Frequently asked questions

The Private Tour means all tours and transfers for the entire 14 days are conducted exclusively for your party. The Semi-Private Tour is a cost-effective choice where daily sightseeing is conducted in a Small Group (max 12–14 guests), while your multi-city airport transfers remain private.

Yes, this is a full-service package. The price covers all domestic flight tickets (Istanbul-Izmir, Antalya-Kayseri, and Kayseri-Istanbul), 10 nights of accommodation in 4-star standard hotels, and 3 nights of accommodation on the Gulet Cruise.

Dinner is included on Day 1 as part of the Bosphorus Dinner Cruise, as well as on all three nights of the Blue Cruise. Breakfast is included each morning throughout the tour. For Small Group Tour guests, lunch is included on scheduled sightseeing days. Lunch is not included for Private Tour guests; instead, your guide will help you choose a suitable restaurant according to your preferences. Drinks are not included with any meals.

The four-day Blue Cruise includes accommodation in a private cabin on a traditional gulet. Each cabin has its own private bathroom. Our standard option is a mixed-age cruise with a more relaxed atmosphere. A younger, more social cruise can also be arranged on request, subject to travel dates and availability.

Most of the main entrance fees are included in the package. However, admission to the Terrace Houses in Ephesus and swimming in Cleopatra's Antique Pool in Pamukkale are not included. Entrance fees for any optional sites visited during the Blue Cruise, such as Simena Castle, must also be paid separately at the site. The Cappadocia hot-air balloon flight is optional and is not included in the package price. We can arrange the reservation on request, subject to availability and weather conditions.

This is a one-way cruise. The cruise concludes on Day 7 in Demre, where you will be met and transferred privately to your hotel in Antalya.

Due to the early morning domestic flight, pickup from your hotel in Istanbul on Day 2 is typically very early, around 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM. This early start is necessary to maximize your sightseeing time in Ephesus.

You will need clothing suitable for different parts of the journey. Modest clothing that covers the shoulders and knees is recommended for visits to mosques and other religious sites, while comfortable walking shoes are important for ancient cities, travertines and underground sites. For the Blue Cruise, bring a swimsuit, sun protection, sandals or water shoes, and a small soft-sided bag. Large hard-shell suitcases can be difficult to store in gulet cabins.

The transfers and surrounding areas are accessible. However, archaeological sites (Ephesus, Hierapolis) and the Kaymakli Underground City may be challenging due to uneven terrain and stairs. Your guide will assist you with the best available routes.

The cabin is private, but the gulet is normally shared with other passengers. Private gulet charter options can also be arranged on request, depending on the group size, travel date and budget.

Yes. Each cabin includes a private bathroom with a shower and toilet.

Both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned gulet options are available. Air-conditioning hours may vary according to the boat, route and operating conditions, so the exact arrangement will be confirmed before booking.

We select the most suitable available boat according to the guests’ age group, preferred atmosphere, travel style and activity expectations. Some boats are more social and lively, while others offer a quieter experience.

Large suitcases can usually be taken on board, but cabin storage space is limited. Soft-sided luggage or a smaller overnight bag is more practical during the Blue Cruise. Please contact us before travelling if you have oversized luggage.
