This tour is a MUST: the colour of the water, the views and the option to swim close to turtles. The food (prepared on the ship) was excellent. In addition, they give us also the possibility to visit Myra (Demre)
We had such an amazing time on the sunset trip from Demre and back - Ahmed was a lovely host, and the experience far far exceeded expectations. Two beautiful swims and lots of incredible scenery.
