Excursión a Marmaris Yuvarlakcay con almuerzo y crucero por el río Akyaka

It was a great day out, got to explore outside of Marmaris and see beautiful little towns. FYI!! Read this before going: Make sure you have breakfast!! It’s a must. As lunch is not served until 3pm! We got picked up at 9.30am outside of our hotel in a coach with air con. On the bus, you can buy water, soft drinks, beer around ~200 lira. We had a 30 mins drive to the Lover’s road which is just a photo op with eucalyptus trees for 10 mins. Then another 10-15 mins drive to town of Akyaka. We then had to walk 15 minutes minimum from the coach parking area to the boat trip. For elderly people or people who struggle walking, it may be a long walk especially in the heat. There is a hill you have to go through as well. The boat trip is a small boat cruise up and down the river for 15 mins. Then you get to explore either the town which was beautiful. Or swim in the beach or the river. As you only had 1 hour and a half, it’s best to decide early. The beach and river are a good 15 mins walk apart and likely will only get to choose one or the other. We then had an hour + drive to Yugavlacay which was the last stop. This is where we had lunch, a very picturesque restaurant on the river. You get a choice of fish, meatball or chicken. The chips are extra. Free salad bar. The food was great, drinks were cheap to buy and you can either dip into the ‘pool’ which is freezing (3 degrees Celsius) Or just take in the scenery for an hour and a half. All in all a great day! You got to get out of Marmaris, see something different and have a great day out. We got back to our hotel about 6pm. Just wish I had prepared myself more for the day as I didn’t get to eat until 3pm! Also we went with our gran, and she struggled to keep up with the group when we had to walk down into the town centre. Which would have been nice to know beforehand!

Great day out, fantastic meal included in the price. Needed more than the 45 minutes at the market. Maybe less time at Akyaka (after the boat ride) wasn’t really necessary to spend all that time there. It was beautiful but limited to what we could do. Sonny, our guide was great, very knowledgeable. One tip though, Sonny… you don’t need to shout in the microphone. We can hear you loud and clear throughout the coach, sometimes a bit too loud. There were many stops for toilets and drinks (maybe one less to accommodate extra time at the market) Had a great day and it’s now been ticked off of our bucket list.

Sonny our guide gave us lots of information on the coach ride before the river tour and we got to see some of Akyaka We stopped at Cinar restaurant, Yuvarlakcay for a bit of lunch and a cold dip in the river We also visited a market brazzar which needed a bit more time as it felt rushed Sonny was very helpful and welcoming

We have had the best time. All of my years coming to Marmaris I donot know why it has taken so long for me to find this place. Air conditioned bus was a great relief in the heat! Sonny, our guide was not only informative but funny also. He made the day fly in.

Very good time, beautiful scenery!! Sonny our guide was great, very informative and funny jokes throughout.

Very funny guide called sonny, gave good information and made all of us laugh even though it was hot.
