Three coves, a swim ladder and lunch off the back deck — the Turkish boat day is a formula, and it works. These 15 differ on how many people are aboard, whether drinks are included and how much of the day is actually spent moving.

Considering the price of alcoholic drinks in Istanbul, this was a bargain. The show was also very nice and entertaining, especially the belly dancer. I even have some really funny pictures of her with my teenage son—nothing inappropriate, just pure fun.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 2,919 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $19

From Side, enjoy a jeep off-road through Green Canyon and Green Lake, with lunch, optional boat trip, and Manavgat Falls.

“Overall, the experience was a 10/10. The tour guides, Johnny and Miki were super nice, helpful and energetic. They really improved the overall atmosphere of the experience. Our jeep was overbooked for whatever reason so it was a bit cramped, especially during the off reading experience. The lunch that was served was good although the chicken a bit tough. All the places we saw on the tour and the routes to get there were amazing and our driver was really good. Would really recommend this.”
