Kefken rocks! Well, yes it does but I think it's called Kefken Rocks or Rocks of Kefken. Awesome God creation - ahhh the beauty of Turkey!

only nature can paint such a perfect pristine picture |
Our first day of 2011 was spent exploring the city of Izmit, specifically Kerpe and
Kefken on the Black Sea cost. It was a day spent with the entire Demirkol family. The weather, although a bit cold, is conducive for a good walk, morning tea and lots of family bonding. Uncle Necmi has a summer house in the area - it is 2 hours, more or less, (roughly 150-km) away from Istanbul on the black sea coast. It is quality time away from the city noise of Istanbul. The place is fairly secluded, quiet, relatively unspoiled and best part - perfect, green landscapes along the way.
We had fun exploring the Kefken red cliff/ rocks in the morning. I could only imagine the sunset view. It must be spectacular. It was great fun exploring the rocks with the family.

Beautiful, Thanks for sharing. My husband was in Turkey a couple of months back for his MBA residency. He really enjoyed himself, well as much as he could given it was for school.
