Archaeologists believe it was the location of the original tomb of Saint Nicholas. The original Turkish name is Gemile meaning camel, so called because of its geographical shape.

Best 30th Birthday present ever!! - I booked this for my 30th birthday and it was AMAZING!!! ISMAIL THANK YOU SO MUCH he made the experience!!
It started off great and I really appreciate they had a cute biscuit/cake and sang happy birthday which was really sweet.
Then we were ready to fly. I went in April and the weather was extremely windy BUT ismail was kind enough to give 2 warm comfortable jackets (don’t know why I didn’t think to wrap up before this). He also waited until it was safe before flying but he knew I was really keen and excited so we waited and then were able to go. He is very knowledgeable so he knows exactly the right moment and all about the wind direction etc which meant for a soft safe landing (which I noticed other pilots weren’t doing!)
I highly suggest buying the 360 picture options as Ismail transferred 100s of photos & some 360 ones which were really cool!
Thank you once again to Ismail and his team.
Tips for flying
- wrap up warm with a few jackets and something comfortable
- tie up your hair

Great way to explore Oludeniz from the water! - Great trip! We were on a smaller boat which seemed to be a much more relaxing option than the pirate ships, and it had plenty of cushioned loungers on the top deck (both sun/shade options). There were around 40 people total but it didn’t feel particularly cramped. The trip took us to islands around Oludeniz for swimming, St. Nicholas Island/ruins (bring good walking shoes!), and finally butterfly valley (although only saw one butterfly-but a really neat cove only really reachable by boat). Provides lunch, alcohol (full bar) is extra and can be purchased on board. Agree with prior comments about being subjected to lots of cigarette smoke and paying extra for french fries at lunch + entrance to butterfly valley, but overall was a great day for a reasonable price!

A vintage guide for a vintage experience - The whole day was a delight made more enjoyable by the irrepressible enthusiasm of our guide Daniella - such knowledge and enthusiasm should be bottled like the great growths we tasted. Great picnic lunch and a small friendly group added to the enjoyment. Something that any visitor to Bordeaux must do as it is the essence of the wine culture of the region.

Go to Oludeniz - We stayed in Oludeniz, busy enough nightlife was great, the locals can’t do enough for you. Lots of hidden gems so research before you go. I missed it but the cable car ride to the top of the mountain looked awesome. If you book in one of the shops in town you can paraglide at the world’s best centres for around £50
Food and drinks where a little cheaper than UK
Overall I would definitely visit again

Beautiful boat tour around Ölüdeniz - Perfect tour, beautiful places and nice crew.
You can swim and enjoy the wonderful sceneries.
I found it pretty good for the price.
Far from the loud music and awful atmosphere. It’s cosy, chill with a lot of time to enjoy the different places.

highly recommended - amazing experience, staff was very friendly, the views were spectacular and we went to more islands than written in the description so that was great as well, they also sell snacks on board, food was good, it’s clean and the pickup service was very helpful and overall I highly recommend it.

Great boat trip - Picked up from our hotel on time which was one of the furthest from Fethiye. Arrived by bus to Ölüdeniz where the boat departed from. Plenty of room on board to sit on the top deck or sunbathe, below bench seating and tables. Food, drinks, alcohol and ice cream available plus chicken or fish served with your dinner (included) with our purchase. Great coves, swimming and adventure, it was a long day but worth it. Many thanks to the crew 🤩

The most beautiful place in... - The most beautiful place on the whole tour is Butterfly Island, but if you don’t dive or swim the remaining dull weather. Good fish. Keep in mind that they take photos and then sell them to you at 5€ each photo!
