Reviews & Comments
Turkey Sailing Blue Voyages & Blue Cruises
The only downer was the first night. I assume you know that often they do not leave Bodrum the first night. We got there at one, as we were told. They then said the first event was dinner at about 8! And, since one party was coming in in the evening we would leave the next morning. It was hot and the cabins were hot. The only choice was to sleep on the deck which was great all the other nights, but Bodrum is a volcano of disco noise until 3:30 am. The most miserable night of my recent life when I wasn't deathly ill. Still..we enjoyed it and recommend it.
