Another Motor Sailing Gulet Charter Cruising Turkey And Greece A Large Sloop Charter Cruising Turkey And Greece This page last updated on 11/30/2007 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 charter cruising in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the maroon links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a yacht charter cruising Turkey or Greece. Or for an Ottoman chieftain by the name of Omer. Or you could be searching for Homer, but Google misplaced your H. Well, you have found the first, though the first's crew may be familiar with the others. The only Omer Aga of whom history makes us aware was chief of Selim III's Topijis, a Bonaparte-trained corps of artillery Selim elevated to a rank above that of Janissaries. The elevation was to prove Selim's undoing as displeased janissaries soon nominated a new sultan and did away with the old. As for Homer, if he existed at all he came from the part of western Anatolia called Ionia. We know that because the Iliad was written in Ionian Greek, a Greek quite different than the Attic Greek spoken by ancient Athenians. But this web page is about charter cruising holidays in Turkey and Greece, about Blue Cruises along Turkey's Turquoise Coast and among Greek Aegean islands. It is about charter cruising vacations idling under a warm sun while floating on an azure sea. It is about isolated anchorages in pine-encircled bays, about remote islands off the tourist track. It is about the culinary delights of Turkish cuisine, and about fresh seafood prepared as only Greeks prepare seafood. It is also about the pursuit of a perfect octopus salad, a pursuit kept tantalizingly alive by close approximations. Finally, it is about the charter cruising gulet Omer Aga sailing from Fethiye on the border between ancient Caria and ancient Lycia. Could you be thinking of a cruise originating in Fethiye? Are you searching for Fethiye in Turkey? Well, Fethiye is located at the head of its own gulf ENE of Rhodes. It was in ancient times called Telmessos, and in Ottoman times called Macry. It was re-named about eighty years ago in honor of Fethi Bey, an aviation pioneer who in 1914 attempted a 14-leg flight from Istanbul to Alexandria, Egypt, 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 charter cruise not to be forgotten. We can put you aboard a charter cruising gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, to show you ancient Lycia to the southeast and ancient Caria to the northwest. Omer Aga, an impressive crewed gulet available for charter cruising in Greece or Turkey or both. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey today at charteryachts@gocekturkey.com |
