Hello Sirma & Dina,
We had a wonderful day exploring Bodrum by water on the Atlas G.
Everything was fantastic, and lunch delicious.
What a refreshing and relaxing way to spend the day.

Many thanks for your guidance.
D&J Darrah, CA, June 2024

We had a great trip. The food was fantastic - thank you Chef Ali! The service was perfect and we were very happy with the crew who were so accommodating. The itinerary was excellent and we really enjoyed Knidos. Sedir Island, Hisaronu and the attention to detail was excellent. Maybe new snorkels and a broader kayak/canoe. Thank you!
A.Robins, Santa Barbara California, Artemis, July 2023

Thank you for arranging a very special night for the boys. Much appreciated.
B. Konner, USA, June 2023 Barka

Delighted with cruise. The captain made sure that we saw all the sites we wanted to see, and arranged as many walks as possible. Knidos was amazing and a great way to end the cruise. Lovely crew and delicious vegetarian food. Couldn't have been better. Very happy!

I don't like yachts, sailing or unpredictability. I don't like hot weather. I don't like foreign countries. I don't like {deleted by webmaster}. My wife hates the sea. Despite my prejudices, and due to circumstances beyond my control, we had an exquisite time on board our gulet. Not sure if I can handle the flight to come back again, but it's sort of a priority.
Anonymous, California , Southern Cross Timer, September 2008

The crew and the boat could not have been more delightful. This was an exceedingly pleasurable vacation. Swimming was beautiful and the water delightful. Food was prepped creatively and was excellent at every meal. A few more historical sites should have/would have!

We are eternally grateful for the care and energy provided by Dave & Dina prior to embarking on our wonderful journey when one member of our party needed urgent medical care. It would never have been possible with the red tape of Europe or the USA.

Still the best holiday I've ever had. We tried it in Croatia but not the same.We tried it in Tahiti just not the same. We'll be back eventually.
