This experience was a breath of fresh air. The sites speak for themselves. The trip is well organized and you will feel well taken care of. Ekrem, our guide, was well knowledgeable and had a balanced approach with the information sharing. Meaning that we didn’t feel overwhelmed with the amount of things we learned and we had time to actually enjoy the sights. I wish I had more time at the Icon Shop, I wanted to buy every piece of the beautiful green onyx dishes. Bring a swimsuit so you can enjoy the waters at Kekova. And the agency went above and beyond for us: We forgot our things on the bus and the bus driver kindly stopped by our hotel to drop it’s off. It was very easy to coordinate with the agency as well.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words! 😊 We’re very happy you enjoyed the tour and felt well taken care of. We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Ekrem and our team. Reviews like yours truly make us happy and motivate us to keep giving our best. We hope to welcome you again on another trip!
