boat charter-hired in Turkey and sailed to Greece? Are you searching for a bare boat on which to Blue
Cruise in Turkey and Greece? How about a bare boat accommodating a group of three or four couples? A
charter sailing yacht home-ported in ancient Lycia hired to cruise ancient Lycia. Or a bare boat rental
on which to sail Caraman Ali's 16th century wakes along the coasts of Lycia and Caria and among Greek
Dodecanese Islands. While you holiday. Would you like to have a group of friends join you in holiday
cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey? Would you like to have a group of friends join you in feasting
on Turkish cuisine? Would you like to have a holiday with friends aboard a bare boat rental proceeding
leisurely from one Aegean island of Greece to another? Taverna dining along the way? Would you like to charter-hire a bare boat to cruise further
along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey? To Antalya in Pamphylia and to Smooth Cilicia just beyond
Pamphylia? Starting in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, it's on the border between
ancient Caria and ancient Lycia twenty-five minutes by road from the international airport at Dalaman
(DLM) and about 42 nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town. In Gocek we can put you aboard a bare boat for the
holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a bare boat charter yacht and show you the flat sailing
waters of the Gulf of Gocek, show you Caraman Ali's several tracks down the coasts of Caria and Lycia to
Antalya, show you his several routes along the coasts of Cilicia, Pamphylia, Lycia, and Caria. And among
Greek islands. He knew the Greek islands well. Some say he was a native of Kos, a Dodecanese island of
Greece just off the coast of Turkey. Others say Caraman Ali was a native of Smooth Cilicia then known in
the west as Karamania. Whether from Kos or from Smooth Cilicia, Caraman Ali became an accomplished seaman
along the coast of Turkey and among nearby islands of Greece, so accomplished that he rose to be a
lieutenant of Kheir-ed-Din Barbarossa when that native of a nearby island of Greece, Lesbos, became Emir
of Algiers succeeding his brother Aruj Barbarossa. Sometimes known as Ali Coti, Caraman Ali became known
to history when he outwitted Andrea Doria during that Genovese/Venetian admiral's 1530 assault on Cherchel,
an Algerian town annexed by the second Barbarossa ten years earlier. Caraman Ali outwitted Doria by
pulling the plugs on his outnumbered vessels, in effect hiding them on Cherchel's harbor floor. His crews
then lay in wait behind the walls of Cherchel's unimpressive castle until Doria put his looters ashore,
whereupon Caraman Ali sortied and put the looters to rout, capturing many. One small chapter in the annals
of history. Join us at the crossroads of history. Bring your children. Catch up on lessons the classrooms
omit. We have superb Oceanis 473 bare boats available for rental in Gocek, Turkey. And we have lots of
history. Those outnumbered vessels resting on the harbor floor? The plugs were reinstalled and the
ballast off-loaded. Galleys and galliots resurfaced! For history or holiday contact Charter Yachts
