing again – The three boys are still sleeping at the moment. Mosquitoes woke me up so I thought I would write a bit. We have been off the grid for the last few days.

Thursday, September 28 - We stayed in a small coastal town of Gogova (also called Akyaka). Many Turkish towns seem to have two names, which is confusing for the non-Turkish speaking traveler like me. We ended up taking a completely different road and staying in a different town than I had thought we would. There seems to be some new roads/tollways that are not on the map I purchased in Istanbul. Luckily the road signs to each town are frequent along the roads.

We called our hotel the “Octopus Inn.” While we ate dinner on the edge of the breakwall, we watched the owner catch two octopus (one very big!) with his spear gun. The boys ran over to watch close up as the owner pull them in. I couldn’t convince either Liam or Colin to order the calamari salad!

Here are some more photos from the day.
