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

4.4/5
216 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.

    When we purchased this from the TUI rep we was told that the commute was 20 minutes on a coach. When we traveled for the trip it was over and hour in the coach and then a train and a walk to the boat. The rep had also mentioned about snorkelling however there was none on this trip. The boat staff was lovely, the food was amazing.

    We really enjoyed the adult only boat trip. The staff and crew were very friendly and accommodating to our every needs. We had a relaxing time on the boat and the swim stops and the beach were perfect. The lunch was very good and they even catered for me being gluten and dairy free. They got me separate gluten free pasta and a dessert. We felt it was great value for money and would recommend this trip.

    First of all the crew and guide were vry good, making sure we were ok by giving us drinks as it was a hot day, any questions you had about where we are going or about the places we visited were answered straight especially the guide.
