Watching the sun go down while sipping your wine is breath taking.

My fiancé and I visited Karnas Vineyards on our trip to Bodrum and would highly recommend. It’s a fair journey to get there, but the views and the quiet away from the Bodrum bustle are so worth it! The food was delicious and locally sourced, with well paired wine which was served generously. The staff were lovely, very personable and made this an experience! Top tip: Book direct with Karnas Vineyards to get a much better rate.

As someone who has been going to the Istankoy since I was a lot younger, I can say the boat trips have always been a good one to remember, catering to all. Stunning views with lovely stops along the way. As a now older person I can also say its great value for money too????. Everyone there just wants you to have a great time and will do anything they can to support that. One of my most treasured memories is a day upon that boat with my whole family. Would 100% recommend. Look forward to coming back ???? Oh! And the food is FAB.

Be aware that you have to pay for use of water guns. We were not told this when purchasing tickets. We spent too much time on breaks (45 minutes each time) in fact, more time was spent in total on breaks than actual jeep ride.
