TURKEY GULET YACHT

A gulet is a classic wooden, motorized, and sailing boat that is perfect for long sea voyages and close-to-land cruises.

Traditional Turkish gulets are made-to-order boats that skilled artisans construct from wood. Because they provide a very comfortable cruising experience, gulets, often referred to as motor sailboats, are perfect for coastal excursions and lengthy sea cruises.

We are aware that the first gulet construction began in Turkey’s Bodrum region. However, production is also taking place in Bozburun, Marmaris, Fethiye, and Istanbul as a result of the expanding market and demand.

Types of Gulets

Gulet: The gulet is the most well-known traditional yacht design for Blue Cruise. The dining table and seating area are located at the back of the gulets.

There is typically a sofa and enough sun pillows out front for everyone. The entrance to the cabins is through this hall, which features a dining table according to the size of the gulet and an interior hall.

The yacht’s round stern causes the guest quarters to be in the front, while the aft side is typically used as the technical area. The ability to sail is marginally superior to that of Aynakic gulets.

The AFT parts of Aynakic gulets are not round, as they are in gulets, but rather are in a structure with raised corners, which is a key characteristic that sets them apart from ordinary gulets.

They typically use this space for the suite room, or what we would refer to as the “master cabin.” All other details are the same as for gulets, with the exception of this characteristic.

Tirhandil is the oldest local wooden boat type with a pointed stern and the best-suited wooden yacht for sailing. Today, the equipment has changed from sloop to lifeboat and from sail to sail; the majority of them are three-corner sails.

They do not construct them on particularly lengthy decks, often between 15 and 25 meters, like other kinds. The same standards apply to their cabins. If you like sailing, this is the best option.

Accommodation on Gulets

Traditional Turkish gulets have evolved in appearance over time. A modern gulet today resembles a high-end floating hotel and can be anywhere between 15 and 55 meters (50 and 180 feet) in length. Gulet length and passenger capacity are not inversely related.

A 20-meter gulet, for instance, might contain three guest cabins or six. The cabins must be smaller in order to accommodate additional cabins of the same size. But in general, taller gulets make up vessels with six or more multi-cabs.

Every cabin on gulets of different shapes and sizes was created with the needs of the passenger in mind, including a bed, wardrobe, separate shower, and toilet.

However, extra comfort amenities like sofa sets, dressers, work desks, and jacuzzis are also available, depending on the size of the rooms and the level of luxury of the boat. There are separate cabins for personnel in the guest cabins.

Gulet Passenger Safety

On gulets, the welfare of the passengers comes first. As a result, each gulet contains numerous fuel and clean water tanks. Additionally, it features a complete set of navigation and safety equipment, including life jackets, fire extinguishers, GSM phones, and VHF radios.

All of these safety precautions and modern technologies prevent any potential emergency and enhance your seaside vacation.

Types of Gulet Charters

Private yacht charter: When you charter a gulet, the entire vessel—along with its crew—is yours for the duration of the rental period. Within the parameters outlined in your rental agreement, you are free to take any route during the rental term.

And you are not restricted to any set timetable; you can plan your vacation however you like. You can purchase our ready-made menu packages and avoid sticking to a typically restricted menu, just as you can shop for your rations.

Renting a private gulet is the perfect choice if you want to spend a luxurious vacation at sea with your family or enjoy the sea and entertainment with close friends.

For a trip you won’t forget and wish to repeat, choose from traditional, classic, luxury, or ultra-luxury yacht charter options to suit your needs and experience.

Cabin rentals : On a shared tour, one or more cabins may be rented. The schedule for the route, lunch times, and meal components remain the same.

The purpose of in-cabin trips, which they typically arrange on classic gulets, is to experience the spirit and joy of the Blue Cruise rather than taking a vacation on a luxury yacht. Let’s say you can’t organize enough groups to rent a private gulet or you go over your budget.

