Beautiful bays and a fun shipwreck snorkel, but the lunch took a bit longer than I’d hoped. Once we ate though, drifting around Güvercin Island made up for the wait.

We traveled with our two kids and all our luggage, and the minibus felt spacious and comfortable. The driver helped load everything without a fuss, and the air‑con and Wi‑Fi kept the kids happily entertained. It felt so much more relaxed than wrestling with taxis or shuttle buses.

The tour had some great moments, especially the boat ride and the views of the rock tombs. But overall, it felt a bit too long for our kids. The lunch was okay, nothing special. We also found the jeep ride a bit uncomfortable at times on the rougher roads. It’s not a bad experience, just not as smooth or informative as I expected.
