AEGEAN AND EASTERN
MEDITERRANEAN Unforgettable
Holidays Another dimension has been added to the richness of living,
and we are grateful for it. (Links in Underlined Teal Text)
Combining speed under sail with her crew's passion for history and archaeology, one of these is the forty-four foot crewed charter sailing yacht T.G. Ellyson. Topside the TGE's expansive teak deck is free of obstruction, the rigging easily workable. Below decks there are two private cabins each accommodating two guests. A teak-paneled salon incorporates a fully-equipped galley and navigation station. Two water closets include fresh-water showers. A second well-appointed and proper sailing yacht is the British-flag sloop Panta Rhei of Fowey. A custom racer, this 51' high-tech yacht was built in 1995 to exacting weight and performance standards. She, too, offers two private cabins each accommodating two guests. Still a third yacht worthy of special mention is the superbly maintained Astral Music, a 44' ketch flying the British red ensign which offers a spacious teak deck and similar appointments. The crews of T.G. Ellyson, Panta Rhei, and Astral Music have each sailed the Mediterranean
for decades, propelling these yachts and others from Gibraltar to Lebanon, from Crete to
Istanbul and beyond, including exhaustive cruising of the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean.
Gordon Abercrombie, owner and skipper of the T.G. Ellyson, has cruised the Greek islands and
coast of Turkey since 1980. Jennifer Abercrombie, English, Isabelle Outin, French, and others of
the TGE crew have traveled extensively through both countries and possess a local familiarity and
language fluency smoothing the way for TGE guests. With decades of eastern Mediterranean experience,
Geoff Parsons, owner and skipper of Panta Rhei, is a master of all trades, sailing, yacht building,
and hospitality among them. He is fluent in Portuguese while crew Becci Stevens speaks Spanish and
French. John and Louise Helliwell, skipper and crew of Astral A typical day aboard any of these very special yachts begins with a view of water-side life in a Greek or Turkish town or of pine-clad slopes and clear seawater. Breakfast may be taken on deck or from a taverna or stone kiln ashore. During breakfast the guests plan their day. Hiking and exploring may come next, or sailing while trolling for sagacious sea life. Swim stops may be frequent, depending on inclination and destination. The destination may be an idyllic cove affording opportunity to snorkel or kayak, or simply to relax and read in the warmth of the sun. And in the evening guests may wish to enjoy catered dining or the campfire cuisine of an enterprising restaurateur skilled in the art of preparing fine regional food. Nearby there may be ancient Greek, Roman, or Byzantine ruins not often seen by tourists, or the ruins of a pirate village climbing slopes from which watchful eyes once peered out to sea. Alternatively the destination might be a charming town home to wily rug merchants, to silver shops, or to an agora or bazaar offering a myriad of shopping opportunities. And likely, in such a town, the dining will be memorable. Here, there, or elsewhere, guests will be meeting and conversing with people of many nationalities and varied backgrounds, listening, learning, and experiencing the holiday of their lives.

Saint Paul among Greece's Forgotten Islands. A
sailing holiday cruising the pine-clad Turquoise Coast of Turkey. An eastern Mediterranean
charter hopping between Greece and Turkey. On a honeymoon. In
crisp clean air not yet cluttered with nitrogen dioxide and ozone. As was Croatia's prior to 1988,
and as was Arizona's prior to 1983. Charter one of our sailing yachts in Greece or Turkey to
cruise the Greek islands of the Aegean Sea or to cruise along the south coast of Turkey. In clean
air. Before it's too late. Plan to embark on a honeymoon or holiday in Greece. Or Turkey. Charter
one of our sailing yachts to cruise the Aegean from Rhodes. Charter a sailing yacht to cruise the
Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Begin the holiday in Gocek, Turkey. Or Bodrum in Turkey. Or Kos
(Cos) or Simi in Greece. These charter yachts can meet you there or elsewhere for the holiday or
honeymoon of a lifetime. What's the difference where "terrorists" come from! Whether
they are home grown in Iraq or infiltrated into Iraq! Whether they come from Iraq or from Syria!
Or from Yemen! Or from Saudi Arabia! The difference is that suspected Iraqi "terrorists"
captured in Iraq are imprisoned in Iraq. That's bad enough given Abu Ghraib. But
"terrorists" captured in Iraq suspected of having roots outside of Iraq are air-lifted
to one of several U.S. concentration camps in Afghanistan where they are beyond the reach of the
International Committee of the Red Cross. That's the difference! Our charter yachts are among a
select few crewed charter yachts with experienced crews able to show a honeymooner or holiday-goer
the birthplace of democracy, Greece, its Aegean islands, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the
Sporades. Our charter yachts are also able to cruise Cleopatra's route up the Turkish coast to
Greek Samos, or to sail along Alexander's path down the coast of Turkey from Troy to Phaselis.
