Unfortunately the Kas Dolphinarium has been reopened and dolphins are being held there.
Please support the protests, petitions and boycotts to help free these beautiful animals.
The people of Kas and those who come to Kas are against keeping them in captivity and have no connection to this unpleasant activity.
There are currently no quayside moorings in the new Kas Marina as the whole area has been roped off. It is still possible to anchor.
The Bristolian visited Kas harbour yesterday. The boat was built in, and has come from New Zealand to cruise the Mediterranean this summer.
She is simply stunning and the ultimate in style and luxury. Despite being over 36m in length overall she has only one owner’s berth and three for guests with six crew in three berths.
As progress towards completion of the construction continues it is hoped that facilities will begin to become available towards the end of 2010.
The official opening is due H1 2011. At this time prices and availability of marina berths are not available but information will be published in due course.
Today is Turkish Youth and Sports day in Turkey. All over Turkey school children have been spiritedly practising their drumming, marching and trumpets. The day is dedicated to the youth.
It is also a day of commemoration of Kemal Atatürk
The school children of Kas performed traditional folk dances and marches in the harbour.
All the cars are covered with dust and this evening there is the most amazing sunset. The clouds are so unusual that it is possible that it is the ash blowing over from the Volcano in Iceland.
It is now possible to add Volcano disruption to a travel policy in case summer plans are affected.
