Turkey Gulet Holiday Reviews
- Fethiye and Kekova Gulet
A great experience, cruising around the beautiful turquoise coast. Swimming in beautiful spots with occasional trip to shore. Crew friendly, boat comfortable and food good. Be prepared to rough it a bit although we'll proportioned the cabins are very hot and also noisy if motor or generator is going Most people sleep some or all of the night on deck.
- 4 Days - Blue Escape from Fethiye to Gocek
The boat tour was an amazing experience. The Captain, his wife, son and daughter in law were one of the most polite, helpful, open to communicate people. We missed our flight and as a result missed the boat at the port, and the Captain was so helpful in arranging our pick up by a taxi , communicated with us through out the time while we were in a taxi to get to the port. The cabin was very clean, spacious with private bathroom. The food, of the food was so amazing, fresh, full of flavour and authentic Turkish taste. They would inform us about the area we would be travelling, what will come next and where would be stay and dock for the night. The whole family was amazing, so respectful and happy. I would definitely recommend staying with them and enjoying the experience.
- Turquoise Blue - Fethiye / Kekova / Feth
Great boat saw so many pretty places the food was excellent and plentiful. However, I could feel the captains reluctance to follow the rout given and his comments were sometimes unkind about us asking to use the tender to go ashore, he said it’s not a taxi and I asked for help to put the side safes up as I couldn’t do it alone he said “ I do it” his attitude wasn’t the best sadly
