by clicking on the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. Could you be searching for
an ocean-flying kestrel? For the Falco tinnunculus? A falcon sometimes called a
windhover? Well, you've come to the wrong place. The ocean-flying kestrel is little more
than a foot in length, while you have found a 71-foot lady of the sea. Their single common
characteristic is speed on the wind. This Ocean Kestrel is a crewed sailing yacht on charter in
Turkey and Greece. Could you be subconsciously thinking of a crewed yacht charter in Turkey or
Greece? Perhaps in the way of an exploratory cruise along the coast of Turkey and among offshore
islands of Greece? Maybe sailing in the wake of Sir Robert Ainslie, Britain's ambassador to the
Sublime Porte from 1776 to 1792. |
During those years the coast of Turkey and offshore islands of Greece were all Ottoman, and Sir
Robert considered it his duty to be familiar with the Ottoman realm. A lifelong friend of the poet
Robert Burns and of the writer Walter Scott, Sir Robert was also friend to Luigi Mayer, a gifted
German artist with Italian roots and schooling. During Sir Robert's final year as ambassador he
and Mayer toured this coast and these islands together, Sir Robert commissioning Mayer to produce
depictions of 96 landmarks. One of these marvelous renderings which has come down to us as The
Harbor At Cacamo appears to the right. It is in fact a depiction of the north shore of Kekova
Roads, a regular Ocean Kestrel stop. Surely Kekova Roads is worthy of your inspection if it was
worthy of Sir Robert's commission. But don't pause too long at Kekova as there are other equally
auspicious landmarks which Luigi Mayer committed to posterity and our enjoyment, from Hadrian's
Granery and Cistern at Andriake a few miles beyond Kekova Roads to the Roman theater at Fethiye to
the Castle at Bodrum, from the Temple of Hera at Samos to the Artemis Gallery at Ephesus. And more.
Many more. So come aboard Ocean Kestrel, a crewed sailing yacht on charter in Greece and Turkey.
Come aboard in Gocek. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Fethiye in Turkey? Well, they are
both about forty-five nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town and within 40 road miles of Dalaman
International Airport. In either place or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed charter yacht
for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a crewed charter yacht and show you the flat
sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Robert Ainslie's path down the coast of
Lycia, show you Luigi Mayer's route back up the coast of Turkey and among Greek islands. Ocean
