Why settle for just seeing Greece while you're here? Turkey's just a short distance away and this trip offers a great taste of its culture and sights. Your adventure kicks off with a quick ride across the Aegean to Bodrum, a picturesque town nestled between two bays and divided by a historic crusader castle – it's like stepping into a postcard.

Once you arrive, you can choose between a guided tour or exploring on your own. If you go for the tour, you'll hit all of Bodrum's main landmarks and best viewpoints, with plenty of chances to snap photos of the town and its yacht-filled harbour from above. There's a chance to take a look at the old town's bustling bazaar, too.

Feeling more like a solo explorer? Shopping-wise, you'll be spoilt for choice, with every street loaded with shops and stalls selling spices, carpets and leather goods. Haggle your heart out, sip on Turkish coffee or just soak up the sights and sounds before boarding the boat for your return.

Our guide Doris from Germany was excellent. She explained what was about to happen so we knew what do do and where to go. That being said she still made sure everybody was accounted for even though she had to explain in both English and Deutsch even at the end of the trip climbing onto the bus making sure everyone was on the correct one. Our other guide from Turkey(Tubar?) also excellent, funny and helpful. Both a credit to TUI. Nearly forgot the driver punctual time keepong

The day in Turkey was fine. The service given by the guides was supportive because of the distress I experienced getting from being dropped off by the coach and the walk to the ferry terminal. I have difficulties walking due to MS. It MUST be stated in the information given about the trip the length of this walk.

Love it ,don’t think about it just get yourself over there ❤️

Trip overall was really well organised as we all enjoyed. The only negative aspect was the extremely long walk after disembarking in Greece to the bus pick up point, this is not mentioned anywhere during the booking process and it really should be. Several less able bodied people including myself struggled to walk the distance, I found it an extremely painful experience to walk that distance

We had to walk a long way to get transfer back all the way around Kos bay, we were dropped off a few walking to departures I have a foot injury and a lot of the older people took 45 mins to get there as they were struggling

Trip was great overall, really enjoyed the tour of Bodrum and shopping afterwards. Unfortunately our group was left standing next to the ferry station in the rain for about an hour waiting for the rep to give us our boarding passes, and there was a long walk (about a mile) around the harbour from the ferry to the coach - this was ok for us as we're all able bodied but some less able people did struggle with this, it would be good to mention this in the trip details.
