Hi, just finished watching your video. Made me exhausted by the end 😂. Is it cheaper or worth it taking the Havaist especially if one has decent amount of luggage? We are going to be staying close to Vezneciler. So trying to figure out our options with all the luggage we'll have with us. Taxi will be our last resort.
