GO WITH THE RHYTHM OF THE LIGHTS AND WATER
It is no longer just a
far off dream to sail on the blue waters of the
Mediterranean and discover its exquisite bays and
islands... These beautiful sights, which were known
only by local sailors until 40 years ago, are now
easily accessible by sailing boat or traditional
schooner by everyone who wishes to have an
unforgettable holiday. You can either organize your
own group and rent a schooner, establishing your own
route, or share a boat with new acquaintances and
join a blue voyage on a pre-established route. At
stopovers, you can expend surplus energy on various
water sports, lie on deck beneath the Mediterranean
sun, dreaming of new holidays and various routes in
quietude.
It is up to you to set
the boundaries of your Blue Voyage, starting at
Fethiye, to the north of the Aegean Sea and Eastern
Mediterranean... You can start with the Göcek
islands and bays on the Marmaris Route; you can
visit the Tersane Island, Bedri Rahmi Bay (Tasyaka =
Lycian Bay), Manastir (Cleopatra's Bath) , Sarsala
Bay , Boynuz Bükü and Ag Limani, reaching Ekincik
and istuzu, the beach of the Carettas; or you can
sail towards Antalya, visiting Gemiler Bay, Gemiler
Island (St.Nicholas Island), Bestaslar Limani -
Soguksu Bay, Ölüdeniz, Patara, Kalkan, Kas and the
sunken city Kekova.
It is an
unrivalled pleasure to voyage by traditional
Turkish Schooners, which are called gulet. These
are built from chestnut, mahogany, teak and
pinewood and offer good living space with their
comfortable cabins, showers, toilets and plenty
of space to relax. Different standards and
various passenger capacities also provide you
with plenty of choice depending on your holiday
budget and for the preferences of your group.
 In
addition to lying back and enjoying the peace
and endless sunshine, you can also take part in
numerous energetic water sports, such as deep
sea diving, waterski, parasailing, jetski,
windsurfing, banana and ringo. For sailing
addicts, favourable winds, such as the late
afternoon "meltem", offer the chance to blend
spectacular surroundings with the utter
tranquillity of a boat at sail… a unique
combination.
The Blue Voyage
tempts you to a completely unique holiday
experience, bringing together the backdrop of a
cultural heritage of thousands of years,
spectacular scenery, and an on-board lifestyle
centred around the sun and sea, good food, good
friends old and new… and complete, utter,
unforgettable relaxation.
