Turkish Coast - Egean & Mediterranean Seas

Since Sunday our home has been "Amazon Solo", a mega boat with a crew of 4 just for the 6 of us. The boat is supposed to be for double the amount of people, so we have pleeeeenty of space. I even have a cabin with private bathroom just for myself.
The crew includes a chef, who prepares our daily three meals. We are getting used to rolling out of bed and getting a generous breakfast on deck.
Besides eating, daily activities include: swimming in crystal clear sea, reading, seating around, reading, playing backgammon (Juan won our little tournament and even managed to beat the captain, who plays like a pro), water-skying, reading, snorkeling, listening to music, reading some more, kayaking, and once, we went to the shore for a mud bath that smelled like rotten eggs (but it made for a funny picture).
Unfortunately, heavenly life doesn't last forever, tomorrow we'll grudgingly get off the boat, and I'll be heading back to Istanbul.
