Had a lively day

Had a lovely day. It was a great boat. Our captain was amazing. And a very good chef as well. We hired the boat as 2 people. But it would be comfortable with 6.

Wonderful Private Tour

We had a wonderful private 7 hour tour with Musa and his lovely family. We swam in multiple beautiful locations, visited Kekova and Simena for lunch and visited the castle. During the day we were provided tea, coffee, fresh fruits, and great hospitality. The boat was perfect and had space for my family to spread out and enjoy the experience to the maximum. Value for money for the day we had was also brilliant. Cannot recommend highly enough!
