My partner and I capped off our first visit to Türkiye with a private Boat Trip by Captain Ergun — and it was the ideal way to end the lovely trip! Especially after spending the first half of our holiday in busy, bustling Istanbul — spending the day lounging around on the water was such a relaxing way to wind down our stay. ⛵️
We never personally met Captain Ergun himself, but we had a fantastic time coordinating the trip through + spending the day with his wife, Merve, and their other young captain. The whole day felt so luxurious and peaceful, and, to us, it was so worthwhile to splurge on the private boat rental. Everything was so peaceful, smoothly run, and felt really considered. Merve even picked up a birthday cake for my partner when I mentioned the trip was to celebrate his belated 30th — which was just so sweet of her!
All of the various swimming spots we stopped at were gorgeous, and we both certainly felt like we got the full day's worth of different locations (and then some). We even saw a turtle! 🐢 Plus, the lunch Merve cooked for us on the boat was genuinely one of the best meals we had our entire trip
Highly recommend; you'll have a lovely time 😊
