Despite the shortcomings, it was a wonderful, unforgettable trip for everyone. The advice, support and organization of the trip by Mr. Okumus was very professional, many thanks for that.

The trip was very relaxed and beautiful. We drove to quiet bays and enjoyed the wonderful nature. The cook spoiled us with freshly prepared Turkish specialties. We were often amazed at what he conjured up in the small galley. There was always fresh fruit and vegetables, sometimes grilled fish, sometimes meat. The entire crew was always eager to fulfill our wishes. Swimming and diving in the crystal-clear sea without large crowds was always possible and fun. Jumping into the water in the morning after waking up or in the evening before going to bed, what could be better? Visiting two ancient excavations or a small village enriched the tour. For the children accompanying us, there was plenty of variety with bana, paddle boat, surfboard and motorboat rides. Diving with the captain was a special experience for 14-year-old Jakob.
Dislike:
After embarkation, there was no greeting or introduction. We cast off without a word and sailed off. We only found out the names of the crew by asking questions. Unfortunately, the night's sleep in the beautiful secluded bays was massively disturbed by the loud power generator, making it very difficult to sleep. After the request to switch off the generator, the air conditioning in the cabins stopped working. This made it so warm and stuffy in the cabins that sleeping became impossible again. We were saved by sleeping on the benches on deck under the stars. This was also a nice little experience. Unfortunately, there were not enough places for all the guests, so we had to take turns. It is highly recommended that the power generator be better insulated to minimize noise. Also, at the beginning of the trip, the crew's loud TV reception in the mess room disturbed our sleep until late at night. Unfortunately, there was not enough sailing. The Giulietta is a beautiful sailing ship, but we only sailed once for about 1 hour at the request of several people, and then only with the foresail. We would have liked to have sailed with full rigging, but it was certainly not possible due to the weak wind.

We ended our week relaxed, very well-fed, nourished by the sun and scenery of Turkey and very satisfied with our decision to choose the Giulietta for our trip.

This is a difficult question to answer as we liked everything. The yacht is well-designed, spacious and has lots of different areas for relaxation. The routes and moorings chosen were diverse and provided a wonderful diversity of experiences of ruins, coastal views, and swimming and snorkelling. The crew were uniquely wonderful: the Captain was highly competent and informative, our deck-hand Aztec looked after our every need and did it with good grace, humour and efficiency. The food prepared by Serkan was excellent and it should be noted that we had 3 vegetarians in our group who were very happy with the very diverse meals presented. It was an extremely successful holiday which we would highly recommend, especially for a group who already know each other.

It was the best holiday we ever had!
Like:
The yacht was comfortable and the crew exceptional and professional, allowing us space and privacy but being supportive.
The food was always fresh, good variety and absolutely delicious.
The route allowed us a combination of swimming, snorkeling, paddling, walking where we anchored and some sight seeing - the ultimate restful holiday.
Dislike:
There was nothing we didn’t like; but if I were to mention one thing - would have preferred to have a flat sheet for warmer nights in the cabin.

The boat is in great condition, very spacious, comfortable rooms. But the best thing was the captain and crew and chef. All excellent.

We liked everything. Carpe Diem 5 is an excellent Gulet. The best Gulet trip we have done. (We've been on six)
Dislike:
I honestly don't have anything negative to say.

We had such a wonderful time, Kaptan Ibrahim and his crew made us feel pampered! That's what a vacation should be! I would definitely book this trip again.
Like:
The crew was wonderful. The food was very good. I appreciated the many stops we made.
Dislike:
The food although very good, was not what I thought was "deluxe" or "premium" for which we paid extra -- except for the one night of very delicious seafood choices -- that was excellent.
I did appreciate the stops we made very much, but sometimes I felt we could have found some quieter coves to actually overnight.