Then, a cabin rental could provide you with a relaxing blue-tour vacation. Renting a cabin will help you make the most of your vacation by allowing you to cruise in style, widen your circle of friends, and meet new acquaintances on the boat.

LUXURY GULET YACHT CHARTER

Where else can you enjoy the peace and quiet of the Blue Sea, which has everything you need to make up for the weariness of the whole year? In the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean, where there are “Blue Weeks” that never end and warm seas, you can have a great vacation.

Bluetourturkey.com has helped people for a long time. Many of our guests come back every year to see more of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Maybe you’d like to come back and try something new. Nature gives you a great temperature, a calm sea, a lot of history and culture, and delicious food.

During the day, you can walk between boats along the coast and stop in different bays. At night, you can stay in a very quiet bay where no one else is. You can drink something cold and watch the sun go down. Or, if you want, you can tie up your boat in a busy port and enjoy the holiday mood of the people there.

Places like the blue coast of Turkey, the Greek islands, and the eastern shores of the Adriatic, Croatia, and Montenegro are also options.

For tourists looking for the sun, Turkey is very famous. Regular regional flights to international airports in southwest Turkey have made this place very easy to get to. A lot of people also visit places like Bodrum, Marmaris, Fethiye, Gocek, and Antalya during the long summer months. Each of these places is an area that can be part of the boat rental program.

Local tour operators, especially those from other parts of Europe, have a strong interest in the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. The great thing about a gulet rental vacation is that you can visit some of these islands. Rhodes, Symi, and Kos all have ports that are close to the Turkish shore. These are great islands for people who want to see places in both areas. Between the Greek islands in the west and the many Greek islands in the north, you can mix and match a lot of different options.

Let’s say you have to choose between two routes that are very different. In that case, you can get more information about each area by getting in touch with us.

The Mediterranean bliss that is gulet diving in Turkey

13 December 2021 14 minutes

With 8,000km of coastline, a perfect Mediterranean climate, great visibility, fascinating historic wrecks and a growing number of marine parks, it is no wonder that Turkey is fast becoming a destination scuba divers want to explore. Get away from it all on a liveaboard, discover deserted sandy coves from traditional sailing boats, or visit chic resorts and enjoy bustling bars and restaurants at night with some great boat diving during the day

Renting a gulet charter.

Turkey is the perfect spot for a family holiday that allows you to sneak off for a few challenging dives while the non-divers can chill out on the beach and have fun. It is also an ideal place to learn to dive – warm, calm waters and great value for money, with well-run schools and dive centres.

There are lots of dive centres in most resorts and they are run to strict government-set regulations – foreign visitors can only dive with registered centres whose boats must meet the highest standards.

While diving is all year round, the main season runs from May until November, with water temperatures ranging between18ºC and 26ºC.

Traditional gulets and custom-built dive boats provide the perfect platform to explore the often protected waters. These large, spacious and well-equipped vessels, complete with sun decks, have the capacity to carry in excess of 30 divers, and some of the newer vessels even more. In practice, numbers normally remain well below this figure, leaving more than ample room to kit up or prepare photographic equipment.

Diving conditions are excellent throughout the diving season from April to November with visibility up to 30m. The underwater landscape is typically a varied selection of reefs, walls, drop-offs and caverns. Marine life is less abundant than in tropical seas but includes grouper, rays, moray eels, turtles and octopuses. Observant divers may be able to catch a glimpse of seahorses in some areas and there are lots of nudibranchs. Many sites also shelter amphorae and other pottery remains.

There is a large number of wrecks around the Turkish coast, both ancient and modern – many are protected by law. Some have been sunk on purpose to give divers novel adventures – exploring a Dakota that looks as if it about to take off on an underwater runway is an experience not to be missed!

