Further information concerning small gulets chartering Turkey may be obtained by clicking on the
maroon links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a gulet chartering
along the coast of Turkey, possibly a small gulet. You may be thinking of a family cruise along the
Turkish coast from Roman archaeological dig to Lycian archaeological dig, educating your offspring,
or from isolated blue-water cove to isolated blue-water cove, entertaining your offspring, from
white-sand beach to white-sand beach, exercising your offspring. Or you may be dreaming of a yacht
cruise among nearby Greek islands, sailing from Dodecanese pastel to Cycladic blue-and-white, from
taverna to taverna, from grilled octopus to seafood pasta. Or you may simply be dreaming of cruising
anywhere in the eastern Mediterranean. Or anywhere in the Aegean. They are not the same, the eastern
Mediterranean and the Aegean. The Aegean ends and the eastern Mediterranean begins at a line formed
by Kos, Nisiros, Tilos, Khalki, the southwestern extremity of Rhodes, Karpathos, Kasos, and Crete.
How about cruising both the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean aboard a small charter gulet with
exclusive accommodations for six. How about having an ultra-private holiday sailing Imperial
Byzantine Navy tracks off the Turkish coasts of Lycia and Caria and among Greek islands; the AD 715
tracks, among others, of John the General Logothete assembling an army and armada in Telmessos
intended to deter Saracen invaders from the Middle East. Or how about having an exclusive holiday
with a small group of dear friends aboard a |
small and cozy ketch-rigged gulet proceeding leisurely from one remarkable Dodecanese locale to another,
as did John's oar and lateen-rigged, double-decked, Greek-fire armed, dromons (depiction at left)
and pamphylos and ousiakos sailing from Telmessos. How about embarking aboard your
crewed gulet in Telmessos, modern Fethiye. Are you searching for Fethiye in Turkey? Well, Fethiye is
located at the head of its own gulf 40 nautical miles ENE of Rhodes and proximate to the international
airport at Dalaman (DLM). Fethiye was in Lycian times called Telebehi even though it was for most of
its ancient history a Lycian-speaking city-state independent of Lycia. Resting on the border between
ancient Lycia and ancient Caria, Fethiye continued as Telebehi until Ptolemaic rule in the third
century BC when it became Telmessos. This it remained until John the General Logothete
renamed it Anastasiopolis in honor of his Byzantine Emperor Anastasius II, an emperor otherwise
remembered mostly for the brevity of his two-year rule. One hundred years later, there being an
unrelated blood line on the Byzantine throne, Anastasiopolis was again renamed, this time to Macry,
the name Macry remaining through the Ottoman centuries. It was re-named once more about eighty years
ago in honor of Fethi Bey, an aviation pioneer who in 1914 attempted a 14-leg flight from Istanbul to
Alexandria, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Piloting a Bleriot XI fashioned from balsa, paper, and
glue, Fethi's tractor monoplane suffered from an absence of qualified care at each of the first eight
waypoints and came to an abrupt halt between Beirut and Damascus where Fethi and his co-pilot rest
today. In Fethiye or in nearby Gocek or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing gulet for a
holiday not to be forgotten. We can put you aboard a charter gulet with an experienced crew able to
show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, able to show you the Imperial
Navy's track down the coast of Caria, able to show you its track back up the coast of Turkey and
among Greek islands. Ceylan, an impressive small gulet chartering Turkey. Contact Charter
