I should have simply taken a ferry to Buyukada and saved a lot of time and money. Instead, I wasted 90 minutes from pick up to ferry departure when it would have taken me a maximum of 30 minutes had I done it by myself.
We
The first island, Kinaluada, was a total waste of time. Nothing there. Lost an hour, not including the unnecessary stop.
Buyukada was nice but we only got 2 hours there. Could easily visit for 4 hours.
Lunch was on the ferry. Badly organized, no queue, little servings of salad, rice, pasta and chicken. No drinks. Drinks were over priced - Turkish tea was 50 Lira.
The showstopper was the post tour leather factory fashion show and sales pitch. Wasted another 45 minutes.
By the time we were dropped back to the hotel, it was 7 pm which made it a 10 hour outing with a little over 4 hour benefit.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I expected the tour size to be 30 but there were over a 100 people. Also, the toilet facilities on the ferry was banana republic quality. Awful stink.