Book your Gulet trip to Turkey 

For many people Gallipoli is synonymous with the First World War battle that took place on the peninsula in 1915, in which Allied powers launched a naval attack and landing that was repelled and after eight months led to an Allied withdrawal. But the history and importance of this peninsula extends ways beyond the First World War, stretching back to the Ancient Greeks and the Romans. Today it’s an altogether more peaceful place and protected as a Turkish National Park. Much of the tourism centres on the First World War memorials, with 40 Allied war cemeteries located in this part of Turkey. For divers, the obvious attraction is the many shipwrecks – between April 1915 and January 1916 several hundred ships and boats sank in the coastal waters between Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay on the western side of the peninsula. To date, the locations of 216 wrecks have been discovered. While some cannot be dived – for instance, two of the battleships sit at a depth of 80-90m in an area that is busy with shipping traffic – there are several that are regularly dived.

HMS MAJESTIC

This British battleship was torpedoed by a U-boat at Cape Helles in May 1915 with the loss of 49 men and sank in Morto Cove, where the wreckage now lies with its stern on the sand at 29m and its bow at a depth of 18m. Schooling fish including bream and dentex have made the ship their home, secure in the wreck’s interior which cannot be penetrated by divers. Although some parts of the wreck were dismantled in the 1960s, plenty remains to interest the visiting diver, including a barnacle-encrusted cannon and the crow’s nest some 10m away.

Lighters were sheet iron boats that were used by the British to land infantry troops and carry provisions. Many of them were sunk during storms and by gunfire in the First World War, and several now rest at diveable depths. There are two examples in Morto Cove, both of them at 30m and only a few metres apart. One of the wrecks was carrying a steam boiler, which now lies on the nearby sand, and both attract schools of leerfish – large silver fish that are seemingly unafraid of visiting divers.

The ex-trawler, HMT Lundy sits at a depth of 28m in Suvla Bay, and remains in good condition despite its age. A support vessel during the campaign, the boat was sunk by torpedo in 1915 and is now home to a very different cargo than the one it was originally intended for – octopus, lobsters, conger eels, scorpionfish and small schooling fish can be found amid the war supplies and ammunition. Much of the wreck is now encrusted with sponges and inside there are shoals of bream and gobies.

THE STEAMSHIP

Not far from the Lundy, near Büyük Kemikli headland, is the wreck of a steamship that is most notable for its armoured steam boiler, which is now in three sections, having exploded when the ship sank. Its location near the shore and its maximum depth of 15m make it an excellent dive, even for relatively inexperienced divers.

Like so many other coastal tourist centres, Bodrum began life as a sleepy fishing village before catching the attention of visiting Europeans in recent times in search of sun and sand. Today this port on Turkey’s Aegean coast receives more than one million visitors a year, yet still retains a traditional feel with whitewashed buildings and ancient ruins providing an aesthetically pleasing authenticity.

The centre of the town is around the harbour, where St Peter’s Castle towers above narrow streets that are packed with bars and restaurants. The castle was built partially with stone from the nearby Tomb of Maussollus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and today houses the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Although the Bodrum peninsula covers an area of approximately 650 square kilometres, and has a coastline some 174km long, the main tourist resorts are found along the southern coast at places such as Gumbet, IÇmeler and Bitez. On the western side of the peninsula, you’ll find excellent beaches at Turgutreis and Gűműsluk, which offer a number of watersports including scuba diving.

Life underwater is varied, with Bodrum’s interesting topography providing a number of different types of diving, including wrecks, caverns and reefs. At several of the sites, ancient amphorae remain scattered on the sea bed and there is a good mix of fish life, including schooling barracuda and damselfish and several types of wrasse and grouper. There’s a decent chance of an encounter with both octopuses and lobster, and in between spotting marine life you can take advantage of some of the diverting tunnels and swim-throughs.

BIG AND SMALL REEF

These two reefs between Bodrum and Black Island are separated by only 200m. The reef walls are packed with fish life and extend from 5m all the way down to 32m on the south side and 36m on the north. These walls are particularly popular with photographers, who flock to capture images of sponges along with grouper, wrasse, scorpionfish and schooling barracuda and jacks.

