Love the cruising experience despite the wintry weather. The duration fitted perfectly into our schedule as it's not too long. The service counter's hot sahlep kept us warm and we had enough space on the upper deck to view the beautiful scenery and feed the gulls and then came down to the lower deck to keep warm. The tickets weren't too expensive, making this a memorable experience to recommend to our friends & loved ones. Thank you for the lovely afternoon cruise - will definitely be back someday!

The experience turned out to be just as described, with beautiful views all along the way. Choose the audio guide option, and be careful not to be late! (The boat leaves early)
