Should you be searching for Mare Nostrum, meaning Our Sea in Latin, you may well have come to the right place. Should you alternatively be searching simply for nostrum, that is, for a solution to your malaise, well, you may also have come to the right place. Should you be looking for that period novel Mare Nostrum by Blasco-Ibanez, however, you know, the novel with a German spy for a heroine who loses her heart to a Spanish sea captain and her life to a firing squad, you have found the wrong web page. Try again. This Mare Nostrum is a luxury schooner which slipped down the ways in April of 2008 and soon thereafter went into crewed charter service. This Mare Nostrum is chartering in Greece and Turkey. This Mare Nostrum is chartering at the crossroads of history along the southwest coast of Turkey and among Aegean islands of Greece. Could you be thinking of a yacht charter in Turkey? Of a yacht charter in Greece? Or both? If so, how about doing it aboard a schooner-rigged gulet with accommodations for six couples. How about doing it aboard an iroko- framed, mahogany-planked, and teak-decked yacht with six luxurious mahogany-walled cabins. How about doing it aboard a sailing yacht with an experienced crew of five including a master chef. How about doing it aboard the 140-foot yacht Mare Nostrum. What would you think about a crewed yacht chartering Greece and Turkey in the wake of Aruj Reis? Cruising the coast of Asia Minor and among neighboring Greek islands. Aruj Reis (Aruj Captain) was the eldest of six children born to Greek parents, the father a former Ottoman janissary, on the Aegean island of Lesbos. Of the four sons two were later known as Barbarossa, Aruj the first. He got his sea legs fishing the waters off Lesbos and his habit of command in the service of the Khedive of Egypt. He learned even more as a slave in the galleys of the Knights of Rhodes. Ransomed for far too little, by 1516 Aruj had founded the kingdom of Algeria and become its ruler, the second Barbarossa brother, Kheir-ed-Din, his principal lieutenant. Long before the brothers Barbarossa the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey were the haunt of ancient Greeks, like the Athenian superhero Alcibiades. He was here during the Spartan War, first on the side of the Spartans and then on the side of the Athenians. What would you think about chartering Greece and Turkey in his wake? 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? You might have to reach out to cousins. Or would you be more likely to have a group of friends holiday with you aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from fascinating locale to fascinating locale? Perhaps cruising into the Cyclades. Cruising from Turkey into the central Aegean. Starting in Marmaris. Are you searching for Marmaris in Turkey? Well, it is 25 nautical miles north of Rhodes Town, the home port for the Knights galley in which Aruj pulled the oars. It is also 90 minutes by road from the international airport at Dalaman (DLM). In Marmaris 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 Caria and Lycia to Phaselis, to show you the route of Persian fleets then threatening to come to the assistance of Spartans and to the peril of Athenians. Mare Nostrum, a superb crewed yacht chartering Greece and Turkey and knowledgeable of local history. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com |