PINAR 1 WRECK

This tanker located southeast of Karaada was sunk in 2007 as an artificial reef, and is particularly popular with photographers by virtue of its attractive wheelhouse (where the wheel remains in place), now the home of nudibranchs and tube worms. There’s also a good chance of seeing a number of cephalopods and moray eels. The wreck sits between 18 and 33m, making it perfect for scuba diving.

BUBBLE CAVE

Southwest of Karaada, this boat dive is named after a chimney-shaped cave that can be accessed at 12m. Once inside, keep an eye out for an abundance of fish life, along with crabs, corals and sponges. The bubbles, of course, come from the many visiting divers whose exhaled air ascends through cracks in the cave’s ceiling, all of which make a spectacular sight as you exit the cave via its chimney at 5m.

C47 DAKOTA PLANE WRECK

Further west is the wreck of a Turkish Air Force C47 Dakota plane, which was purposely sunk as an artificial reef in 2008. Storms and currents have shifted the plane around and it is now somewhat broken up, with one wing at 17m, the other at 25m, and the tail at 28m. Nevertheless, the C47 still makes for an impressive dive.

Those able to make the 60 mile or so journey east from Bodrum to Gökova Bay will be rewarded with stunning topside views and memorable underwater encounters. This is a popular site with sailors and was designated a Special Environmental Protected Area (SEPA) in 1988. Among the notable species found in this area are sandbar sharks and Mediterranean monk seals.◊ With a dive season that extends from April through to November, visibility averaging between 20 and 30m, and a variety of dive sites that includes wrecks, reefs, drop-offs and caverns, there is much to recommend the diving in Bodrum. Novices and more experienced divers are well served by several dive centres in the area Diving is on good quality day boats and you can expect to pay £30-£45 for a day’s diving including lunch and two dives, with boats returning around 3pm.

8 Famed throughout Turkey and beyond for the beauty of its Mediterranean coastline, this port city is popular with visiting tourists and has a modern marina, busy harbour and a traditional Old Town. The city is known for its vibrant nightlife and is well served by bars and restaurants. Those in search of a quieter resort might choose to head a few miles south to İçmeler on the Datça peninsula. Wherever you choose to stay, you’ll find the surrounding countryside is an exquisite mix of pine forests and cute coves of shimmering blue – this part of the Turkish Riviera is also known as the Turquoise Coast. Underwater Marmaris is no less attractive, offering excellent visibility and with many of the dive sites in well-protected bays – perfect for some gentle, stress-free holiday diving. Both shore and boat diving is available and the larger centres will offer a range of courses and night dives. As with the diving around Bodrum, expect a variety of sites from caverns to reefs and plenty of opportunities to spot some of Turkey’s ancient amphorae, transported in vast quantities, usually carrying wine or oil.

GOAT ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE

This site next to the lighthouse is perfect for more experienced divers, stretching as it does from a depth of 8m down to 38m. Marine life mingles with broken amphorae. There’s a good chance of seeing big fish drawn in from deeper waters, along with red cardinalfish, plenty of morays and octopus. Keep an eye on nooks and crannies in the reef to spot shellfish, including good-size lobster.

KADIRGA COVE

This site could be renamed ‘amphorae and eels’ such is the prevalence of both on this dive. Opposite the Kadirga Lighthouse and stretching down some 40m, this rocky site is suitable for most level of experience and offers a field of amphorae and, at 15m, the remains of a ship from the Hellenistic age. Amid the amphorae, moray eels are ubiquitous and there are plenty of crabs and shrimps in attendance too.

INCE BURUN LIGHTHOUSE

Located on Yildiz Island, which faces the bay of Marmaris, this site has a maximum depth of 38m and is known for its schools of leerfish and bream. Coloured sponges clothe the site and there is a good chance of seeing several species of nudibranch.

