5.00Super. Nicely arranged. Just looking for a place to leave was a thing. But left neatly on time and also back on time. Totally fine
Be aware of the service charges.

2.00The travel across was fine, no hassles. Once in Bodrum, we just mooched about. Lots of restaurants wanting us to go in and eat. We ended up going in to one, can’t honestly remember the name. Ordered some food, nothing expensive as we only had limited T Lira. We got the bill & they had put on a MASSIVE service charge which took all our money. We looked shocked & was trying to do the math but the waiter was waiting for our cash. We felt intimidated. Maybe it was because we were 2 women alone. ADVICE-ask what the service charge is before you enter any resturant. We stopped off for a drink in another place, they also added a service charge. It seems Bodrum is all about the service charge. Loved mooching about thou, was extremely hot. The Turkish delight was amazing & some great shops to look in. Some shops pounce on you as soon as you walk in. There was one shop that just let us have a look about and we bought some bits in there.
Fabulous Bodrum, but quite a trial.

3.00We had a great day in Bodrum, it was an amazing place. Great history, shopping and a brilliant beach area to the side of the castle where some of the bars and restaurants actually had the first row of seats in the sea. However what wasn’t clear when we booked this was the huge hassle this day trip would be. Please be aware that you will have four (yes 4) pretty long and arduous passport queues. We assumed having queued for ages in Kos at 8:30 in the morning that we’d just hop off the boat the other end, but oh no. We were forced to queue on the harbour side in the baking sun with no shade for 30+ minutes. It was awful. We then had something similar on the way back. Being honest we had a great day…but if I’d have known in advance the officialdom of it all in advance I wouldn’t have gone. Be warned.

5.00Fabulous trip - loved Bodrum. Queue for boat was a bit confusing but not a real problem. Visited shops & the castle. Lunch by edge of sea. A great day out
