Why haven’t we been going here every Sunday?!
Cinar (pronounced Shinar) was incredible. It’s a huge outdoor restaurant nestled in the trees, with streams and ponds running amidst the tables. Among the guests are ducks waddling along with their chicks, kittens hunting on the rooftops, the inviting smell of wood smoke, and fresh springs where you can fill your water bottle. We even saw a goose attempting to hide a very large egg in a nest of twigs and feathers while it went to take a dip in the pond.
After trying to decide where to sit, we settled on a table in the ‘treehouse’ and had a feast! What a combination of flavors….warm bread, fresh eggs, garden ripe tomatoes and cucumbers, salty olives, sweet honeycomb and homemade strawberry jam. You just wanted to sit there and eat all day.
We finally managed to pull ourselves away from the table and started on our way back to town. But wait, we needed something else delicious to eat and couldn’t resist a stop at one of the many road side stands selling fresh strawberries and honey!
On our way back to the marina we took advantage of Aysel’s turkish, and with her and John’s knowledge bought a wireless modem and SIM card. No more of this crappy wi-fi at the marina. Now if we have a cell phone signal we can get on line! Eventually and definitely in no hurry, we made our way back to the boat where we lounged and napped. And then enjoyed another feast of chicken kabobs on board with John and Aysel. I promise, tomorrow will be more work and less food.
