Waste of money

elizabeth_k, May 2022

Food was sub-par at best, they offered dessert for a price afterwards. All the (again sub-par) entertainment came around to the tables aggressively soliciting tips. With the fishing interior lights it was impossible to see sites outside. More of a tacky wanna-be Turkish nightclub.

Response from Host, May 2022

Hi dear Elizabeth . I strongly disagree . There is a Turkish night program , when we watch the outside from inside the boat , there are only lights . But if you went to the top of the boat and saw it, you could easily see it so you could take pictures. We give our meals, soup, meatballs, chicken, plav, salad and appetizer plate for 1 person, if it's not enough, you could ask again. Folklore shows are cultural dance shows , not brutal , please show some respect . Thank you for being our guest.

Muy buena experiencia ver un poco de esa experiencia religiosa. La música y el que canta van creando el clima hasta completar la experiencia la concentración al extremo y trance de los derviches. Tiene gran solemnidad.
