“We had the best time, we got transported from our hotel in Side at 8:30am and returned at 3pm. Our driver Joseph was the best, really kept the group entertained. The lunch was stunning we had bread, chicken breast, salad, pasta and cous cous served buffet style. You get taken around to see all the sights and get a lot of photo opportunities. We went in November towards the end of the season so I would recommend taking a jacket as it can be chilly in the morning also some sunglasses and scalf/bandana to cover your face from the dust if you forget they do offer bandana’s for €5 before…”

Review of the Suluada boat tour from Antalya, with hotel transfers, lunch, swimming stops, practical tips, drawbacks, and value advice.

“The tour began with a hotel pickup in the Antalya area. The pickup was slightly delayed, but the driver stayed in contact, so it was manageable. After picking us up, the driver collected other guests from nearby hotels. He got lost a few times and seemed frustrated, but the atmosphere remained light-hearted.
