Perfection!

5.00This was a perfect trip from start to finish! I cannot recommend Chillax enough. Our driver was prompt, vehicle was spotless, and being in such a small group gave us chance to make friends easily. Mehmet was a fabulous guide providing really interesting information on the history of Tlos - an absolutely fascinating site with ruins literally at your fingertips. The waterfall was like something out of a fairytale and the gorge was breathtaking (especially in the cold water!!) The food was delicious and make sure to buys yourself a drink at the small cafe at Tlos (the staff there are so hospitable). It was an experience I will treasure for a lifetime ❤️
I needed Mehmet's help for mostly all the trip with the climbing and walking through the water near the waterfall.

5.00Really good day trip. Mehmet was very knowledgeable at Tlos Ancient Ruins. He was very supportive with helping my Auntie at Gizlikent with climbing the rocks and walking in the water. Lunch was nice and we were part of a small group of 5. The minibus kindly dropped us at the bus station in Fethiye and showed us where to get the bus for Uzumlu. 😁

5.00We were staying in Oludinez for a week. We were amazed by the colourful sight of the paragliders as they filled the sky…. so we thought we’d join in! We booked with Sue at the Chillax desk.She patiently explained everything about the booking and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We returned to Sue to book our next adventure which involved alot of water and mud and was hilarious. Thank you for your care and attention Sue xx
Great Tour With Mehmet.😀

5.00We had a fantastic day out with Chillax Tours. Our guide Mehmet was an excellent storyteller, sharing the history of the ancient Tlos area with stories of mythology and the Greek gods that inspired Lycian temples. We felt well looked-after on the tour, Mehmet checked in to make sure we were coping with the heat ok and found places to stop in the shade and tell stories. We were grateful to have someone guide us through safe passages of the climb up to the top of Tlos and through the Gizlikent waterfall hike. We had a much better experience of the sites for his guidance. We were very comfortable throughout the day, the transport was excellent quality and we made rest-stops with good facilities and kind hospitality. Lunch was taken at Saklikent and was really delicious. I was so glad to choose a small group operator, it made the day really enjoyable and as the name suggests - chill! I would definitely use them again for future tours.
Fun trip

5.00My family had an extraordinary day today on this beautiful tour. We felt like we were in great hands with Mehmet, our superb guide who no doubt loves what he does. He told us a wealth of information of the history of Tlos in such a way that even kept my teenage kids engaged. It was a very active day and we appreciated all the well timed rest breaks in between each destination. I had high expectations from Gizlikent and Sakklikent since I’ve been there 30 years ago. They were still amazing! I’m glad Mehmet guided us since he gave us tips to get us through the challenges leading to the waterfall and gorge in the easiest and enjoyable way possible. I had water shoes but I wish I brought ones with harder bottoms; walking on those rocks through running water got pretty intense so I took it very slow. Glad we all did it though. It was an unforgettable day.
Great Fun but prepare to get damp!

5.00Was a very good day out. We got to see a different side of Turkey than the usual party atmosphere. A scenic and historic trip with lots of interesting information and activities to do. I would definitely recommend bringing shoes you wouldn’t mind getting wet and potentially even swimmers as some of the activities you can get quite wet. Additionally, the gorge at the end isn’t included in the overall price, it’s about 250TL pp so not terrible, but be prepared as the water is freezing. Although we didn’t try it, the rafting at the gorge looked good fun so maybe budget £10/€10pp to do that. Would definitely recommend and do again
Best trip ever
