Back to Hisaronu

Breakfast out of the way; it was back to the apartment and a day relaxing by the pool. We did not wander in to town until the evening. The apartment is situated at the Kaya end of Hisaronu, just on the edge of Kaya forest, and although the nearest bars and restaurants are only about 300 meters away, it’s a quiet spot, only 5 minutes walk yet out far enough not to be disturbed by the livelier parts of town.

A gin and tonic combines well with watching the sunset over the mountains, then a short stroll to dinner.

We had noticed during our last visit that a new bar was being built about 100 metres away, and we were pleased to find that it is quiet spot to sit without music or TV. It was a quiet dinner and back to the apartment with a bottle of wine.

A number of new restaurants had opened for the new season and a few bars had been re-furbished. Overall the town is looking a little brighter and particularly on the East side a bit smarter.

It was noticeable that the town was a little quieter than spring last year, it seems that the brief scare reports of “bird flu” in Turkey last year, and the World Cup starting in Germany has impacted upon bookings.
