Skip the crowded Euro summer itinerary and do this instead. Last summer, we had the opportunity to sail along the Turkish Riviera with and had a blast. A Turkish gulet cruise might not be on your couples bucket list, but here are 5 good reasons why you should consider it.
Here’s why it works:
Reason 1️⃣:
Meals are prepared onboard and feel more personal than constantly hopping from restaurant to restaurant. You get a personal chef who makes delicious meals and crew members who bring you snacks, coffee, and drinks whenever you want.
Reason 2️⃣:
You can make the trip slow or active. Some couples want rest, some want adventure. One person can journal on deck while the other jumps in the water. This trip allows both.
Reason 3️⃣:
You still get excursions, culture, and movement. And the great thing about it is you don’t have to plan every activity.
Reason 4️⃣:
It works for couples, families, or groups of friends. You can make it a romantic reset or turn it into the group trip everyone actually talks about for years.
Reason 5️⃣:
It gives you the feeling of a boutique hotel, boat day, and an itinerary all in one. Basically, multiple trips in one week.
Save this if Turkey or a Euro Summer is on your travel list, and send it to the person you’d book this with.
Would you do this as a couples trip or a group trip?
