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 sailing yacht cruising 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. Alternatively, you may be researching Mami Reis, that Ottoman corsair captain taken at Corsica in 1540 with 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, cruising the crossroads of history. Sent to the oars of a Genovese galley in the year of his capture, Mami Reis was ransomed by Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa one year later. With eight double cabins, each en suite, in addition to separate crew quarters, and with large foredeck and quarterdeck in addition to a pilot-house salon, there are few more optimum alternatives for a family reunion, for a corporate sabattical, for a club meeting in a different venue, or for 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 its azure sea, join in the search for a perfect tsatziki, climb to an ancient acropolis re-fortified in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries by the Knights of Rhodes. Mami Reis (Mami Captain), by the way, was an Albanian from Valona (modern Vlore) who obtained a place in history engaging these same Knights of Rhodes. It was in June 1557 when the Knights of Rhodes were 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 five red-hulled black-prowed galleys of the Knights in the southern Aegean between Candia, Crete, and Kasos in the Dodecanese. Commanded by Francis of Lorena, Prior of France, the Knights enjoyed an advantage in numbers of galleys and galliots but lacked an advantage in determination. Francis of Lorena was gravely wounded during the ensuing combat while fifty knights were killed and as many captured, huge numbers for an order with perhaps 700 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! Kubilay Sezen, a fine charter gulet sailing Turkey and Greece.
