An ok trip, that could easily be improved on

3.00An ok trip. Quite a lot of time on the water and enough time to swim. We received tea and biscuits on arrival at the boat. In the afternoon some fruit. Lunch was at a small restaurant. 2 options, fish or chicken. The issue was however that the 'guide' they speak of is non-existent. Crew barely spoke more than 2 words English (or where unwilling to do so) apart from the captain. It felt like he had to do everything. There was no bottom window in the boat for the underwater city and they did not inform us (tourists or Local Turkish travellers) that we where moving past/over it. The communication was just bad all round (also to the turkish travellers). Only because we asked about Myra where we driven there. Think about what you wish to see and how before booking. This is not a bad trip but know what you book.
Swimming with the Turtles just wow

3.00This trip was not a small group tour. We were picked up from Smiley's by a small shuttle (max 15 people) to be transferred to Demre where we boarded a 45 ppl capacity boat. The "glass bottom boat" was infact 4 small glass panel tables (approx 30cmx100cm) in the main boat. The bus driver only spoke Turkish however most of the crew on the boat spoke (besides Turkish) English and perhaps other languages. The guide on the boat gave good commentary in both English and Turkish at each stop. All the crew were friendly and lunch was nice with a good selection of dishes. The highlight for me was visiting Simena and walking up to the castle from which the views were amazing. The sunken city was interesting but we couldn't see much below the water. The 4 swim stops were great and enjoyed by most on the boat. After boat tour we returned to Demre to be picked up by same bus driver and taken to Myra for half hr followed by St Nicholas church for half hr. No one on our bus paid the €15 entry for Myra and €17 for St Nicholas church as we felt it was too expensive for half hr visit.
Beautiful trip, relaxed and comfortable

5.00Really great trip and such awesome boat staff! We had unfortunate wind change and they made every effort to still make our trip amazing 🙌 food was amazing (and really proper food) views and stops are spectacular. Tip for foreigners - rather ask to pay entrances in TL (cards are accepted) and take additional TL for souvenirs. I have recommended this to all our friends and family and all have had amazing experiences.
Excellent experience

5.00It was a wonderful day sailing around Turkish coast. It was almost a private tour, since we were only 6 people and our lovely captain and his wife. We combined swimming and visiting ancient Lycian places. The lunch was excellent and rich. Thanks to "Sail'nstay" and Ibrahim!
