Beautiful day on the water

I contacted Captain Ergun to check on a shared boat tour. He didn't have a group going out, but accommodated me and my wife by arranging a private tour. The day on the water was a perfect way to end our trip. We were given snacks and tea to enjoy as we relaxed and took in the beautiful surroundings. We loved having both swimming destinations all to ourselves. We finished our wonderful day with a stop at Simena Castle. The views from the top were spectacular.
