I'm overridden by the excursion.

You overruled my experience without explaining the reason. I felt like enjoying it. Thank you so much for letting me see pictures of the islands.

Not worth it.

Depending on where you stay, the time you spend on the transport can be very long. Being the first, we spent over 2.5hrs on the transport before we reached the ferry before departure. The journey is boring. 2 hrs to 1st island which you spent 2hrs on it. And another 1 hrs to Prince's island where you spent another hr on it before heading back. Not much to do at the islands other than walk, find a restaurant to sit down. The only reprieve is that while on the islands, the air is cleaner as there are less smokers. But on the ferry, it can get bad if many passengers are smoking. So basically you are on a floating cloud of smokes breathing in second hand smoke. I think you will have better experience if you can stay there for a night or two if you like some quite island life and hike around.

Not as advertised

Pressured to take pics in cheesey costumes, as well as, with a parrot so they can sell you the pics. I said no thank you. Advertised that vegan food is available for the lunch selection…,,not true. The islands are not worth seeing ..,,,there is not much there. The snack bar on board the boat only had junk food to buy like chips & candy bars….nothing nice, fresh or healthy. To top it off they surprise you at the end of the trip telling you we are walking to the car..,,,only to insist that you go inside of a leather shop for a fashion show. Pushy sales tactic & was not interested..,,was not advertised as part of the excursion & felt like bait and switch tactics. They gave me a pick up time of 8:30 AM-8:45 AM & then showed up at 8:20 expecting that I was ready. I wasted my last day in Istanbul doing this tour. Soooo disappointed. Loved everything else that I did on my vacation in Istanbul. I did two other boat tours while here with other companies & they were both amazing. Lesson learned. 😟
