Marmaris, Turkey

Our first stop in Turkey on this cruise.
I booked highly rated 6 hours boat tour. Really did not know what to expect.
We took first shuttle to the center of the town and then it was only 5 min walk to the meeting place. At 9:03AM mini bus came, picked us up and drove us for 30min to place called Datca. We boarded the boat and realized that all tourists speak some king of language we do not understand. Then all announcements were in Russian. We then talked to one man and they were all from Moldova. That explains it.

The tour was 6 hours in the water. We stopped four times to swim and walk on the shore. It was very nice, there were no other boats around only very loud passengers on our boat.

We got back on the shore at 4:00 PM and after 30 min ride the driver dropped us off at the shuttle stop. We missed shuttle by 30 seconds. The last shuttle came 30 minutes later and we were the last two people boarding the ship.

Quick shower and then wine testing. After which dinner with General Manager of Marina, Laurence Barasse and few other passengers.Read more
