Great day around the Princess Islands

Alexander_K, Jul 2022

We had a great day on the boat, going for a swim around the Princess Islands, and then having a walk and lunch at one of the restaurants. Very friendly host, flexible and accommodating of the requests. The boat had sufficient space to fit 7 people, both inside and outside.

Great trip, be careful in the restaurant

We were picked up from the hotel on time. On the way we had questions about PCR tests and Yusuf was willing to help. Afterwards we arrived to the yacht. On the yacht, a man and a woman were waiting. They spoke no English but we used google translator and all went fine. They were pretty nice and pleasant. The yacht part was great, the family and I loved it. Around 1:30 PM a guy on a speed boat arrived to take us to one of the islands. At first I thought he was a “guide”, but it turned out he was a guy who knew the people in the restaurant he took us to (i even think he worked there). The people in the restaurant said there is no menu (which was not true coz we saw them later give a menu to the local guests), and they asked us to pick the food. The food was very good, but the bill came with 4670 Turkish Liras ! (around 460 euros, we were 6 adults and two kids). Including 400 Liras for “water and bread”. On top of that, when we said we wanted to pay with a card, they asked us to pay in payments of 900 Liras (which shows it is clearly a fraud). That’s when I said I won’t pay until the police came. I called Yusuf in the mean time, he picked up and said he’d help, and I believe he tried to. Anyways, the guys clearly knew the police officers coz they were laughing and as if they were hanging out, but after insisting from our side, they went down to 3500 Liras, which was somewhat acceptable, given that they clearly have special prices to tourists. However that, wasted all my touring time in the island and had to leave straight after paying. The others loved the island. The guy took us back on the speed boat back to the Yacht, the trip was stressful because there was tension after what happened in the restaurant. The trip back on the Yacht was again great and the guys on the Yacht were very cheerful. On the way back in the car, we discovered that we forgot one small bag in the yacht, and the driver was kind enough to drive back so that we get it. All in all, I would totally recommend it, just be careful with the restaurant part, and ask in advance for some clarification in that regard. Also, insist on getting prices before ordering and be careful about the ridiculous amounts they charge for bread water and service.

İ am Yusuf, company manager. We are working to make our guests happy. We try to solve all problems. I talked with a restaurant. I warn them. I am happy with your final happiness. Thanks, sir.
