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 luxury gulets chartering in Turkey and Greece may be
obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank you. Are you searching for
a luxury gulet chartering in Turkey or Greece? Could you be thinking of luxury sailing Turkey's
Turquoise Coast? Or are you dreaming of a Blue Cruise in Greece? Of sailing azure sea between
picturesque Greek islands? Or both? Chartering Turkey and Greece? Or are you searching
for Songs of Beuren? For a song of the sea? A sea where, in the words of Carmina Burana's
Carl Orff, or perhaps in the words of a 13th century poet/monk, omnia sol temperat, sun
warms everything. How about a sleek song of the sea with luxury accommodations for five couples. Would you like to charter such a beauty
to Blue Cruise along the coast of Turkey's ancient Lycia? As did the Athenian super-hero Cimon
(Keymoan)? Would you like to do this while on holiday? Would you like to have a
family-and-friends holiday aboard a luxury sailing yacht Blue Cruising the coast of Turkey from
Halicarnassus to Aspendos, from Bodrum to Antalya? As did Cimon in 469 BC? After sailing from one
Greek island to another through the Cyclades and the Dodecanese? As did Cimon? Would you like to
have your holiday cruising through turquoise sea off Patara Beach, Kalkan Beach? As did the
charismatic Cimon (that's him to the left having charmed a lady of Athens into proffering
a bouquet of flowers)? Or would you like to have a group holiday aboard a luxury gulet proceeding
leisurely from one enchanting locale to another, from one historically significant locale to another? As
did Cimon? Would you like to charter a sailing yacht to cruise all the way to the Eurymedon River
sheltering Aspendos? As did Cimon? Past Antiphellus (Kas), past Megisti (Kastellorizon), past Simena
(Kekova), past Myra (Demre), past Limyra (Finike), past Phaselis (Phaselis) and to the mouth of the
Eurymedon where Cimon trapped a Phoenician fleet in the employ of the Great King Xerxes? Destroying it?
Would you like to charter a luxury gulet to cruise further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey?
Starting in Antalya? Are you searching for Antalya in Turkey? Well, it may be found at the top of the
gulf just east of southern Turkey's Cape Gelidonia where the first of two bronze-age recoveries began
in the 1960's. And where Cimon, a three-time Olympics champion and philanthropist for the ages, where
Cimon drew a line in the sea across which the Great King and his Phoenicians were not to venture.
Antalya is not only a launch pad for Aspendos but for the Cilician coast, as well, a point of departure
for Alanya, Adana, Alexandretta, and more. In Antalya we can put you aboard a crewed luxury gulet for
the holiday of a lifetime. Carmina, a superb luxury yacht available for charter in or to Antalya for
the next performance of Carmina Burana at the annual Opera Festival in the Roman theater at Aspendos.
