Loved jumping off the bost at the end of the day after riding in the heat. Pack thermal water bottles if going when its hot.

This tour was incredible from start to finish. The staff was a 10/10, the guide was a 10/10, Food was a 10/10, the outside of the boat was a 7/10, the inside of the boat was a 0/10. Awful. The rooms smelled of gas and mold, quite toxic. The wall was peeling off in the bathroom, no hot water most of the time, shower didn't drain. No mattress covers, no nice bedding - old and gross. Our room was near the generator so the smell of exhaust was terrible, unbearable and toxic the first 2 nights. You guys have to change this. It's not right you make people endure such terrible accommodation, it really takes away from the experience. We would love to recommend this, because everything else was so amazing - but in doing so it comes with a huge warning the rooms are gross and to prepare for the worst.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed so much of your tour. We're so sorry to hear of your negative experience in your cabin. We agree this is totally not acceptable for a comfortable stay. We have decided for the 2024 season and moving forward, we will not be using the Elara 1 to accommodate our guests anymore. Nonetheless I hope you were able to bring home many warm memories of your trip to Turkey!

Elara 1 Central Greek Aegean Sea
Greece, Turkey
The rides were the most memorable, very enjoyable and scenic. However there were a few issues. Disappointed with the bikes, for example the rubber on the pedals were so worn that my shoes constantly slipped on the exposed metal of the pedals. One of the guides switched his pedals with my bike, the guides seemed aware of the problem and it was obvious this issue had been raised before. Our toilet was leaking when we first arrived on the boat and we had quite a bit of water on the floor of the bathroom. Also the generator of the boat was switched off at night making the rooms uncomfortably hot. I don't understand why shore power wasn't utilized.

Most everything was perfect, especially our guide Lars for both trips. Only problem was lack of AC on boat so sleeping not easy.
