What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further
information concerning gulets sailing Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the maroon links
immediately above. Thank You. Could you be searching for a new ketch-rigged gulet sailing Turkey and
Greece? Or are you searching for Palmyra, Syria, the oasis once ruled by Julia Aurelia Zenobia? If a
holiday-goer, you may be searching for a yacht chartering in Greece or Turkey. Or you may be searching for
travel information concerning the oasis. If not a holiday-goer, you may be searching for Palmyra, New York,
a town in Wayne County named for the oasis. If the latter you have definitely come to the wrong place. This
page deals primarily with a new ketch-rigged gulet sailing Turkey and Greece and to a much lesser degree deals
with the oasis and its queen. It does not deal at all with Palmyra, New York. This web page describes the
charter gulet Palmyra sailing in Greece and Turkey, a large oak-framed wooden yacht sailing on the wind in the
Aegean and eastern Mediterranean, a handsome mahogany-appointed ketch sailing Greece and Turkey in the wake of
those gone before. Should you be hoping to sail in the wake of earlier oak-framed wooden vessels, you have
come to the right place. This page deals with those wakes |
turning
into pine-encircled clear-water coves, passing between sugar-cube encrusted islands. But this page also deals
with windsurfing on Greece's azure Aegean. With kayaking along Turkey's Turquoise Coast. With dining alfresco
on the deck of your yacht. And with dining alfresco on the stoop of a taverna fronting a caique harbor. Dining
on octopus salad. On the perfect octopus salad. How about doing most or all of these things aboard or from a
crewed motor-sailer with luxury accommodations for twelve guests? How about chartering a crewed sailing gulet
such as Palmyra? How about beginning your holiday with a cruise along the Turkish coasts of ancient Lycia and
Caria? Or with a cruise along the Turkish coast of ancient Pamphylia? With a cruise in the 3rd century AD
wakes created by Roman galleys escorting Julia Aurelia Zenobia along the south coast of Asia Minor and across
the Aegean, the Emperor Aurelian's prisoner en route to Rome. Some believe the Turkish word gulet
derives from galley. How about sailing those galley wakes while you holiday aboard a gulet? While you
have an extended-family holiday aboard a crewed sailing gulet cruising these same waters? Or while a group of
friends holiday with you aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from one historically and scenically
fascinating locale to another? Julia Aurelia Zenobia, it might be noted, had inherited her oasis, officially
the Palmyrene Empire, upon the death of her husband in AD 267. Known as the Warrior Queen, she two
years later conquered Egypt, from which time she was also known as Cleopatra. Not yet satisfied she
marched into Asia Minor, knifing through the Roman province of Asia and reaching Chalcedon (modern Kadikoy)
on the Bosphorus opposite Byzantium (later Constantinople). This was too much for Aurelian, and Julia Aurelia
(no relation) Zenobia's short-lived empire came to an end in AD 273. But not so Julia Aurelia Zenobia. Taken
by her dark-eyed beauty the Roman emperor broke her chains, endowed her with the means to live a life of
comfort, and remanded her to a posh villa in the suburbs of Rome where she became a prominent socialite. Why
not charter a sailing yacht to sail in Julia Aurelia Zenobia's wake. To cruise Turkey's ancient Lycian and
Carian coasts before jumping off into the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands of Greece. Starting in Antalya. In
Pamphylia. Are you searching for Antalya in Turkey? Well, Antalya has its own international airport, and in
Antalya or elsewhere we can put you aboard a ketch-rigged gulet for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you
aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you Cleopatra's tracks along the coast of Turkey
and among Aegean islands of Greece. The tracks of both Cleopatras. Palmyra, a superb ketch-rigged
gulet sailing Greece and sailing Turkey. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey today at
