Долго, нудно и не соответствует ожиданиям Long, boring and not up to the mark

Initially, the guide promised that we would come along the picturesque river to the place where blue crabs live, catch them, then they will cook them for us, we will eat them. After that, we will go to the beach with turtles, where there is a volunteer center and these turtles are treated. And that almost literally we will swim next to them. In general - a divorce ...We drove from Kusadasi. Early check out at 4 am. We traveled by bus for a long time. Here we drove, drove, drove (((then a very meager breakfast at the gas station, like 1 egg, 2 slices of bread, 1 piece of tomato and 6 olives, margarine (not butter) for bread ...and instant coffee. Then we drove again. . . Then we got into primitive boats, like Vietnamese ones, and went again. Along a terribly muddy green river and thickets of reeds. Yes, we drove past rocks with tombs carved into them. Yes, it's beautiful. But this is about 2% of the time out of all spent Some of them even managed to sleep in those boats, because we were driving for more than 2 hours.
Then we sailed to a crab farm, where about 6 crabs swam in impromptu pools, supposedly to look at them. And order a dinner of crabs for $8!! ! . Well, we didn't order.

Let's go further, on the same creepy boats. We arrived in the thickets, where they actually caught and released crabs. Well, that's it. The crabs are lured there, quite small, smaller than the palm of your hand. Next - brought to the beach. There was no center with volunteers, or they didn't show it to us, just as there were no turtles. The beach is beautiful, but something stung me in the water and my impressions fell into minus in general. Then they got into the boat and 2 people from 36 e, those who ordered crabs, began to try to eat them. Trying - because no one ate, not tasty, dry and hard meat, picking out which from the armor with dirty hands is still something else. Then the captain of the boat began to yell that a turtle was swimming, and threw out these half-eaten crabs to her.
In general, instead of swimming with turtles, we saw her alone from afar in the muddy water of the Dalyan River (not in the sea) and then, briefly.

Then we sailed for lunch (not a buffet, but normal). Then to the bus, to the curative mud. Time to wash, smear, wait 10 minutes and wash off the dirt + their store = gave 40 minutes. Then they dragged us on the bus to the liquor store, where we had an hour!! ! tried to hand over fruit wine for 35 dollars))) Then again we drove for a long time and arrived at the hotel not at 19-30, but at 21-15. Hungry, angry, tired. We were late for dinner, but the guide arranged for food at the hotel (and thanks for that). In general, for $ 65 they drove us all day - they dragged us either by bus or by boat, we didn’t really see turtles, and in terms of price / expectation ratio, it all turned out to be almost a minus. A whole day was spent, which we would have spent with great pleasure free of charge in a hotel on the sea.

I do not recommend at all.