As you’d expect from a significant resort such as Marmaris, there are plenty of dive centres to choose from, many offering a full range of courses along with daily diving. The centres will pick you up from your accommodation.

Oneof the most beautiful spots on the Lycian coast, there are pine-clad mountains, secluded bays, pretty villages and ancient ruins. The area is made up of several holiday areas: the main town, Ölűdeniz with its stunning Blue Lagoon, Hisarőnű and its quieter neighbour Ovacik. The town was formerly known as Makri and was renamed Fethiye in 1934 in honour of Fethi Bey – a famous Turkish Air Force pilot. The old city (Paspatur) is a great place to wander around – enjoy a coffee in one of the small squares, check out the fish market (Balik Pazar), or buy some spices in the weekly open market. Fethiye is very popular with tourists and is an ideal base to mix a family holiday with diving. Non-divers can enjoy the safe and fun beach activities around the protected Blue Lagoon or take the 40-minute trip by coach to the Saklikent Gorge, which at 20km long is the second-largest gorge in Europe and a fantastic spectacle. Meanwhile, scuba divers can experience some of the best underwater adventures that Turkey has to offer. Dives range from shallow calm reefs to caverns, walls and dramatic drop-offs, tunnels and swim-through arches coated in soft corals. Don’t miss out on the excellent night dives.The night dives are a great opportunity to spot octopuses, shrimps and lobsters. During the day expect to see groupers, moray eels, jacks, barracuda and cuttlefish with the occasional turtle. Also, if you are really lucky, rays and dolphins can be spotted. Remember to have a close look at those patches of sea grass for peacock flounders, gurnards and seahorses.

THE TCSG-121

This is an old 40m-long coastguard ship that sits at 27m. The wreck is next to a reef that is rich in marine life, with plenty of moray eels and some very large grouper which have set up home in the purposely sunk diving attraction. It is possible for experienced divers to penetrate the wreck with access points at the rear and through two engine bays, and you can look around the crew’s living quarters and come up onto the bridge.

SARIYARLAR BAY

You start off at a deepish cavern (29m) and you can pick out hundreds of resident shrimp with your torch before you head off for a 100m swim to a wonderful, wide tunnel which surfaces in a freshwater enclosed cave that is surprisingly chilly. Look out for octopus in the rocks before you enter the tunnel.Red IslandThe sea bed here forms a natural amphitheatre at 20m – bring your torch to enjoy the full colour of the sponges. Lots of large, and friendly, grouper.

AMPHORAE BAY

An ancient Roman amphorae site that dates back to 300 BC. The slope plunges down to more than 60m, with two large rock outcrops – the deepest at 30m. Lots of marine life, including crayfish, octopus and grouper.Three TunnelsWith a maximum depth of 36m and some buoyancy-testing passages to negotiate, this boat dive is more suited to intermediate and experienced divers. The three tunnels have been created by cracks in the rock and need to be entered and exited in single file.

ALADDIN’S CAVE

This unique dive takes you to a cavern at 29m. where divers can view delicate colourful corals and the resident grouper. After a few minutes you ascend to 12m and then fin to another cavern known as the ‘hammam’ where natural light falls through two openings in the ceiling.

This is a great spot to learn to dive with highly respected schools. The schools offer a full range of PADI courses, from try dives for complete beginners, right up to learning to be a diving instructor, and the standard of instructing is high. The diving is from comfortable day boats, often with Turkish crews and international dive masters and instructors. Expect to pay £30 to £45 for a full day’s diving (two or three dives plus lunch on board). A night dive costs around £25.

