Amazing experience no.1 – Sleeping in hidden bays away from crowds!
This is for sure one of the best things that can happen to you if you rent a gulet in Turkey. Gulet goes on anchor in some super nice hidden bay. There is no noise around you and all you do is eat, relax, drink, enjoy the company or watch the stars above you. And one of the best things you can do is to spend the entire night on deck, sleeping outside.
Amazing experience no.2 – Food!
You can not really consider this as a “trip” however I just have to mention it. Turkish food is one of the most amazing in the World and it would be a shame if you would not give it a try.
Amazing experience no.3 – Sea!
Every day you will have the possibility to swim in a different place. Turkey is famous for its turquoise sea and swimming and snorkeling there is a very very nice experience also.
Amazing experience no.4 – Towns and small villages!
Bodrum, Marmaris, Gocek, Fethiye, Antalya, Kas, Kekova, Hisaronu, Datca, Bozborun, Oludeniz, Kalkan, Dalyan, Gokova, Bencik….To name just a couple of very nice places. You can google most of them and they all have their own special charm. If you wish to party, Bodrum and Marmaris are the places for you. If you wish good nature Kekova and Gocek bay are amazing. If you wish to see history experience the Lycian ways.
