- Jeni· July 7th, 2025The tour, the tour guide Çetin Doğan and driver was professional, expertly delivered and went beyond what we could have hoped for. The hotels varied greatly and I would do more research on those next time to get a consistent experience. However I know that if it had mattered enough, we could have asked Çetin and it would have been sorted it immediately. I would recommend to a friend.Show more

After the chaos of the airport we met with our guide, cetin Dogan and our driver the following morning and everything was seamless, efficient, friendly and professional from thereon. If you can request Cetin to be your guide I would highly recommend you do so. Hotel quality varies, if that’s important then check them out and change ahead. Staff are very helpful.Show moreGuide of Ephesus commented on this reviewDear Ted, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to travel with us!

The tour guide gave us very knowledgeable tours of the sights, explained the country and its people and served us local specialties. The highlights, balloon ride over Cappdocia, boat trip with swimming, Pamukkale, Ephesus and Troy impressed us.

Asked on June 10th, 2025I would like to do the tour but I am traveling alone. The enquirey form says I must book twin? I'm male, a fit 71 person. I am also looking at extending my trip through Greece, Croatia and Spain. Please advise.
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written June 2025
Unfortunately the blue cruise gulets are not providing single rooms thats why there is no single room policy for this tour we made an ease for single travelers and instead of paying 5600 us dollars for a double room you will pay 4200 us dollars this is the best we can do for you. If this is okay for you please select 1 person and single room at the bottom. Then you can book the tour.

Asked on February 17th, 2025What exactly do u do on Day 6.7 and 8? It says we r sailing , What exactly do we see those 3 days?
- Guide of EphesusOperator•Written February 2025
We check in to the gulet and brief you about your cruise. Lunch will be served shortly afterwards. Our first sight for the day is the Sunken City, an ancient town that dates back 2000 years to the Lycian period and was destroyed by an earthquake in the 2nd century. We will cruise over this protected World Heritage site nice and slowly to enjoy the view, however as this is a protected sight no swimming, diving or snorkelling is allowed. Following this, we will anchor down near Kekova and the island of Kalekoy to visit Simena Castle. Guests can enjoy walking through the cobbled streets of the town or head into the castle to witness some amazing views of the Kekova region. Today you will cruise onto Kas, which is a small fishing village with some of the best shopping in the area, especially unique jewellery pieces. You will be given time to explore the local shops, including lots of handmade jewellery, clothes stores and some local cafes for a great brew of coffee. This morning wake up to vivid blue sea and find yourself in Butterfly Valley. Wake yourself up with a morning swim, have breakfast and then take the optional hike up to the waterfall. Butterfly Valley is known to be the home to over 136 different types of butterflies and moths, in the summer months they can be difficult to spot though as they search for cooler climates deeper in the valley. For lunch, we will moor near the Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz. Much swimming is to be had here and most venture into the Blue Lagoon over the rocks. Oludeniz Beach and the Blue Lagoon are one of the most photographers beaches in the world due to the thousands that paraglide here each year. Please note day 6-7 and 8 is sailing days and accomodation will be in the boat.
