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.