12 Located in Turkey’s south-western Antalya Province, the picturesque hillside town of Kas is a two-hour drive from Dalaman Airport, with the route’s latter stages taking in some spectacular scenery along the Turquoise Coast. Considered by many native divers to offer some of the country’s finest diving, Kas remains something of a hidden gem to outsiders but it is increasingly becoming better known. The Kas archipelago has more than 30 recognised dive sites, most lying within a 30-minute radius of the harbour itself including reef, wreck and sites of historical value. The light-coloured sand and volcanic rock formations provide the area with a unique identity. Expect clear, warm water and some spectacular underwater scenery. There’s plenty of marine life to see, particularly in comparison with other Mediterranean destinations. Look out for amberjack, barracuda, Mediterranean octopuses, several species of ray, trumpetfish, seahorses, moray eels, grouper, turtles and more turtles! While Kas makes the perfect destination for relaxed diving and lots of the ‘pretty stuff,’ italso offers more challenging diving for those that want it. There are plenty of deeper dives and several naturally-occurring wreck sites, although some of the latter do lie a little deeper than recreational limits permit.

DAKOTA PLANE

This enormous cargo plane was sunk at a very diveable 22m as an artificial reef in 2009 and is now covered in a lightly-coloured algae. It’s a hugely popular dive, not least with photographers, who love the chance to shoot the relatively rare sight of an underwater plane.

THE DIMITRI

This cargo vessel ran aground on the islet of Kovan Adasi in 1968 and offers a 20m descent down a narrow crevice known as the Canyon, which is covered in colourful growth. The wreck itself is a twisted mass of metal, the result of a salvage operation that involved the use of dynamite, but it remains a fascinating dive.

This former Turkish Coastguard vessel was scuttled in 2011 to provide an artificial reef. It came to rest deeper than planned and now sits at 40m on a flat, sandy bottom. The reef itself begins at around 15m and the wreck sits upright, with the deck around the 35m mark. It has a substantial covering of growth including large spiral tube worms. Small fish patrol the wheelhouse, while inside the wreck you can see saddled bream.

Camel Reef is a small reef marked by two large humps in 14m that give the site its name. Strong currents can often sweep through the area but they are worth the effort as the second reef in the deeper water to the south-east provide encounters with some decent-sized and friendly grouper.

PIGEON ISLAND

A sheltered site popular for training but still with plenty to recommend it for any diver, Pigeon Island has an old wooden wreck, amphorae and the artificial wreck of a never-completed sheet metal vessel. The shallows provide ample opportunity to observe fish life and see an underwater-sculpted facsimile of a full-size shark.

Two small islands form the basis for this relatively shallow dive with a maximum depth of around 24m, providing a pleasant scenic dive. Either island may be circumnavigated and on offer are sea grass, turtles and the skeletal frame of an unknown wreck.◊ Due to the close proximity of the dive sites it’s normal practice to carry out two dives in the morning, leaving the rest of the day free to explore the surrounding area, spend time with family or take up the option of an afternoon dive, according to demand. Expect to pay between £30 and £40 for two morning dives.

With its broad beaches and warm climate, Antalya is another exquisite jewel in Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, attracting large numbers of visitors every year. In the centre of the city you’ll find Kaleici, also known as Old Antalya, the small historic old town that was originally Roman before being occupied by the Byzantines and then the Ottomans. There are three resort areas: Antalya and Belek, which offer beachfront hotels and lots of entertainment and beach-based sports and activities; Side, where many of the dive sites are centred; and finally, Alanya, which is characterised by exclusive hotels with private beaches, and a good selection of restaurants and cafés around the harbour area. Reefs, wrecks, walls, caves and drop-offs are just some of the types of diving available.

This wreck of a Turkish coastguard boat sits 3km out of Side, where it was sunk as an artificial reef in 2008. It takes 10-15 minutes by boat from Side to get to the 30m-long wreck, which sits at a maximum depth of 25m. The TCSG-117 is home to plenty of schooling fish and some sizeable grouper, which seem habituated to the visiting divers.

PARIS WRECK

Southwest of Antalya near the harbour at Kemer lies this wreck of a freighter at a depth of 25 to 32m. Its depth means it is only suitable for more experienced divers, but it is shotted and makes for an interesting tour, as it was sunk while serving a mission to block the refuelling of German U-boats in 1917. Visibility is usually good and, as well as the wreckage itself, you’ll see a variety of schooling fish and other marine life.

