This excursion is nothing short of fantastic! My husband and our two teenagers all had an amazing day on this trip. The tour guide ‘Jesus’ was very knowledgeable, helpful and fun. We learned so much about the areas we visited and Turkey in general. The boat ride provides beautiful views and the mud baths are so much fun. I loved the thermal bath, it was so lovely and relaxing after the cold shower to get the mud off. I was worried it would be packed but it wasn’t at all. The highlight for me was seeing the turtles. I can’t tell you how many trips I’ve been on where they’ve promised I’ll see a turtle and then we didn’t. No issues this time! The turtle was about 2m away from me. Breathtaking. The food was good, not great but very adequate. The photographer is also very good, not intrusive and the photos are really lovely. There is an opportunity to buy crab to eat and feed the shells to the turtles. We don’t eat crab for religious reasons but I regretted not getting one because you are much more likely to see the turtles if you chuck the crab shells into the water. Overall this is great value for money and highly recommended.
