3 June, Aydin to Nazilli, 43km
Hotel Ege 80TL (breakfast included)

For the last two days we have been travelling east up a valley that runs west to the Aegean, headed inland toward Pamukkale. Our morning out of Selçuk did not begin well – we had a puncture and a broken odometer to contend with before reaching the outskirts of town – but it improved considerably when we managed to cycle every centimetre of a 5km climb that then dropped us into the valley we have been cycling since. Aydin is a modern and attractive town of 200,000 with an over-the-top municipal building and orange trees planted at intervals on the pavements. Today’s road brought us through more fruit country, including fig groves, one roadside stall after another displaying and selling watermelons, peaches, apricots, strawberries and cherries. As the road lies on the tourist trail, there were also numerous garden restaurants offering tea and sodas at nearly four times the going rate! In one small town we were persuaded to drop off the main road onto the service road where we were given doughnuts being cooked just there, hot, sweet and delicious.
