Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page.
What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human
beings. Further information concerning charter boat sailing in Turkey and Greece may be obtained
by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. What search words have you
just used? Charter boat sailing Turkey? Or charter boat sailing Greece? If so, you must be
searching for a charter sailing boat such as Burc-u Zafer. If not, you found Burc-u Zafer
anyway. Take a look. See if you like the concept. Which country is it? Greece or
Turkey? Are you considering or would you consider a Blue Cruise along the
Turquoise Coast of Turkey? Are you contemplating or would you contemplate a swim
in crystal-clear seawater at the foot of pined slopes? Or are you dreaming of a
Blue Cruise between remote Greek islands in hot pursuit of the perfect tzatziki? Could you even be
hoping to charter a gulet to do both Greece and Turkey at once? How about doing one or both aboard a
crewed charter gulet with spacious teak decks and comfortable accommodations for six couples. A
schooner-rigged sailing gulet on which to cruise the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey. Or on
which to sail among neighboring Dodecanese and Sporades islands of Greece. Or both. While you holiday.
While you have a family-and-friends holiday combining sun, fun, and history. Perhaps cruising the
tracks of galleys flying the colors of the Knights (Hospitallers) of Rhodes (nee the Knights of
Saint John of Jerusalem). Or cruising the tracks of Knight prey such as Ilyas Reis. While you have a
group holiday aboard a schooner-rigged gulet proceeding
leisurely from one historically intriguing locale to another. While you charter a sailing gulet to
cruise further into the Aegean. To the Greek Cyclades. As did Ilyas (Elias) Reis. Have you heard of
Ilyas Reis? He was one of six children born in the late fifteenth century to
Greek parents living on the island of Lesbos in the Sporades, the father a
former Ottoman janissary, the mother widow of a Greek Orthodox priest. Three of the four brothers including Ilyas became sea
captains (Reis). The other two Reis were known as Barbarossa because of their auburn beards. Ilyas,
an Orthodox Christian by roots if not upbringing, lost his life in a sea battle with Latin
Christian Knights of Rhodes. But only after a free-booting existence some called piracy. Why not
charter a crewed gulet to cruise some of the ports and anchorages free-booted by Ilyas Reis. Starting
in Mytilene, the principal port city of Lesbos. Or Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, where one of his
brothers was briefly imprisoned in the dungeon of St. Peter's castle. Or you might prefer Cesme in
Turkey, a hop, skip, and jump due east of Greek Chios. That's not far from Izmir International Airport.
There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing gulet for the holiday of a lifetime. We can
put you aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you azure sailing waters off the
western coast of Turkey and between neighboring Sporades Islands of Greece, able to show you Ilyas's
path through the Aegean to Candia (Crete). Candia, then ruled by Latin Venetians, is the locale in
which Ilyas is said by Latin sources to have met his maker, his relatively small galliot trapped by
the Knights' great galley Our Lady Of The Conception. Burc-u Zafer's crew is able to show you
the Knight's route from Rhodes Town to Khalki to Karpathos to Kasos to the city of Herakleion (then
also known as Candia) in pursuit of Ilyas Reis. Burc-u Zafer, a charter sailing boat
available for charter in Turkey and Greece. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today