5 Best Sailing Gulets in Turkey

Gulet Sailing is an absolute passion. The guests will enjoy the Blue cruise along the Turkish coast and the Greek islands on these selected sailing gulets to the full and the friendly, professional crew will do all they can to give their guests an rememberable sailing cruise.

There are some gulet guests who would prefer more sailing than motoring on their sailing holiday. And we have to say that while many gulets have sails, there are some rather special gulets which sail, and can really sail; reveling in the glorious silence of motor-less winged flight across the water. These gulets have been refined by their owners and captains into superb sailing craft and their crews trained to match in skilled seamanship. We can match guests to boats for a true sailing experience.

These traditional Turkish sailing gulets are old favourite and a bit nostalgic! They can accommodate from 8 up to 16 sixteen guests, there is plenty of space in the salon and on deck for lazing and sunbathing. The dining table in the salon is opposite of the open kitchen, so serving makes it easy for the two sailors and the cook founds himself in the middle of the events while preparing the delicious dishes. And the dining table outside on the stern is only a few steps away.

The sailing gulet options featured below have been carefully selected by our team. You can click the link of each gulet to check the pictures, learn about rates and read reviews. Choose the best one to sail !

Isn’t it fascinating how such a vessel, deeply rooted in history, can offer an unparalleled modern-day sailing experience? Now, wouldn’t you want to rent one for your next getaway?

Exploring the Charm of Turkey Gulets

Turkey gulets are a unique type of sailing vessel that originated in the southwestern coast of Turkey. These traditional wooden boats are characterized by their wide, rounded sterns and low-to-the-water profile, providing stability and ample space for passengers.

"The Semerciouglu4 is stunning. I had seen the online video but pictures and videos cannot do it justice. This boat is huge but still beautiful and elegant. The deck spaces are very big and the cabins to, with excellent on-suite facilities. Showers great. Semercioglu is the family name of Mehmet, the owner who is the Captain. He and his SIC, Serkan, are very proud of their boat and rightly so. They and the rest of the crew made me feel most welcome and at home. I look forward to meeting them again. Food onboard was lovely, even though this was the first week working on a boat for otherwise experienced chef, Ahmet. Mehmet's daughter, Eda, was charming. I arrived at Fethiye with time to look at all the other Gulets there and at the time did not see one to match it. Highly recommended it".(I have never bothered writing a review before but felt this deserved it)"

Mr Fred Shiress - 12th May 2018

"Firstly I want to thank Diamond Sky Holidays for the smooth running of the trip, everything was booked and worked perfectly on time. We had an amazing time on the boat, I have never been so relaxed on holiday from the not wearing any shoes all week to the comfort of the rooms saying nothing of the food that was cooked by a very special chef"

I swapped my flat for a 5-star all-inclusive hotel in Turkey for one month - here's why I would happily live there full-time (and the things I missed most about the UK)

• Josh Kerr spent 28 days living and working at Port River Hotel and Spa, Antalya
• He said he would happily live there full-time despite missing bacon and Irn-Bru
• READ MORE: Forget hotels, rent an island instead with your own private beach

An employee who swapped his UK apartment for a five-star all-inclusive hotel in Turkey for a month – because he discovered it would be cheaper than his home life in the UK - said he had been 'living a dream' and could happily move there full-time.

Josh Kerr, 24, spent 28 days at the Port River Hotel and Spa in Antalya on a trip that cost £944 compared to the £950 per month he pays for rent and bills at his Manchester pad.

Returning home on Saturday, he said he would trade his flat for permanent hotel living if he could work abroad full-time, despite missing bacon and Irn-Bru in Turkey.

