Further information concerning family sailing in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on
the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a bare boat on which to
do a bit of family sailing in Turkey or Greece? Are you thinking of bare boat family sailing along
the pine-clad coast of Turkey? Of bare boating with your family among remote islands of Greece? Of
bare boating through history and geography lessons? Or all of the above? How about bare boating
aboard a charter yacht with accommodations for a family of four. Or for five or six in a pinch. A
family sailing yacht with which to cruise Turkey's ancient Lycia, home of a seafaring people always
trolling but not always trolling for seafood. Or how about chartering a family sailing yacht with
which to cruise
Alcibiades' wake along the coast not just of Lycia but of neighboring Caria and Ionia and among Greek
Dodecanese islands, as well. While you holiday. Yes, while you have a family holiday cruising the
Turquoise Coast of Turkey and the azure sea between remote Aegean islands of Greece discussing that most
faulted cog in Athenian history. Raised by Pericles and Aspasia, the former pre-eminent statesman of
Athens during its golden age and the latter a renowned beauty, protege of Socrates (at right in
Jean-Baptiste Regnault's 1791 depiction, removing Alcibiades from boudoir to parlor), an admiral at
the age of 30, Olympic chariot victor at the age of 34, a man for all seasons and all women at all
ages, seducer of |
the Queen
of Sparta at age 37, and dead at behest of the Spartan Lysander at age 46. Discussing that imperfect
leader of men while you have a family holiday aboard a bare boat proceeding leisurely from one
enchanting locale to another along the crossroads of history. Begin your holiday in Gocek. Begin the
instruction of your children in Gocek, ancient Callimache. Locate Callimache in the Roman Stadiasmus.
Or on a map of Turkey. Are you searching for Gocek even now? For Fethiye in Turkey? Well, they may be
found in the NW and NE corners, respectively, of the large gulf thirty-odd nautical miles ENE of Rhodes
Town and within an hour of the international airport at Dalaman. There or elsewhere we can put you
aboard a bare boat for the family holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht and
show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Alcibiades' 411 BC track
with thirteen Athenian triremes down the coast of Lycia to Phaselis, show you pirate haunts near
Phaselis, show you Alcibiades' return the same year by way of Caunos up the coasts of Lycia and
neighboring Caria and Ionia and among Greek islands all the way to Samos, and tell you what he told the
people of Samos about a Phoenician flotilla resting near Phaselis. A superb bare boat available for
family charter sailing at the crossroads of history. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters
