Gulet boat ride
The staff were efficient & the food was beautifully presented & tasty
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.
