Castle Feke and Kizkilesi (Castle by the Sea)


This is Feke Castle, which we discovered is very cool and the Turks don't even know where it is. When we asked if they heard of it, all of the responses were, "Where?" It was especially nice because there wasn't litter and spray paint all over the place. 
This is Rick standing on one of many levels. Most was filled with dirt. Compared to most of the castles around here, this one is very well preserved and who knows what artifacts lay hidden beneath all that dirt. Oh, and remember preservation in Turkey is not a priority at all! At least that is what it looks like.
These are just some more rooms.
Kizkilesi, or Castle by the Sea.  Welcome to the whitest people in the Mediterranean Sea. Also the ones with the most defined farmer tans. But, we did have the cutest baby there.
I'm not sure why they call this castle by the sea when it is clearly in the sea. Unless they were talking about all of the fallen walls around the beaches. It was very pretty.
PJ loved the water and the waves. She thought it was loads of fun as each wave hit, pulling her back a bit. She did not like the taste of salt water. Hmm, imagine that.
