What to expect

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.

    Guide wasn't helpful, lady wanting to use toilet told her to wait till boat, staff on the boat good, food good. Taken to dirty river and dirty beach. Not enjoyable.!!! Due to poor weather wasn't able dock in harbour back to river, boat travelling much to fast, people falling over and a number of people being sick.

    Overall we enjoyed the experience - food was good, would have liked to have seen a bit more. The only negative aspect from us is that we both felt that it was very expensive for what it was .

    I was told that the trip would be a tour of side and then there would be the boat trip. This was not the case. There was no tour of which the rep who sold me the trip told me there would be. I specifically requested that I didn't want to do just a boat only trip. The actual boat trip was nowhere near worth the price of £100 that I paid for it. We were squashed in on the boat I was told it would only be 16 persons. The food wasn't enough to go round I feel that I should be recompensed

    I'm a Barbie girl music playing loudly as you're traveling through a beautiful gorge wasn't appropriate or enjoyable!! Visiting a clothing outlet described by the guide as a textile centre wasn't good. We only did this to see the gorge. Few people bought anything. Food queue for lunch was awful - felt like a cattle market. We stood in the sun queuing. Bus guide was very good and informative. Boat was not as crowded as expected - just a real shame about the music in an area of beauty.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Mujeres de Antalya, del pasado al presente

Hace casi dos milenios, Plancia Magna abrió un nuevo camino al causar un sorprendente impacto en la ciudad de Perge, a pesar del papel pasivo habitual de las mujeres en aquella época. Nació en el seno de una familia rica y poderosa, pero en lugar de llevar la típica vida fácil, utilizó su posición privilegiada en beneficio de la ciudad. Su valentía, su independencia y su carácter fueron apreciadas mucho después de su época, e inspiraron a mujeres con el paso de los años a buscar papeles influyentes en la sociedad. Un guía, formado en National Geographic, te enseñará la antigua ciudad de Perge centrándose en la vida y el legado de Plancia Magna, una figura motivadora incluso en la actualidad. Y es que, quizás, Plancia fuera una fuente de inspiración para Hatice Adıgüzel, cuyo taller visitarás después. Descubre la destreza y el arte necesarios para crear lámparas y adornos de jardín a partir de calabazas, y escucha de la propia Hatice que lo que distingue a su negocio es su liderazgo en un entorno laboral dominado por hombres, así como su compromiso por la motivación de las mujeres locales y la elección de materiales sostenibles. Durante un taller práctico, tendrás la oportunidad de hacer tu propia calabaza decorativa y aprender más sobre el trabajo de Hatice con la comunidad local de mujeres. Hatice retribuye su éxito contratando a mujeres de la zona para que decoren las calabazas desde sus casas para su negocio. También preparan los aperitivos que disfrutarás durante el taller. El objetivo de Hatice es ayudar a las mujeres que no pueden trabajar en un empleo convencional por tener que cuidar a sus hijos o por otras limitaciones similares, ofreciéndoles así una forma cómoda de ganarse la vida.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Explorando la cultura nómada de Antalya

Las faldas de los montes Tauros han sido una región de paso y comercio durante milenios. Con esta excursión de National Geographic conocerás en primera persona las antiguas tradiciones que aún perviven en la zona y visitarás a una familia yörük para conocer de cerca su estilo de vida nómada. Primero, te dirigirás al puente selyúcido de Aspendos junto con tu guía, quien te contará datos fascinantes sobre este sitio. Construido alrededor del siglo IV a orillas del Köprüçay, esta maravilla arquitectónica es famosa por su característico trazado en zigzag, testimonio de su intrigante historia. También visitarás un antiguo caravasar de Kargıhan, que soprendentemente conserva casi intacto la mayor parte de su diseño original. Sentirás que retrocedes en el tiempo mientras exploras con el guía las habitaciones de la posada, las dependencias del guardián, la sala de baños y la sala de oración. Es un lugar que irradia historia, donde innumerables viajeros buscaron refugio y descanso. El pueblo yörük ha perfeccionado su estilo de vida nómada durante siglos. Cada primavera, las comunidades emigran con sus rebaños desde las apacibles llanuras costeras hasta los montañosos pastos estivales. Pasa un rato con una familia yörük y conoce su forma de vida sostenible. Disfruta de una rica comida con vistas a los montes Tauro. Cerca de allí, encontrarás un sitio donde comprar productos locales como jabones, tés, aceites y mucho más. Los beneficios se destinan a las comunidades afectadas por recientes terremotos o incendios forestales. Para terminar, visitarás el bonito pueblo otomano de Ormana, conocido por sus ingeniosas «casas abotonadas».
