Further information concerning gulet chartering in Greece and Turkey may be obtained by clicking
on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a motor-sailing
gulet chartering in Greece and Turkey? For a motor-sailing gulet on Blue Cruise in the eastern
Mediterranean? Are you thinking of a gulet charter in Turkey? Of a yacht charter in Greece? Or
both? How about a crewed charter gulet with accommodations for twelve guests. Like the motor-sailing
gulet Dolce Vita I. What would you think about a crewed gulet chartering among remote islands of
Greece and along the cove indented coast of Turkey? What would you think about cruising the
crossroads of history? Sailing, for example, in the wake of Aruj Barbarossa? Cruising the coast of
Asia Minor and among neighboring Greek islands as did Aruj? Aruj was the eldest of six children born
to Greek parents on the Aegean island of Lesbos, the father a former Ottoman janissary. Of the four
sons two with auburn beards were later known as Barbarossa, Aruj the first. He got his sea legs
fishing the waters off Lesbos and his habit of command aboard an undecked open galley or galliot with
eight oars to a side. He learned even more as a slave in the galleys of the Knights of Rhodes.
Ransomed for far too little and returned to a free-booting life at sea, by 1516 Aruj had founded the
kingdom of Algiers and become its ruler, the younger Barbarossa brother, Khizr or Kheir-ed-Din, his
principal lieutenant. Long before the brothers Barbarossa the Mediterranean was the haunt of pirates
and rogues. Like the Athenian superhero Alcibiades, |
a rogue for all seasons and for all reasons.
That's him seated at left visiting Aspasia of Miletus. He appeared off our shores during the Spartan
War, first on the side of the Spartans and then on the side of the Athenians. What would you think
about gulet chartering Greece and Turkey in his wake? Cruising from one scene of roguish exploit to
the next scene of roguish exploit? While you holiday. While you proceed from pine-encircled cove to
remote island. What would you think about an extended-family holiday aboard a crewed sailing gulet
cruising these waters, aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from fascinating locale to
fascinating locale? Or would you prefer to have a group of friends holiday with you, a group of
friends maybe including rogues. Perhaps cruising into the Cyclades. Cruising from Turkey into the
central Aegean and among sugar-cube encrusted Cyclades islands once visited by that super rogue.
Starting in Bodrum. Are you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? Well, it is eleven nautical miles NE of
Kos Town on the north shore of the Ceramic Gulf. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a charter
gulet with an experienced crew able to show you tracks left by the Barbarossa brothers, able to show
you tracks left by the other two brothers without auburn beards, able to show you Alcibiades' 411 BC
path down the coasts of Turkey's Caria and Lycia to Phaselis in the Gulf of Antalya, and able to show
you his several routes fleeing from the husbands of seduced wives, one such husband King of Sparta.
