This company is absolutely awful. The sights themselves were nice, but the arrangements made were simply unbearable. To start with, we were picked up from our hotel and it took 2 hours of bumpy roads in a minibus with broken air conditioning to get to our boat. Afterwards, we boarded and were surprised to find the boat, Eyüp Reis 2, completely overbooked. The seats on the first deck were completely crowded, and the top deck was also filled up aside from unshaded sunbeds exposed to the searing summer heat. To top it all off, once we arrived at St. Nicholas Island, we swam for a bit and came back onboard for lunch. We were told to take a seat, except there are no seats *at all* available on the bottom deck. Instead of offering to take the food to the top deck for us, we had to ask, and of course, the first person said it's fine while the next person took over and said it isn't allowed. So we sat hungry because of a complete lack of space to have a meal while being denied having our meal where there IS space. Other boats around us had no issues with people taking their food to the top deck. Do not book this company despite the good reviews it receives, at least not for the Butterfly Valley excursion. Spend a little more money and go for a company that cares about your experience, instead of treating you like cattle. I repeat: This company is AWFUL! The only upside is the staff on the phone are extremely helpful and speak English very well, which is where our positivity with them ended.

Our group of 8 embarked the "Revenge" at Fethiye for a 3-day cruise, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. On Day 2, the weather turned a little ugly, but it didn't last long. The crew made a few changes to the schedule and menu because it was not possible to cook. The Skipper and crew were excellent in all respects. The food was great. Capt Ergul was delightful company as well, and kept us in the loop about everything. Our other 8 co-passengers were wonderful too!

My friends and I were sailing for 1 week with Alaturka2 in the beginning of October 2019. My husband and I have arrived at Dalaman airport late when the boat with passengers left the port. The driver from the company picked us at the airport and drove to the place where the small motorboat picked us up and brought to Alaturka2, which was anchored for the night. Everything was quick, nice and smooth. The crew even left a delicious dinner for us. Thank you very much for such a good service. The trip was great, weather was gorgeous, all the places we’ve attended were very interesting and beautiful. Especially I like excursion to Dalyan. I also like the food they served, always fresh, well prepared, a lot of veggies and fruits but I’d like to have little more sweets for the breakfast and afternoon tea. We had great people on the boat, including the crew, I had a lot of fun. Thank you!

Unforgettable journey along Turkish coast line. Beautiful views while sailing, during resting and swimming in blue bays, and when visiting towns along the way. The crew was very polite and friendly, food was delicious - Mustafa is a god of kitchen! Sleeping on top of the deck and jumping into water from the yacht felt so romantic! Water was clean and warm.

I traveled with 2 groups of people on 2 different yachts (one week on each). There were great scenery, abundant historical places, blue clear waters and artsy villages on a way. Alaturka 81 was a great ship with very professional crew who anticipated all our needs. Our cook Mustafa was preparing great meals, our captain were finding the best bays for swimming and spending a night. We had lot's of fun and great moments. Second week on Alaturka 2 we went to Marmaris, Cleopatra bath and other places. Food was good but we wish we could have more fish. People in Alaturka office was very nice and inviting, they served us Turkish tea, helped to do laundry between 2 trips, stored our luggage. The whole experience with Alaturka was very good and we are planning to do more exciting trips with them.

gulet cruise Fethiye to Olympos starting oct8. Was forced to do 12islands instead without notice due to bad weather and was not told of change until end of the first day when we reached the 12 islands. Very apologetic crew who bent over backwards (especially lady staff member who was supposed to be on holiday but helped us instead) to accomodate our request to go on the Oludeniz paragliding (which was not possible due to the change in itinerary). The company paid for alternative transport back to Fethiye and the altered private transport Fethiye to Antalya (originally paid for demre to Antalya transport, which was no longer possible due to change in itinerary). Although distressed at the time, we have no complaints as the company went above and beyond their duty to help us. Suggestions to improve: if the first day itinerary to Oludeniz and butterfly valley is not possible (Due to weather) please consider arranging alternative transport by road, and for gulet to pick us up later, as some passengers book your tour specifically for the blue Lagoon/Paragliding. If that is not possible please try to advise passengers of change in itinerary before leaving Fethiye and give us option to cancel or find alternative methods.

Beautiful yacht, really lovely staff and DELICIOUS food! Can't fault this and will book again I am sure! A must do for groups I especially loved being able to sleep up on the deck under the stars (even though the cabin was also very comfy)

We did the 4 day three night blue cruise on ‘revenge’ and it was AMAZING. We could have stayed on longer. The staff were lovely and professional. The boat was spotlessly clean and the food was delicious.

The boat (Grand Alaturka) and crew of four with Captain Volkan was excellent in every respect. We were two families with four adults and 5 teenagers. The captain is a 5th generation captain who knew the coast intimately. He found beautiful anchorages along the coast and had great recommendations when we visited villages and small cities along the way. We had a memorable, fun, relaxing week, and would do it again without reservation. The crew were very responsive to our requests and helpful in so many ways. In addition, during the long planning phase in the months prior to our arrival we were very professionally supported and guided by Alaturka Cruises team. They were the initial reason we chose the company because they offered great advice and detail to facilitate the planning of the trip - our first.

Great hospitality, great staff, amazing food.... you have what you need. Well done. I recommended for sure . Seyhan , the Netherlands

This is a "can't miss" experience! Four days/three nights on board a small cruise, stopping at islands, coastal towns, and idyllic coves along the way. The crew was very accommodating, preparing great food everyday and ensuring everyone was looked after. The waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and just relaxing. Pamukkale is a bit of a drive, but has unique geography along with ancient ruins in the background. The end point, Kusadasi, is an underrated city with lots of arts and entertainment on offer. Our stay there was perhaps too short, as there was more to do and see than we anticipated. Absolutely recommended for families!

I had a wonderful 3 night, 4 day cruise with Alaturka. The staff onboard were amazing and the food was delicious. It was a great way to see the Turkish coastline and a highlight of my trip. The same company let me store my bag in Selçuk for the day while I visited Ephesus for no charge. Thanks Alaturka!

I want to thank you for organising this tour so quickly. We decided at the last minute to book a trip to Turkey to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful. Our guide was fantastic, his knowledge, humour and patience made our holiday something special. He was very sensitive to our needs and requests as well as giving us various options based on our preferences. The accommodation was outstanding and knowing that you were readily available to us if we needed anything was very comforting. Thank you again for a wonderful holiday.

An amazing trip with an amazing crew couldn’t recommend enough. The crew was super helpful and a pleasure to be around for the whole trip. Of course the trip was lovely too, the Turkish Mediterranean is something special. The boats are super comfortable and well looked after. 10/10

Been wanting to do this cruise for a number of years, but waited until children were old enough (8 & 10). It was fantastic from start to finish, food was excellent, the crew were friendly and fun, a real experience for the children to mix and dine with people from around the world, sleep on deck beneath the stars, watch sunrises and sunsets, jump into the sea and snorkel. We were a family with 5 other couples, and we all had a great time. 3 nights 4 days was just long enough. We did bring some snacks on board, mainly for the children to eat between meals and bottled water was provided Free of charge throughout. Its total relaxation, nothing to do but relax, watch the scenery go by, read, chat with other passengers, and we did have wifi. Amazing experience! Thankyou!
