Considering the coastal length and beauties of Turkey, yachting is
a joyful and relaxing way of traveling along the coasts. You will not only
have the chance to snorkel and windsurf on secluded beaches, but also see
a side of Turkey which most travelers miss - the small towns and villages
or even ruins of ancient settlements. While the crew is taking care of
sailing and cooking, you have the chance of lounging on the deck under
the sunshine feeling the beauty of the passing scenery. When your boat
anchored you will have the opportunity to water-skiing, skin-diving, fishing,
walking in the woods or shopping in local markets.

The best time of the year to spend your holiday on a "gullet" is :
June and September are hot
enough to tan without burning , ideal mix of sea breeze, salt and sun while
sailing along the shores of Aegean and Mediterranean Sea.
July and August are recommended
months of those who wish to swim any time of day and night, for sun worshippers.
May and October expose that
serene beauty of nature. The silent period of coves and beaches.
Throughout the trip along the costs of Aegean and Mediterranean Sea you will see remains of theaters, markets, churches, rock tombs and towns of Lydian, Lycian, Carian, Ionian, Dorian, Hellenic and Roman civilizations, besides little towns where you will admire the local arts and handicrafts.
Below are the descriptions and prices of gullets and possibilities
of programs which will give you an idea of the blue voyage. Different size
of boats and yachts are available upon clients' requests. You should not
