Part Three: Alaçatı, Turkey

Alaçatı was very close to Çeşme and reminded me a little of Greece from the village-y, stone feel of the whole place (not that I've been to Greece).

This place had lots and lots of charm. So instead of telling you about it, I'll shut up and just show you now:

Colorful doors might be my favorite :)

Cute spaces filled with bright colors and rustic touches.

More shots of the village...

Bazaars!! I love all the extremely fresh produce I found in this place :)

Turkey is famous for nuts and dried fruits.

Hey what's up Mr. Cock-a-doodle-doo?

Don't know why I was so drawn to this table, but I feel as though I could spend hours there drinking many cups of delicious Turkish tea (right up there with English tea).

Basically, Alaçatı was just plain adorable. I saw old village women in worn dresses with scarves tied around their heads, carrying their groceries as they navigated their way around the cobblestone streets, and I felt as though I was walking in a past time. I liked the simplicity of this place, as if technology hasn't reached the bright doorsteps; however, I hope it stays that way--simple and pure.
