A Similar Sailing Gulet Cruising Greece And Turkey A Luxury Sailing Gulet Cruising Greece And Turkey A Classic Sailing Yacht Cruising France, Spain, and Italy This page last updated on 05/03/2012 Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading
this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for
human beings. Further information concerning gulets cruising Turkey and Greece may be obtained by
clicking on the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for the
Tropic of Capricorn? In the southern hemisphere? Or are you searching for a similarly named
constellation seen in the southern hemisphere? For Capricornus? According to Eratosthenes of
Cyrene writing in the third century BC, Capricornus dwelled with Zeus on Mount Ida in Crete. He
supported Zeus when the latter rebelled against the Titans, parents of the Gods. Capricornus had
discovered horns of the sea, Conchae, and taught his companions how to use them. When they
faced the Titans, they blew on these horns instead of trumpets. Hearing the sound of conchs the
Titans fled. To honor Capricornus, Zeus placed him in heaven in such a way that he seemed part
goat and part fish, a sign that he had discovered sea goat horns. This being the case, perhaps
you are searching, heaven forbid, for a blue sea goat!!! No? Well, then, you must be searching
for a gulet cruising Greece. Or for a gulet cruising Turkey. Or for a sailing gulet cruising both
Turkey and Greece. Maybe even for a schooner-rigged gulet sailing from pine-fringed clear-water
cove to pine-fringed clear-water cove, from remote |
Greek island to remote Greek island. You may
be dreaming of yacht charters under a blue sky. You may be considering a holiday with a group of
dearer friends and near-dearer friends. Perhaps to Greece. To sugar-cube encrusted islands
including Sifnos, Paros, and Santorini once controlled by the Republic of Venice. And once prey
to raids by the Barbarossa brothers, by Dragut, and by other Ottoman sea captains. You might like
to trace Piali Pasha's raiding tracks east and west through the Cyclades after he succeeded the
Barbarossas. You know, to discover which islands he favored. It was, by the way, colonists from
Santorini who founded Cyrene, home of Eratosthenes in what is now Libya. Rather than troll Libya,
though, you might prefer to charter a crewed motor/sailing gulet to cruise ancient Lycia in Asia
Minor. Or to sail Cleopatra's Route along the coasts of neighboring Caria and Ionia. While you
holiday! While you holiday aboard a crewed sailing yacht cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey.
While you have a group holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from enchanting locale
to intriguing locale. Perhaps cruising further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Starting
in Bodrum. Piali did that, too. Piali was Croatian by birth, a janissary by training, and the
son-in-law of Selim II by assignment, placed in the latter position by Suleiman The Magnificent as
a check to the unbalance of his father-in-law. Are you searching for Bodrum in Turkey? For Antalya
in Turkey? Well, starting here or there or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed gulet for the
holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show
you the coast between Bodrum and Antalya, able to show you Piali's tracks along the coast of Asia
Minor and into the Aegean as one of Dragut's sea captains, to show you his route down the coast of
Turkey and among Aegean islands to Crete as Selim II's Kapudan Pasha or Lord High Admiral. Blue
Capricorn, a superb crewed gulet cruising Greece and Turkey. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey
