5.0 based on 2 reviews
Every guided tour Akdeniz Adventures leads is specifically designed to maximize the experience of each customer. That means going above and beyond what you expect. During our Kayakoy to Oludeniz hike, we set the pace as fast or slow as you (the customer) desires. Around the half-way point, we stop for an extended break, allowing the hikers an opportunity to take the breathtaking view of the Mediterranean (and Saint Nicolas Island!). This is also when our guides break out coffee, tea, and snacks! Every experience you have with Akdeniz Adventures will be enjoyable and unlike any other. Every guide is a native English speaker, knows the surrounding area, and puts the comfort of the customer (you) above all else.
Inclusions: Snacks, Coffee & Tea are offered at the half-way viewpoint.

I was in Fethiye with a group of friends and Akdeniz Adventures arranged a six-hour boat trip for us out of Ölüdeniz. The scenery was spectacular - water doesn't get more turquoise than that! We stopped at three different spots for swimming and snorkelling. I liked that it felt like just the right amount of time in each place without feeling rushed. The sea is so salty you can literally just lie back and recline in it - so relaxing! I'm not a super confident snorkelled (seasickness...) but some of the spots were really calm and I enjoyed floating around and looking at the the fish and sea urchins. (We brought our own snorkelling gear, but there were also pool noodles on the boat.). The captain was really friendly and the crew served us drinks (for purchase) and lunch. There was plenty of shade on the boat - great as we had lots of kids with us - and comfortable benches and mats to lie on on the upper deck. I was grateful it wasn't as loud and crowded as the "party boats" around us. It was just our group on the boat, but I was aware that this was a very doable trip in terms of "social distancing", as vacations during COVID take some creativity. Totally recommend it!

We have met with Chihangir in Paris and he helped me with my trip a lot. He is an excellent guide and a very nice person. He is well organized, friendly, honest, and professional in his job. He has deep knowledge of the history of his country Turkey and he was glad to share it with me. I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide as well as his services.

Our group of 8 embarked the "Revenge" at Fethiye for a 3-day cruise, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. On Day 2, the weather turned a little ugly, but it didn't last long. The crew made a few changes to the schedule and menu because it was not possible to cook. The Skipper and crew were excellent in all respects. The food was great. Capt Ergul was delightful company as well, and kept us in the loop about everything. Our other 8 co-passengers were wonderful too!

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.
