Further information about cruising the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean may be obtained by clicking
on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a sailing yacht on
which to cruise the Aegean Sea or eastern Mediterranean. You may have read something about a yacht
charter along Turkey's Turquoise Coast. Or your thoughts might be of a cruise among Greek islands. Or
you may be dreaming of both Greece and Turkey, the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean. Well, the
Bavaria 40 is a charter yacht with family accommodations ideal for cruising either or both. You and
your family or you and friends might like to charter such a sailing yacht to cruise the Aegean and
eastern Mediterranean coasts of ancient Caria, a part of southwestern Turkey. Or to sail the Aegean
coasts of Turkey's neighboring Ionia, Aeolis, and The Troad, cruising among Greek Dodecanese and
Sporades islands along the way. While you holiday on blue water under blue skies at the crossroads
of history. |
One of the first historical
narratives is the Iliad attributed to Homer. The Iliad, "the first-fruits of the noblest
literature of the world, and the fount of poetic inspiration for all later ages,"
inspired a German-American by the name of Heinrich Schleimann to author at the age of nine an essay
in Latin concerning the Trojan War, and forty years later in 1871 to go in search of Homer's Troy.
Priam's Troy. Schleimann was accompanied in his search by his wife Sophia Kastromenos, a remarkable
Greek beauty with the necessary funds, and advised by Frank Calvert, a British archaeologist with a
theory as to Troy's location. Would you like to holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely
from one azure swimming hole to another, knowing Troy's location and eventually reaching the shore on
which Agamemnon beached his galleys? Because Schleimann found Homer's Troy in The Troad, that part of
Turkey just below the Dardanelles. He also found gold and artifacts which he labeled Priam's Treasure,
perhaps because of a gold cup alone weighing forty ounces. Would you like to charter a yacht to cruise
The Troad? Starting in Bodrum, perhaps? Are you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? Well, it's about
eleven nautical miles NNE of Kos Town on the Greek island of Kos (Cos). In Bodrum or elsewhere we can
put you aboard a sailing yacht for the holiday of a lifetime cruising north through the Aegean, past
ancient Iasus, past the Greek islands of Pharmakousa, Agathonisi, and Samos, past Ephesus, Chios, and
Lesbos, crossing the wake of Agamemnon (depicted above) coming and going, all the way to The Troad. A
cruise through Aegean history or a cruise from one swim hole to the next. Or both. Contact Blue
