Kalkan

So this isn't necessarily an Airbnb, but I think it was like a Stays or one of those similar sites.

So when we first got to Turkey, we were in Istanbul and then we went down to Kalkan.

That's where we spent our first year.

But when we first got down there, we just booked a villa for like three months because it was winter.

Wow.

I know we're in Turkey where we are, like it changes in different cities, in different municipalities.

So in Kalkan and Antalya, they had big dumpster bins and you just take it down, put it in the dumpster bin and each day the dumpster bin would get emptied.

In where we are in Istanbul, we have to literally walk it out, dump it on the street and walk back inside.

A travel feature highlights five European and Turkish destinations, where visitors can hold on to summer a little longer.

In Kalkan Turkey, October brings warm water at Kaputas Beach, while the harbourfront restaurants and boat trips are still busy.

Inland, the village of Bazargan grows quiet.

On Spain's Almeria coast, Agua Amarga keeps its bars and restaurants open in autumn, with warm sea and sun, before the town settles into winter hibernation.
