Agva

Wow!  Firstly I want to say thank you for all the entries in the GIVEAWAY(!) and all your lovely comments!  And if you haven't entered yet it's not too late!  To check it out click here or just scroll down a couple of posts. 

Now I wanted to share with you a few photos from a little trip to Agva (pronounced Aa-va) that we went on while my Mum was here.  It was beautiful!  The drive there was through lovely green thick forest.  We stopped here for a roadside snack - gozleme - which is delicious!

 Agva is relatively free of the mass development that you find in many other holiday destinations here.  Instead Agva was all small hotels along the river front and, according to the owner of the hotel we stayed at, it is strictly controlled by the Jandarma to make sure the hotels are not polluting the area.   It's the type of place where you could go and just hang out in a hammock and read books and drink wine all weekend...um...if you didn't have a 2 year old with you. :)    We did manage to fit plenty of relaxing and some wine in though!

We went for a little ride in a boat along the river while we were there.  It was fun to spot gorgeous places like this and the one in the photograph at the start of this post.

And we made it down to the beach, which although wasn't as clean as some other areas of Agva, did have some beautiful wild flowers growing at its edges. 

Have a great weekend!
