Are there any special costs in Turkey I should be aware of?
Your gulet cruise price is always a combination of this things:
1) Charter price of the gulet: this normally includes rental of a gulet with crew, fuel is also included for around 3 or 4 hours of cruise/day and insurance of clients on board.
2) Food payment: this is usually extra cost and it depends on the clients wishes. In Turkey you can choose between different Full board options (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) from Economy and up to Super luxury menu. This price is calculated as price per person/week and this is also normally paid on spot. Prices vary from 175 €/person/week and up to 490 €/person/week.
3) Drinks payment: in Turkey on most of the gulets you can bring your own drinks on board of a gulet. You buy drinks from supermarket or we make the shopping for you, you pay the bill for drinks and crew will serve you this drinks during the entire cruise.
4) Port taxes: port taxes in Turkey are always included in price. If you decide to go also to Greece and check some islands there, you will have to pay for this extra.
