Kizkalesi Thursday
The weather has been very hot recently. Thursday morning Hamdullah, Zeyni, Izzet and I caught the bus (5 YTL each way) 70 km west along the coast to Kizkalesi.
With a metre-long pide (bread) at the restaurant
The island castle of Kizkalesi (Maiden's Castle) provides the backdrop for beachgoers, swimmers, a simit (bread-ring) seller and a dog.
A family on a pedal boat enjoying the late afternoon sun. Korykos, the castle on the land in the background, used to connect with Kizkalesi in ancient times via a causeway.

I couldn't tell you what that guy's status was. I'm pretty sure everybody in that photo is in their late 20s.
There aren't too many single guys 35+ here because the cultural/familial expectation to get married. I would say you have a better chance in Istanbul!

I first came to Turkey on an AIESEC (http://aiesec.org) traineeship and have been based here most of the time since.
Yes, to be able to travel is a fantastic thing.
