“This is a nice excursion, and Meti is a knowledgeable guide. However, you should be aware that the second half of the trip is a “forced” shopping visit to carpet and leather makers. While the products are high quality, it is awkward for those who just thought they were going to some ancient ruins.”

However, we didn’t visit the sunken boat (because of the weather) - we went to a different swim place instead. And although we did visit the blue lagoon we didn’t feel like we really saw it because the boat anchored so far away ( maybe because of the size of the boat?). We enjoyed the stop at Solta.”
