Exploring the local shops in Kaş was a truly enriching and delightful experience. The shopkeepers were very polite and genuinely reflected the authentic culture of Turkey through their beautiful handmade crafts. Swimming and paragliding were incredibly fun as well. The cruise is highly recommended!
I absolutely loved swimming in the crystal-clear water. The beautiful scenery surrounded me from all sides. The charm of Kaş truly captured my heart with its unique character. The town is filled with shops offering stunning handmade jewelry. I also had a wonderful time scuba diving—it was an incredibly joyful and beautiful experience.
Our entire cruise was incredibly vibrant, thanks largely to the breathtaking beauty of Butterfly Valley. The blue waters, the colorful butterflies, the orange-yellow sunsets and sunrises, and the stunning sky made every moment feel perfect. Aquarium Bay near Kalkan was also bursting with colors. Highly recommended!
My blue cruise with my spouse was an unforgettable journey. We had an amazing time paragliding and swimming. Our moments at Butterfly Valley and the island were also incredibly memorable.
Our four-day blue cruise from Fethiye to Olympos was an unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, I truly enjoyed every moment. The captain, who was highly skilled and professional, made the experience even more special.
