Another Luxury Yacht Motor-Sailing Holiday In Turkey And Greece A Luxury Yacht Sailing Holiday In Turkey And Greece This page last updated on 02/14/2009 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 yacht holidays in Greece and Turkey may be
obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Like Rikki Tikki, you
may be searching for the king cobra, ophiophagus hannah, a venomous species with expandable
neck typically found in India. This is not India. Or you may be searching for a new driver. Not to
chauffeur you around but to chauffeur a little white ball around. Again, you've found the wrong web
page. But should you be searching for hamadryads some of which are cobras, well, you're getting warm
because hamadryads are Greek nymphs and this Cobra King, a luxury yacht, sails in Greek waters. Like

maybe there should be Greek nymphs in
Greek waters. So come aboard Cobra King for a luxury yacht holiday in Greek waters. That's what this
web page is all about, luxury yacht holidays in Greece and luxury yacht holidays in Turkey.
One of the earliest personages to enjoy a luxury yacht holiday in this part of the world, modern
Greece and Turkey, was the cobra-diademed Queen of Egypt. She came up from Alexandria in 32 BC in
the company of Antony's Roman war galleys as well as in the company of Antony himself. In addition
to war galleys she had with her four canopied barges carrying the entire Egyptian treasury. Luxury
yachts of the ancient world. They paused often, as was the nature of barges and galleys, to collect
taxes, to gather food stuffs, and to rest. Antony and Cleopatra, moreover, were on a long-delayed
honeymoon. History does not tell us all of the places at which they paused along the Turkish coast
but it does mention Perge, Arycanda, Patara, Lydae, Loryma, new Knidos, Cedreae, Halikarnassus, and
Ephesus, and one might well imagine it also included wealthier cities such as Side, Aspendos, and
Phaselis. History further tells us that when Cleopatra saw fit to explore this fascinating coast she
did so supported by litter bearers, the forerunner of magic carpets and then the ultimate in luxury
travel ashore. We know that one of the reasons Cleopatra traveled ashore at Halikarnassus (modern
Bodrum) was to visit the scene of Alexander's longest Near Eastern siege, a 334 BC assault in which
her forebear and founder of the Egyptian dynasty Ptolemy I Soter participated as one of Alexander's
generals. We know, too, that she visited nearby Kos, birthplace of Soter's son Ptolemy II
Philadelphus. And for the rest she had a proprietary interest stemming from Egypt's third and second
century BC rule here. Finally we know she went on to Samos after Ephesus because Samos was the
jumping off point for shipping crossing the Aegean, and an Aegean crossing was the only way to get to
Actium. And that's how we get back to Uadjet. All but the last of these places along Cleopatra's
honeymoon route were Uadjet's heaven. Actium, modern Preveza, as we all know was hell. Still
is, for that matter. So whether you are dreaming of a Blue Cruise or of Cleopatra's honeymoon route,
perhaps on your own honeymoon anniversary, you might charter a luxury sailing yacht to cruise through
history along Turkey's Turquoise Coast and among Dodecanese Islands of Greece. Come aboard Cobra King,
a luxury sailing yacht offering a holiday par excellence. Come aboard a crewed charter yacht
with an experienced crew able to show you the Dodecanese islands of Greece or Cleopatra's route up the
