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 gulet sailing in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. You are probably searching for a charter yacht sailing Turkey or Greece. You may even be searching for a charter gulet sailing Turkey or Greece. You may be thinking of a yacht charter in the Aegean, or of a gulet charter in the eastern Mediterranean, perhaps with your extended family. Or with a group of business associates. Or with fellow club members. A bridge club or a church club. Alternatively, you may be researching Francis of Lorraine. Or researching Mami Reis, an Ottoman corsair taken at Corsica in 1540 coincident with the capture of Dragut (Turgut Reis). In any of these events you might consider Kubilay Sezen, a handsome charter gulet sailing Turkey and Greece, cruising one of the world's last remaining tree-fringed coasts, cruising the Aegean from remote Dodecanese island to remote Dodecanese island, sailing the crossroads of history. With eight double cabins, each en suite, in addition to separate crew quarters, and with large foredeck and quarterdeck in addition to pilot-house salon, there are few more optimum alternatives for a family reunion, for a corporate meeting, for a club gathering in a different venue, or for on-site history instruction. Come sail these seas, breathe the aroma of pine-shrouded coves dotting Turkey's Turquoise Coast, bask under a warm Aegean sun after swimming in Greece's azure sea, join in the search for a perfect tsatziki, climb Sailing Turkeyto an ancient acropolis re-fortified in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries by the Hospitaller Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem known then as the Knights of Rhodes. Taken to Civitavecchia by his captor the Papal Admiral Gentile Virginio Orsini and sent to the oars of a Vatican galley, Mami Reis was ransomed by Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa one year later. Mami, by the way, was an Ottoman of Albanian extraction from Valona (modern Vlore) who obtained a place in history engaging these same Hospitaller Knights. It was in June 1557 when the Hospitallers were better known as the Knights of Malta, but also when they dreamed of recovering their former domain. Sailing in company with Deli Giaffer, the Ottoman governor of Rhodes, and with Mustafa Colaxis and Kara Yusuf, each of the four in his own galley, accompanied by numerous smaller galliots, they encountered in the southern Aegean between Candia, Crete, and Kasos in the Dodecanese a Knights flotilla of five red-hulled black-prowed galleys. Commanded by 23-year old Francis of Lorraine, Grand Prior of France, the Knights enjoyed an advantage in numbers of galleys and galliots but lacked an advantage in experience. Francis was gravely wounded during the ensuing combat while fifty knights lost their lives and others were captured, a huge number for an order with perhaps 500 knights in total. Mami Reis survived unscathed to parade victorious through the Aegean and to fight another day. Why not enjoy the luxury of your own parade through the Aegean aboard a charter gulet sailing Greece and Turkey. Surely this is the holiday for which you search. Rare comfort under sun at the crossroads of history. Try it! You'll like it! Francis of Lorraine was the eleventh child of Claude de Lorraine, Duke of Guise, and Antoinette de Bourbon, and the second son to be named Francis. Those were the necessary ingredients to become a Knight of the holy order of Saint John of Jerusalem: royal blood and little or no inheritance. The first child of Claude and Antoinette, Mary of Guise, married King James V of Scotland and gave birth to Mary Queen of Scots. But this is about Francis. Not the elder Francis who became Duke of Guise, but the 11th of 12 children. The bas relief above and to the left is Faith of the virtues Faith, Hope, and Charity, and comes from the tomb of Antoinette de Bourbon who must have had a lot of it because she was preceded in death not only by her husband but also by most of her children. The cognomen, Grand Prior, was an honorary ecclesiastical title of the Hospitallers. Francis, Grand Prior of France, will go down in history not for combat with Mami Reis, and not for his ecclesiastical endeavors, but for being one of the first prominent tobacco enthusiasts in Europe. Upon his endorsement, tobacco in France became known as the "Herb of the Prior." Francis of Lorraine died of unreported causes during the French Wars of Religion, six weeks short of his 29th birthday and one month after his older brother Francis, Duke of Guise, was assassinated.
