Well, you have found her. This is not Orhan Pamuk's Ipek Yildiz from Snow-bound Kars, however, this is a gaff-rigged lady of the sea charter sailing the Mediterranean. Were you thinking of a schooner charter sailing the Mediterranean? Were you thinking of secluded pine-encircled blue-water coves on the south coast of Turkey? Or were you dreaming of schooner sailing in Greece? Of a gaff-rigged schooner sailing among Greek islands? Of Dodecanese pastels and Cycladic blues and whites? Of one fronting the other? Beautiful! Or were you contemplating charter sailing both Turkey and Greece? How about doing these things aboard a crewed charter schooner with accommodations for six couples. How about beginning your charter sail with a cruise along the coast of ancient Lycia. A coast of coves and beaches backed by sharply rising mountains. The Athenian Melesander cruised this coast in 429 BC. Calling into Patara and visiting Tlos. Melesander was welcomed. Until he took to plundering! And met a sudden end! Or begin your charter of this gaff-rigged schooner with a sail along the coast of Caria and among Greek Dodecanese islands. As did Heraclius in 609 AD. With Barbarians At The Gates of Constantinople he sailed up from Carthage and along these shores to turn a Persian tide. And to take the crown of Byzantium while he was at it. Would you like to explore these crossroads of history while you holiday? Would you like to have a family-and-friends holiday aboard a crewed sailing gulet cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey and among adjacent Greek islands? Would you like to have a group of friends or associates holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding under sail from one memorable locale to another? Who wouldn't! Like charter sailing the Greek Aegean! Charter sailing the Greek Cyclades in mid-Aegean! Or charter sailing further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. To Pamphylia or Cilicia. Starting in Bodrum. Or Gocek. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, it's about 45 nautical miles ESE of Marmaris and about 20 road miles from the international airport at Dalaman. At Gocek or Bodrum or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing yacht for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a gaff-rigged schooner with an experienced crew able to show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, able to show you Melesander's path down the coasts of Caria and Lycia, able to show you Heraclius's route up the coasts of Caria and Anatolian Ionia and among Greek islands. Ipek A, a superb gaff-rigged lady of the sea available for charter in Turkey. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com |
