My wife and i decided to book on the Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour that we had found at www.greecturkeytours.com after seeing many great reviews from others. What grabbed our attention of the Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package was the fact that we could do two style holidays in one trip and the fact that we could jump onboard a old fashioned wooden style turkish boat sounded idyllic. This first part of our 11 day Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour was spend exploring the wonders of turkey on land, We spent 2 days in Istanbul, 2 days in Cappadocia, 2 days well almost 3 days in Antalya and then ended with 3 days fethiye cruise. The days we spent on land were assisted by a wonderful tour guide called fezo who had a really great vast amount of knowledge on every hotspot, the best part of our Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package was the actually cruise part as it was so nice to kick back and unwind under the sun and sail along clear blue waters. Ideal choice of a holiday for those that want to explore and unwind, discover ruins and history on land but then spend time just pure relaxing. Wonderful trip!Mr Ashley porter 2018-12-04
What a perfect trip i have just got back from and really opened my eyes to the beauty within Turkey! We visited Turkey on a Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour as the idea of the package was a really interesting concept, we loved the idea of been able to do alot of sightseeing and discovering of Turkey while also having the chance to end our time with relaxing on deck of a gulet boat under the Turkish sun. The whole Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour was put together perfectly from start to end, all pick ups / transfers / hotels / tours and staff were brilliant especially our tour guide Yeliz so a big thankyou to her for sharing her knowledge with us in great depth but also for her hospitality. We are so glad to have found www.greeceturkeytours.com and having the chance to join on their Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour. Strongly recommended.Miss Danielle Law & Mr Phillip Boston 2019-01-18
My partner and i booked our places on Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package tour after alot of searching online, we found this Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & Fethiye cruise package with a tour company called www.greeceturkytours.com. Our trip was booked and organised with a lovely man called vedat, he was so helpful, reliable and had great patience as we did ask alot of questions. He sorted everything for us so the whole experience was a stress free ordeal. Nothing of our Istanbul - Cappadocia - Antalya & fethiye cruise package was a problem infact it really was a smooth sail, the hotels and accomodation on the boat was impeccable, the transfers and internal flights were all on time, the tours were filled with exciting places to see and made the tours more incredible was by having what we have to say is one of the best tour guides we have ever met, Burak was friendly / accomodating / knowledge and extremely intelligent that we loved chatting with him and quizzing him on a various amount of subjects. To add in a 3 day cruise at the end of this package is a wonderful idea as its perfect to reminise of the exploring you do at the beginning but really have the chance to unwind. Great service, great job and absolutely shall be booking again in the future.
