searching for a motor sailing gulet chartering in Greece or Turkey. There are not many similar

motor sailing gulet chartering among neighboring Aegean islands of Greece. You may be considering
a yacht charter vacation with family. Or a yacht charter holiday with friends or associates. Why
not carry through with these interests by chartering a gulet with accommodations for twelve
guests. Like the motor sailing gulet Prenses Gelidonya. What would your family or friends think
about a crewed gulet sailing the wake of a late Bronze Age trader? Sailing it carefully? The

Bronze Age Princess
Gelidonia was a Canaanite, or early Phoenician, sailing vessel dated to about
1200 BC carrying a cargo of bronze scrap and copper ingots from Cyprus to ports unknown. Before
foundering on islets off the southwestern extremity of the Gulf of Antalya, the extremity known
as Cape Gelidonia, she was engaged in the recycling of bronze. She is
one of the first known conservationists. The excavation of her cargo beginning in 1960 taught us
that Homer's references to Phoenicians at the time of Troy were not erroneous as some had thought,
that Phoenicians were in the Aegean at that time, that Lycians and Carians and Ionian Greeks were
then or not long afterward exposed to the Phoenician alphabet. The extant Prenses Gelidonya is
not 3200 years old as is that trader excavated in 1960. In fact, she is only just reaching her
third birthday. Like her predecessor, though, she is cruising the coast of Asia Minor and among
neighboring Greek islands. She is cruising between Antalya and Kusadasi, between Greek 
Kastellorizon and Greek
Mykonos. She is cruising an Asian coast and among Aegean islands ruled
by the Byzantine Empress Irene in the late 8th century AD, an area much of which had earlier
been ruled by the two Queens Artemisia of Caria in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. Would you
like to cruise this same area? While you holiday? Would you like to have a family holiday aboard
a crewed motor-sailing gulet cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey? Or to have a group holiday
aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from one enchanting locale to another? Would you like
to charter a sailing gulet to cruise Greece? The Cyclades in Greece? Would you like to charter a
crewed gulet to cruise from the coast of Turkey into the central Aegean? Starting in Bodrum? Are
you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? Artemisia's Halicarnassus? Well, it is eleven nautical miles
NE of Kos Town on the north shore of the Ceramic Gulf. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a
motor-sailing gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the the coast of Turkey, to show you
Artemisia The Younger's path down the coast of Caria to Rhodes, to show you the route of
Persian flotillas commanded by Artemisia the Elder through the Greek Dodecanese and Eastern
Sporades. Charter Prenses Gelidonya, a superb motor sailing gulet chartering in Greece and Turkey
