Cleopatra Beach. Was a good stop. The other swimming places were all the same nothing spectacular. just a chance to get wet between sun bathing”

Other boat trips will offer very similar experience for less (you don't get more with this on unfortunately)”

10.Marmaris Full-Day Boat Trip with Unlimited Soft Drinks+Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 23 reviews · 7 hours · from $33

Spend seven hours on a Marmaris boat trip with hotel pickup, English and Turkish staff, fish farms at Adaköy, cave visits, swimming at Paradise Island and Turunc Beach, onboard lunch, and unlimited soft drinks. The boat suits families, though extra charges and busy coves are worth noting.

“I’ll start by saying the staff are lovely, nice people. However I was actually super disappointed in this excursion as it’s something we look forward to doing every time on holiday. It was rammed, ALOT of extra charges - ice creams, water melons, chips (lunch was provided but chips are extra) photography was quite expensive. I found it cheeky and awkward they went round asking for money for staff as tips at the end of the trip. The boat itself looks impressive from the outside, however super rundown! The bottom step for the toilet was rotten and my 4 year old slipped and hurt herself on the bottom step. Staff…”
