Anthony –
Beautiful vacation and lovely yacht, really kind staff! I am sure, we will come again! All our guided tours were very nice but I loved the boat cruise. I especially loved being able to sleep on the deck under the stars. The weather was very good during the trip. We will recommend you.
Esther –
After the amazing Cappadocia tour including an air balloon ride, the blue cruise was the best for us. 4 days and three-night blue cruise and it was awesome. If our program had not continued to Pamukkale and Ephesus, we would have joined the boat tour from Fethiye to Olympos for 4 more days. For sure, we could have stayed on longer in the gulet. The team was lovely and professional. The accommodations were clean during the touring frame in the areas and the guides were very professional. Highly recommended.
