My grandmother and I took the Bosphorus Yacht cruise with a stop over on the Asian side on 1 March 2023. I would highly recommend this tour to all! The staff were very friendly, accommodating, and ready to answer my many many questions. A great experience! They also provided transport to and from our hotel which is a massive plus!
Had a lovely trip with a very friendly and welcoming group. Our tour guide was lovely and made some great restaurant bookings for us including one meal right on the beach with the waves crashing! The sea kayaking was the highlight for me, lovely to be out on the water , though it is surprisingly hard work! The hotel Artemis we stayed at was very nice , clean modern rooms, lovely breakfast with amazing views, though getting a drink from the hotel bar was challenging at times!! My only criticism is the walks, they were much harder than leisurely/moderate , some of the walks on the itinerary had to be changed as paths were closed which is fine and unavoidable but the replacements were often on steep scree slopes and involved clambering over large rocks at times , some of the group found this v challenging especially with the heat! If these walks are to be kept then this trip needs to be upgraded in difficulty so people are aware what they will be facing. Turkey is beautiful though and thoroughly enjoyed my time here :)
Great tour using Expatexplore! Wonderful guide, Ege, shared his love of Turkey, the history , his support and caring fun nature . Made new friends from around the world , stayed in good hotels and lots of dinners included. The bus driver was incredible too. Highly recommend
