Only to be recommended!!! It rained at first, but then we had sunshine. We headed for three bays and were able to go swimming. On the way back we could even watch dolphins swimming next to the boat and the captain made an extra stop. Food was good too.

The tour with the horses was a very nice experience. Pick-up and return went perfectly. The tour includes a forest tour, spray insect spray on it beforehand. The view is gorgeous. The time of 1.5 hours was enough.

Everything very well organized from the transfer to the ride. A great experience for both children and adults. I rode a horse for the first time and was very enthusiastic. Only to recommend

Relaxed ride through the Kusadasi hinterland on experienced, good-natured horses with a very nice, patient guide. My daughter loved it. Any time!

Everything went very well! I can recommend to everyone! :)
