Great trip! - All was delivered as promised, we received instructions about the meeting the day before, all went as planned. We were a big group, so it was a little hard for one guide to navigate so he had to scream a lot at people who were too fast or those who were too slow. It would be easier with two guides. The sunken city itself is hardly visible while water is choppy but we saw a lot of ancient ruins over and under water. The guide explained everything the best he could and answered all questions. We were not rushed, we had enough time to swim, visit the Castle.

Kayaking - As a family of four we went out on a sea kayaking trip with Yaşar today. Could not recommend highly enough. Yaşar ensured we were all safe at all times and provided good instruction while also making it fun. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and was happy to answer questions. Lots of swimming breaks, and breaks for ice cream and lunch was delicious! Yaşar also took a lot of amazing photos which we bought but there was no pressure to do so.

Change of scenery and pleasure! - Magnificent day of kayaking, swimming, goat's milk ice cream, discovery! And as we were only 4 couples, we were able to get to know each other and it was very friendly.

Very impressive adventure 🚣🏽‍♂️🧜🏽 - Unfortunately, we had a different time in our booking confirmation (08:30) and wanted to be there even earlier, which is why we waited an hour for our guide to arrive. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes until the tour started (09:15). Also the price-performance ratio is inadequate compared to boat tours, as these are significantly cheaper. The boats passing by sadly reduce the enjoyment. The guide Umut translated quite well, and his cousin during the stopover in Kaleköy was also very accommodating. In between, after consultation, nice photos were taken of us, which we were later able to buy at a relatively high price (11 pictures, 2 videos for 300 TL). The view and the experience were wonderful and unique. There was also a vegetarian alternative for lunch. Thanks for that really impressive Experience!

Sea kayak - Our toor was completely amazing. Wanna thanks to SailNStay family for perfect assistance. Mr Ibrahim facilitate our travel from Kalkan to Üçagiz in the morning to start the tour. And Salim was perfect and sincere guide for the sea kayak. Kayaking in the middle of the Meditarrenean and awesome bays absolutely unforgettable. Will do again.

Fantastic experience - Due to restrictions, it was not allowed to swim near the sunken city. The tour was more about kayaking than seeing the sunken city underwater. It was my first time doing kayaking so 9.5 km was quite intense but I succeeded.
