Further information concerning charter sailing yachts in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. Given the title of this web page, you must be searching for a charter sailing yacht in Turkey or Greece, perhaps for a charter sailing yacht on Blue Cruise in both Turkey and Greece. You might even be thinking of an intimate cruise on a small yacht. Or each of the above. How about an intimate cruise on a charter sailing tirhandil, by any other name a double-ended caique, with accommodations for just four guests? Miyase. Of many alternative routes you could charter this sloop-rigged yacht to cruise the coast of Turkey's and Homer's ancient Lycia, or to cruise Cleopatra's honeymoon route along the coast of neighboring Caria and among Greek Dodecanese islands. While you honeymoon yourself! You could honeymoon or holiday aboard a crewed sailing yacht proceeding from idyllic cove to remote island. And back again. Proceeding leisurely from one enchanting locale to another, from one enchanting locale to a crossroads of history. Why not! You could even charter such a sailing yacht to cruise the Cyclades in Greece. Mykonos. Paros. Santorini. Kheir-ed-Din (the younger Barbarossa) cruised the Cyclades rather frequently. As Lord High Admiral of the Ottoman Navy beside himself over Venetian piracy along the trade route between Istanbul and Alexandria, he taught Venice a lesson in 1537 never forgotten. He raided each and every Aegean island controlled by that maritime state. One of the Cyclades experiencing his wrath was Paros, and one of the consequences was enslavement of the high-born on that island. Cecilia Venier-Baffo, offspring of two distinguished Venetian families, was among the victims. Made a slave in Istanbul's Topkapi Palace, she came to the attention of the future Sultan Selim II and bore him a son, the future Sultan Murat III. Six years later Kheir-ed-Din took a more leisurely cruise through the Cyclades, this time on his own honeymoon. The last but not the first such honeymoon. Known by her father-in-law Suleiman the Magnificent as Nurbanu or Princess of Light, Cecilia Venier-Baffo was the illegitimate offspring of Nicolo Venier, Venetian Governor of Paros, and of a Baffo history has failed to name. She was the niece of Sebastiano Venier, Grand Admiral of the Venetian Navy at the battle of Lepanto and later Doge of Venice. She was also cousin to Giovanni Antonio Baffo, a famed Venetian maker of harpsichords. For more on Baffos click here. Upon the death of her husband Selim II and succession of Murat III, Nurbanu became Valide Sultan, perhaps the strongest and wisest of a line of influential queen mothers propping up weak sons. Would you like to charter a crewed yacht to cruise through this kind of history? On your own honeymoon? Starting in Bodrum? Or in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Fethiye in Turkey? Both proximate to Dalaman International Airport? Well, there or elsewhere we can put you aboard a charter sailing yacht for the honeymoon or holiday of a lifetime.
