- eliyaroam0 contributionsAncient relics and historical resources are rare in this world of fundamentalism.Thanks to the Turkish administration.This is a great tribute to the Turkish administration for having preserved the past relic of history. Fundamentalism and fundamentalist have always meant as a threat to the story of man. The site of mother Mary house is a symbolic appreciation of cultural valuesWritten July 30, 2024
- nbassist0 contributionsMy favourite in TurkiyeAnother vacation in Turkiye and more trips with Metin Tour. Two years ago I visited Cappadocia and this year we explored the beautiful Tazi Canyon and enjoyed a local tour. A wide selection of tours and activities, excellent organization and a great atmosphere during the trips. Highly recommend!Written July 23, 2024
- M6453ZXkatarzynap0 contributionsAmazing tripRealny great jeep adventure. Beautiful views. Amazing photos. We were with children 5 and 9 years old. They had a great timeWritten July 17, 2024
- Pascalina12340 contributionsDive into historyWe loved the tour. We enjoyed the crystal and clear water of Kekova island , the boat stopped to swim in the water , Saint Nicholas church dated from the 6th century , a lot of informations given from tour guide Hassan about Saint Nicholas , The interesting ancient Myra city . So if you love history and same time swimming , I recommend you to do this tour .Written July 13, 2024
- Terri L0 contributionsA lovely way to see this beautiful part of Turkey.Very organised tour with friendly and helpful staff. We went to some beautiful swimming spots. The boat itself was very comfortable with plenty of shade.Written July 11, 2024
- corinaelsom0 contributionsSunset boat tripAmazing sunset boat trip swimming in the ocean, evening meal on board amazing sites on the boat for about 4.5 hours drinks on board payable at the end by cash or card very cheap.Written June 17, 2024
- 877melisap0 contributionsWorth a visit as much more for your money then advertised!Easy to organise transfer to and from boat, boat was comfy could have done with more shaded areas of seating on top of the boat as unfortunately a family of 4 had taken up 4 sunbeds/cushions and about 6 seats in the shade which meant other people were forced to sit in the sun, we stopped at a lot more bays then mentioned which was great, it was extremely hot (heat wave about 20c warmer then meant to be) so didn’t explore either of the places that was actually mentioned in the tour. Also recommend researching about butterfly valley as when we arrived, people from other tours who were coming away from the butterfly area were saying going in wasn’t worth it because it isn’t butterfly season.Written June 16, 2024
- jasper t0 contributionsPammukale and Cleopatra PoolsLong tour Pammukale is the most featured so spend more time coz you only got 3 hours. Cleopatra Pools was disappointment knowing Roman Bath is renowned for its clean aqueducts but too many slimmy moss floating clear warm water and such a small pool so too cramp with tourist.Written June 15, 2024

I went rafting 2 days ago with “Dalaman Rafting” team, we were three 26 year-old guys.
Of course the payment was done smoothly without any problem through Ali Baba agency, and like many other activities, photography is excluded. That was NOT a problem for us, but we didn’t want them to take photographs for us because this wasn’t our point of doing rafting.
In the boat, the manager Fethi put us with an old man who has back pain and had already asked them NOT to do any actions while rafting. When we asked Fethi to change our boat, he shouted at us and replied in a very irrespective way! He also shouted at our boat captain who was by our side and completely understood our point. He just walked away like we weren’t even there standing in front of him. VERY RUDE.
When we finished the whole activity, we found out that the other boats were having fun, doing moves with the boat, flipping, jumping into the river, and swimming, which are the main point of going in such an activity. At the end, they explained this with: “you didn’t want photos, and we do this ONLY for those who ask to include photography in their trip”.
Fethi the manager also had a problem managing us because we speak English. This was his excuse when we finally could have a conversation like other humans do at the end of the trip. Although he said “okay you were right, you can have a free rafting activity next time you’re in Fethiye” but it was too late, because this was our last day there.
Another thing is: apart from hotel transportation, the river was too far from the gathering point. We had to take a one-and-half long trip to arrive there wearing vests and helmets.
We should have known that this will be our worst day when we arrived at their place, when one of the workers said “yabancılar” in a sarcastic way -not knowing that we speak and understand Turkish because we are doctors who work in Istanbul. (oh those foreigners!)

We were assured when booking this trip that it was a 1 and a half hour transfer, I double checked twice because I don't travel well and don't want to spend precious time from my holiday stuck on a bus!!!
Anyway got picked up at 7.30am, three hours later we arrived at the rafting place. We were welcomed, shown a video and fed a nice continental breakfast. The Turkish speaking were given a half hour talk, the few English amongst us were given a two minute talk.
We were then fitted with a helmet and life jacket and transported 2 minutes down to the river We rowed for 10 mins across the river, where we got out, loaded the 5 rafts onto the tops of the buses and set off again, we travelled for another one and a half hours on a bus with no Aircon and not very good breaks, finally arrived at the river, got a safety briefing in English at the river side. The rapids were good, only about four small areas, but it was good fun. We were on the river for about an hour and a half and then headed back with the same travel arrangements on the return journey.
Over all the rafting and the breakfast and lunch were great but it wasn't good enough for the 10 hours that we spent on a bus!!!

Been white water rafting in turkey twice now. The instructors are really skilled and u get great instruction before you get out on the water. It's great crashing into the rocks and trying not to fall out of canoe. Be warned this is a fast paced experience and can be dangerous, our instructor really hurt his back the last time we went. It's a great day for any thrill seekers.
