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 dreaming of a Blue Cruise between remote Greek islands in hot pursuit of the perfect tzatziki? Or are you considering a Blue Cruise along the Turquoise Coast of Turkey? Contemplating a swim in crystal-clear seawater at the foot of pined slopes? 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 Hospitaller Knights of Rhodes (the Hospitaller 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. Of the six children four were brothers and all four became sea captains (Reis). Two of the others 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 the Hospitallers. 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 at bcycharter@aol.com
