Are you searching for a motor sailing yacht on charter in Turkey? Could you be considering a yacht charter along Turkey's pine-clad Turquoise Coast? Or are you intending a motor sailing yacht charter in Greece, intending an island-hopping excursion through Greece's azure Aegean? Would you prefer to dine on Turkish mezes? Or on Greek octopus? Or both? How about doing any or all of these things on a motor sailing charter yacht with accommodations for sixteen or more guests. A yacht large enough for you and for everyone with whom you might wish to spend a week. You might charter such a yacht to cruise the pirate haunts of ancient Lycia, a part of coastal Turkey, including coves along the west coast of the Gulf of Antalya which during the first century BCE provided shelter for a maritime Robin Hood named Zeniketes. Or you might charter such a yacht to sail Aydin Reis's tracks along the coast of ancient Ionia and among Greek Dodecanese islands. While you holiday in the company of everyone with whom you might like to spend a week. Or while you holiday with fellow executives or business associates. How about a holiday proceeding leisurely from one remote Greek island to another, from one back-bay to a second. Yes, why not charter a Turkish-flag sailing yacht to cruise Greece. The Cyclades in Greece. Aydin Reis, a corsair or privateer depending on point of view, also known as Catch-The-Devil and as Aydin Caramano, was an Ottoman from Karamania, probably from the aforementioned shores of the Gulf of Antalya. He was also one of the Barbarossa brothers' more capable lieutenants. He cruised the Ionian coast of Turkey and the Cyclades on occasion but earned his place in Ottoman history by overwhelming the cream of the Spanish fleet off Formentera in the Balearics. There in 1529 he captured seven of eight large galleys including the Spanish flagship. He did so without a galley of his own, instead relying on smaller and slower galliots. And tactical skill, of course. Some say the word gulet derives from galley. So why not charter a crewed gulet like Batuhan to cruise through Mediterranean history, not, however, to ignore the coves and back-bays. Starting in Bodrum, perhaps. Are you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? Well, it may be found eleven nautical miles NNE of Kos Town on the Greek island of Kos. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing yacht for an unforgettable holiday. We can put you aboard a charter gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the Ceramic Gulf, or Gulf of Kos, and the adjacent Doric Gulf, able to show you Alexander's Path down the coasts of Caria and Lycia, able to show you where Zeniketes lurked in wait for Silk Road merchants, able to show you Cleopatra's routes back up those same coasts and among Greek islands. And, of course, able to show you Aydin Reis's tracks in pursuit of Latin shipping. Batuhan, a fine motor sailing yacht available for charter in Turkey and Greece.
