Adults-only Gulet cruise with lunch, drinks and optional transfers from Side

4.4/5
250 reviews

Why not treat yourself with a relaxing boat trip which serves up the little luxuries that make being on holiday so special? Set sail from Side aboard a traditional gulet for this adults-only cruise for a day of sun, scenery and snoozing. What's more, there's an open bar stocked with local drinks as well as lunch and plenty of chances to cool off with a swim. Haluk, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Gulets were originally used for fishing and sponging around the Mediterranean. From the 1970s onwards, these wooden schooners became a popular way to ferry holidaymakers around the bays of the Aegean coast.'

Settle down to watch the coastline unfurl as you sail out of Side harbour – with the breeze in your hair, sparkling sea and a bar onboard, it's easy to unwind. We'll cruise along the Mediterranean coast and into the River Manavgat. Soak up every inch of Side's photogenic surroundings while your skipper sails and the crew look after you. With plenty of space and a guaranteed sunbed to top up your tan, you can relax on deck as we find the perfect place to drop anchor for a swim.

Between dips in the water and catching a few rays, why not enjoy a drink or two from the open bar – beer, wine, water and soft drinks are all included – or coffee and cookies served up by the crew? There's also a freshly prepared lunch with dessert, followed by more time for swimming, sunbathing or snoozing in the shade – on this gulet cruise, the choice is yours.

    The staff on the boat and the food and service was excellent. There were 3 lovely swim stops. The experience was relaxing. I would have liked to have more information from the guide about the area. We did get some information but in would have liked more input. Also a lot of people smoking and this blowing over non smokers but I appreciate that it is more socially acceptable in turkey

    We enjoyed the trip overall, we thought the tour guide could speak a little bit more English than German and felt this trip was more geared towards the German guests
