Well I have to say we had one of the most welcoming surprises from totally strangers we had for many years , after days of anchoring in bay without a shop for miles we run out of bases supply's ,
Pilot book wasn't any help but Google Earth shown a bay with what looks like a small group of houses maybe a village , some bays up
We entered the bay to find a very large gin motor yacht moored in the middle , a row of houses in the back ground that looks very posh and what looks like a farm with a large house near the beach , plastic floating pontoon near the shore with a few power boats , once ashore it came to light that we was on some kind of private ground , horses training manage , swimming pools helicopter siting on it pad , a group or women on one part of the beach with their children's and another group of men under a bilgola , well in for a penny in for a pound we trespassing now any way , has we walked closer there all should up to greet us , we apologise if we was on private property , we ask them if there was a shop locally where we could by supply or at less bread and milk , we was ask to sit and have tea with them , some thing was said to a young guy in Turkish and some mins later the young guy serves us with tea , it turned out there are all from the same family four generations , All the house behind belong to the family's , they all live in Istanbul , and come out here for family holidays , a few weeks each month . We was told we was welcome to stay in the bay and join them for a evening meal , we had to decline has we wanted to go a bit further while the winds was in our favour , no soon we finished our drinks , the guy who serves us with our tea , turned up with a big bag , given us not only bread and milk but an host of over food included fruit , veg and chocolate , enough to keep us going for the next four days at less .
What lovely kind people we met on our travels .
Just wanted to share this with you all .
