Traveller reviews
We booked a private day trip on Egemen boat and had such a great time. Egemen and his mom were so welcoming. They took us around to quiet swimming spots away from the crowds just like we asked. Egemen’s mom cooked us delicious breakfast and lunch that we all enjoyed. The boat was so clean and beautiful. We enjoyed our day out in the see and highly recommend it to everyone.
Our day could not have been more perfect. The captain and skipper were fun and kind (and very skilled), the boat was very large and comfortable, the food was excellent, and the scenery and swimming was divine.
Great day out. Top swimming spots. Interesting sites to visit. Good lunch. Saw turtles! Would do this activity again.
Really nice day out, boat wasn't too busy so nice atmosphere. Special shout out for them coping really well with a dietary need, making sure there was suitable food prepared.
The trip was amazing. The sea is wonderful, we had lots of time enjoy swimming. We saw Caretta turtles. The ruins and sunken town are fascinating to see, it was definitely worth a visit. The organization was very good, as well as the food and everything else.
This trip was from kas. It was great, they made 8 stops and explained the history of the ruins. Visited very cool places. Great experience
A perfect excursion, perfect swimming stops, the boat was very comfortable, the lounge chairs on the top deck were very comfortable. The water was crystal clear, the views of the castle were spectacular, we saw many turtles. The food was fine. Without a doubt, I would do it again.
It was perfect! The kindness of the captains, a ride on a well-equipped boat and with the right number of people (15-20) compared to big boats full to bursting. The meal was excellent I can only recommend fresh fish. The beauty of the island and the highlight on the show turtles!
