.....great video. My husband is Turkish but I’m Canadian so we live here. When we visit Izmir I hit all the markets that are on in the city and sometimes we go out further to check out the other markets. The fruit and veggies are so fresh and tasty.
Thank you for your fantastic video. Very interesting and informative. We are hoping to visit dalyan one day. I would love to visit the market. I'm just worried about the language barrier though people there seem lovely. If we ever go I hope we see you there!
Hi Ellis. Great video as usual. Going to the bazaar is an adventure in itself😁just curious why Ken is camera shy? To me he is a man of great knowledge, especially in furniture making🌷Wishing you both a great day🌻🌻🌻🌻
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Your advice is sound. Turkey is not alone when it comes to big sheep dogs, in France ,in certain alpine areas and in the Pyrenees in particular they have huge dogs called patou and in recent years there have been a number of attacks on hikers, one or two rather serious. I'm always cautious in areas where these dogs exist. With you I most certainly would never walk through a flock , the Patou are white and not always easy to spot if they are in the centre of a group. Anyway I always give them a wide berth whatever. I also have a dog dazzer and have found it has worked well for me, with domestic dogs no way would I attempt to use it on a sheep guard dog as they would certainly see it as a form of aggression. Strangely I had to use it on a 21 day trek in southern Spain last summer and to my horror found it did not do its job, I thought they maybe old battery but no new one also had no effect. Well back home and sadly I tried it out on our cat and it leapt up rather quite so why it didn't work in Spain I've no idea!!
I just thought of something. I never hiked with poles before so I don't know how it is elsewhere but here dogs get very triggered by the tikking of the poles on tarmac or paved roads. As soon as I enter a village or pass a farm I do not use them. Saves a lot of hassle.
Hi. I've recently been watching you journey on the lycian way and it's really been great, I've rarely enjoyed anything on UA-cam quite as much. I've a question for you. My wife and I are planning to walk as far as Kas this September following the lycian way. My question is this, just how dangerous are the Kangol dogs? I ask this as a couple of years ago I was bitten by a dog in Italy and subsequently had to have a course of rabies jabs. As you might imagine this has made me somewhat nervous of dogs on the trail generally, though it's not put me off, just made me more nervous. I'd appreciate any advice you might be able to give me. Iain.
Thanks! I hope to go back in March. If you go no further than Kas you should not realy come across dogs. The stretch a few sections after Kas is known for it. Kangals are the most lovely dogs around. But they protect the flok of sheep, goats that they grew up in. If you see a bunch of goats with dogs (any dogs) walk around them. Never through the animals. That's when they become a problem. If you consider that we had dogs with us and they never became realy agressive. They only barked like crazy. My problem is that I ones was hassled by three of them while walking a pup here in the country side. I have become scared of big dogs after that. They know that, so they step more forward. Usely if you hold up your hand palm forward, fingers pointing up, it's enough to stop them from coming closer. But I have to admit I carry a taser, just in case. That's how scared I am. Sadly. And all dogs here get Rabies shots, veterinarians go to the villages every year.
Hello! I keep coming back to your videos!! How do you find Köyceğiz with regard to the peoples attitude toward foreigners? Do people have patience to listen to broken Turkish? What about a foreigner living in Köyceğiz?
Hi Maria. I don't live in Köyceğiz itself, but I do like it a lot for my shopping and I have no negative experience with it. You have to ask those questions on Facebook pages. That way you get the opinion of many.
