Kumköy: One Couple, Two Different Boat Days

Kumköy is the last area west of Side before the town itself. It is also where we would like to settle a very common holiday disagreement: one of you wants the music, the other wants the sound of nothing.

Short answer

If one of you wants a party and the other wants peace, do not split the difference with a boat neither wants. Book Relax if the quiet one matters most, or a foam-party boat where the quiet one can keep to a corner during the party. A third option is Fishing, which leaves the afternoon free. Pickup from Kumköy is included.

A decision in three questions

Who has been looking forward to this most? A boat day is long, and if one person has been waiting for it all year, that may settle the matter.

Can you spare two days? Separate boat days cost little in planning and solve the problem fully. One Relax day and one Side Boat Tour give each of you exactly what you wanted.

How much of the party can the quiet one bear? On Caretta Bay and Dolphin Island, foam arrives on the way home, so the swimming comes first. The noise is the last act, and you can stand well back from it.

Where the compromise lies

If you wantAnd your partner wantsTry
A party Some swimming Island tour, with two swim breaks
Quiet Food and drink covered Relax
Quiet Something to do Fishing, then a free afternoon
A party To see something ashore Manavgat and bazaar, on a market day

A cost to bear in mind

Relax and Fishing sit at the top of the prices list. Relax covers lunch and drinks in that figure, while Fishing covers breakfast and tackle, but no lunch. So the comparison with a cheaper foam boat should take into account what you would otherwise buy on board.

Questions

Before you ask us

Can the two of us go on different tours on the same day?
Yes, as separate bookings, and each is collected according to its own schedule.
Is Kumköy close enough to walk to the boat?
Do not plan on that. Your booking includes a transfer, and we confirm where and when it collects you.
