We had a great time. It's good that there were several programs. The only small problem was that there were several tourist groups on the ship and the program was a bit confusing because of this. It would be good to indicate this somewhere. And register a direct phone number for the organizer on the booking. It does not change the fact that this is really a full-day program with a short but pleasant cruise and a delicious lunch. The bazaar is a real labyrinth and typical Turkish. Overall, we are dissatisfied with everything.

My mum 3 kids (15,12,9) and enjoyed our day on the magnavat river cruise. Stopped off at a nice beach where you could ride Jetski's, bring cash as its hard to find an ATM. There was also guys selling perfumes/aftershaves on the beach and a stall selling pancakes! We had our photos took on the boat with a friendly parrot! The lunch serves was lovely! Then we enjoyed the afternoon shopping in the outlet and markets. Theres also a waterfall stop to get some nice pictured. Ilkem was nice and helpful
