At Yediburunlar nature and history stand eye to
eye, as do the cliffs and golden sands bathed in
sunlight.
Because the route of the Fethiye-Kas highway is
inland, most people are not aware of the treasures
hidden along the stretch of coastline from Ölüdeniz
(the Dead Sea) to Patara. Here, if you only know
how to look, you will find green forests dipping
their branches in the blue of the Mediterranean,
virgin inlets each more beautiful than the last,
capes extending into the sea with the intricacy
of lace, and a trove of ancient ruins.

As we came to the village of Alýnca, having
emerged from an inlet named for squash, the sight
of the pineclad hills between Karacaburun (Cape
Karaca) and Yediburunbasi (the start of the Seven
Capes),
