Search for gulets
Traveling anywhere for a holiday when you have children is a hard feat in itself. You want to know if the location is appropriate, the weather not too hot, the entertainment not boring. It’s no different when booking for a family gulet cruise around Turkey. You want to ensure the food is suitable for your children and that they have plenty to do.
Below you can find an insightful program, perfect for groups that have small children. Here you can find out what to expect on a gulet cruise and if it will suit your needs.
Before booking a cruise, you can get some useful advice and tips below:
1. Organize a structured itinerary, filled with safe places for swimming and snorkeling – all the great stuff kids love to do!
2. Consider booking full board on your cruise (this includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner) – this makes mealtimes easier and less stressful waiting around in taverns and restaurants inland.
3. Choose a gulet that has a large salon and TV – great for lazy days or if the weather is not good for swimming.
4. Book a gulet that doesn’t go out into the open sea – pick one that will stay close to coasts and bays, as the water is safer here for swimming and playing.
5. Check the equipment the gulet provides – canoes and snorkeling gear is a must if your children love to explore!
6. Try to seek out those gulets where the crew are child-friendly, as they will be great with them and give them lots of things to do.
7. Consider the chefs. Children tend to not like sea food and local specialty dishes – check the chef onboard will be flexible in terms of types of food they serve.