During his stay, the creative strategist worked remotely from the hotel, logging into his laptop in the 'blazing sunshine' and spending his lunchbreaks dipping in the pool, playing table tennis or stopping by the beach for a quick game of football.

'The first few days, it didn't even feel real,' he told MailOnline Travel .

'It's a premium way of living, for such a cheap cost. The fact I didn't have to cook a thing in the past month was amazing. My apartment also doesn't have five pools for me to take a lunchtime dip in. Thinking about it, I need to get myself back to Turkey ASAP.'

Josh said it 'was a sad one' packing for his flight home on Saturday and he didn't want to leave the 20C weather after hearing the rain forecast in Manchester.

The first thing he did when he got home was 'whip up a full English brekkie' as he said 'pork isn't served in Turkey so I was absolutely craving a bit of bacon by the end'.

However, he was anything but lacking in food at the resort where breakfast, lunch and dinner were included in his stay.

'The all-inclusive was amazing, you'd just be able to get anything you want, anytime you wanted it,' Josh said.

'There were so many options that I just kept changing up what I had to eat every day.

However, the best thing was definitely the rotisserie chicken and gravy - made me feel right at home.'

He also adopted a local tradition that he hopes to continue back at home.

'Anywhere I go I always try and embrace the local culture, and in Turkey it's culture to have a Turkish tea after every single meal,' he said.

'By the end of our trip we were drinking that stuff more than the locals, it became part of our routine too. I've already started looking at Turkish tea pots now.'

Josh was invited on the trip by On the Beach after he shared the price of a one-month hotel stay on TikTok and pointed out that it was cheaper than his rent.

Bosses at the online travel agent got in touch and challenged Josh to do it after his clip went viral, racking up more than a million views in 24 hours.

He checked in on February 17 and spent the weekend exploring the area before continuing his normal work routine from the hotel on weekdays.

Describing a typical day of hotel living, he said: 'Every day kicked off with breakfast, a glass of orange juice and then some eggs on toast was my usual.

'But with Turkey being three hours ahead of the UK, I had so many options as to how I'd go about our day.

'I had to work UK hours and flexi-time allowed me to start anytime between 7am and 9.30am, which meant the latest we could start work would be 12.30pm. So some days we'd get up early and go out and explore the local towns and some of their markets. Other days we'd just dive straight into work.

'I'd always be logging into work in the sun, and staying there until my laptop died. It's safe to say anyone on a Teams call with me hated me for the past month as they saw me sitting in the blazing sunshine.'

During the evenings, Josh enjoyed exploring the nearby town of Side, relaxing with a cocktail at the hotel bar and the occasional visit to the hotel's nightclub.

His highlights were having access to 'any food you want any time' - favouring Turkish mezze, bread and dips in particular - and never having to clean his room, thanks to the hotel's daily housekeeping service.

And he was pleasantly surprised by the amount of culture and history in the area, with 'ancient ruins more than 2,000 years old just a 10-minute walk away'.

The only downsides were paying for the hotel's laundry service to wash his clothes and braving the cold water of the swimming pool.

'Because it's wintertime, the outside pools were like an ice bath, so I had to channel my inner Wim Hof,' Josh said.

'But even that wasn't an issue as they had a heated indoor pool if I wanted a quick dip. Another minor problem was that the juices weren't freshly squeezed and were more like cordials – but as I say, very minor.'

The advantage of visiting off-season was that the hotel was 'not too crowded' but 'a nice level of busy'.

Summing up the experience, Josh said it was 'incredible' and that he is already planning his next one-month hotel stay in Vegas.

What's more, he said it's 'fairly accessible to anyone who has the ability to work from anywhere'.

He added: 'You could put your flat or home on a rental site and, given the prices city centre flats go for in the UK, for a weekend stay, you could use this money to pay for your travel.

'If you would keep switching countries every month, it would be amazing. Going country hopping, experiencing different five-star hotels.

'There would obviously be home comforts that you'd miss but you'd make up for it with new cultures to dive right into.'
