What to expect

Destination: Relaxation. If your ideal day involves watching the scenery drift by while spending quality time with your loved ones, then this gulet yacht cruise fits the bill. Designed with families in mind, you'll spend the day at sea with no less than four swim stops, lunch and drinks included. Haluk, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Traditional wooden schooners called gulets have been used for fishing and sponging around the Mediterranean since ancient times. Nowadays, they've become a popular way to show holidaymakers around the bays of the Aegean coast.'

Sun, sea and swimming are the order of the day on this family cruise. There's plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling, as your captain will drop anchor a minimum of four times in the hidden bays and sheltered coves along this dazzling coastline. And if you join us on a Monday, you'll be treated to some free time to explore the resort of Turunç.

When you've worked up an appetite, a freshly prepared lunch will be served up on deck by the crew, alongside water and soft drinks at no extra charge. For any other extras, there's a bar on board, too. It's a memorable family day out with sun-splashed holiday vibes written all over it.

    Lovely boat , excellent food & crew very welcoming. Stops for swim were lovely however the last stop seemed to be cut short for some reason. My only slight criticism was they ordered a taxi to take some of us back to hotel , it arrived late & there were not enough seats for all of us do some children had to sit on parents knees . Not ideal or safe . Otherwise it was a great day .

    I have previously used the same boat for sunset experience two days before. When l booked this trip l was shown a different ship on the screen but when l got at the place l abit surprised to the same ship l have used on my previous trip serving the same menu without any other option only for vegetarian. I also disappointed.

    Great experience, would have been nice to know that I needed to bring cash for buying extras and also there was a shopping stop en-route which I did not know in advance. Also a little more time would have been good on the shopping stop as this seemed a bit rushed.

Ancient Ephesus tour with Virgin Mary House visit and lunch

Ancient Ephesus tour with Virgin Mary House visit and lunch

It's home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis, and holds layers of history from the Bronze Age, Classical Greek and Roman times. On this full-day tour to the beautifully preserved site of the ancient city of Ephesus, it's easy to imagine the toga-clad crowds that filled the streets 2,000 years ago. One of our local expert guides, Ahmet, says, "my favourite spot in Ephesus is the Library of Celsus. Its soaring columns still radiate a sense of grandeur, offering a glimpse into what was once one of the greatest libraries of the Roman world – home to more than 12,000 scrolls.”When you arrive, you'll wander down marble-paved streets, gaze at mosaics in ancient Roman houses and see the once imposing buildings of the Library of Celsus, the Temple of Hadrian and the Grand Theatre. As well gaining a wealth of knowledge from the museum there, your guide will explain the historical context and point out the most interesting features. After this, it's time for a buffet lunch at a nearby restaurant – the perfect chance to refuel before the next stop.Round things off with a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary, a modest chapel with hundreds of years of history. The foundations date back to the 1st-century, when St John the Apostle supposedly carried Mary to her final resting place, here in the hills of Mount Koressos. Whether you follow any faith or none, there's an undeniable spirituality to this place that makes it a great spot for some quiet reflection at the end of your trip.
