maroon links immediately above. Thank You. Are you searching for a charter schooner vacation
sailing Turkey? Or for a Surgun S? Why else would a search engine deliver you here? It must be the former.
You must be thinking of a yacht charter vacation sailing the Turkish coast. A coast of white-sand beaches
below sheer mountain drops. A coast dotted with isolated pine-encircled clear-water coves. You may perhaps
be similarly thinking of a classic schooner meandering from one |
archaeological site on the coast of Turkey's ancient Caria to another archaeological site on the
coast of Turkey's ancient Lycia. From whence many of Homer's Trojan heroes sprang. Or are you dreaming of
a cruise among remote Greek Aegean islands? Of a cruise from one harbor-side taverna at the foot of stacked
neo-classical structures climbing steep slopes to yet another harbor-side taverna painted in bright
Dodecanese pastels. Or to yet another harbor-side ouzeria painted in Cycladic blues and whites. Are you
already savoring the perfect octopus salad? An octopus salad accompanied by rich tzatziki? Or are you
considering both? Vacation sailing both Turkey and Greece? Well, both can be done! Why not do both aboard a
traditional gaff-rigged schooner with accommodations for eight couples. Why not charter such a reminder of
sailing ships gone-by to cruise ancient Lycia and its offshore Greek island of Kastellorizon. Or why not
vacation sail the fifteenth and sixteenth century tracks of Piri Reis along the coasts of both Lycia and
Caria. Piri Reis, that's him at the left, Piri Reis was mapping the eastern Mediterranean, as the image
below of the Turkish coast between Marmaris and Gocek testifies, and as in his sailing pilot called
Kitab-i Bahrieh which might be found on board your classically-rigged schooner. You would simply be
on holiday. Would you like to do this? Vacation at the crossroads of history? Would you like to have a
family-and-friends holiday aboard a crewed sailing yacht cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey and among
neighboring Greek Aegean islands? Would 
you like to have a group holiday aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from one fascinating locale to
another? Starting in Turkey? Starting in Marmaris? Or Gocek? Are you searching for Marmaris in Turkey? For
Gocek in Turkey? Marmaris is on the north shore of Marmaris Bay, the natural harbor at the left of Piri
Reis's chart. Gocek is in the upper left-hand corner of the deep gulf thirty-odd nautical miles to the ESE.
Gocek is also 15 road miles from its own international airport at Dalaman (DLM). There or elsewhere we can
put you aboard a traditional gaff-rigged schooner for the vacation of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a
charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you the flat sailing waters of Marmaris Bay and the
Gulf of Gocek, able to show you as well Francis Beaufort's 1812 mapping path down the coasts of Caria and
Lycia, able to show you Thomas Spratt's 1841-42 mapping tracks up the coast of Lycia and among Greek
islands. And the experienced crew can discuss Piri Reis, too, his history as a corsair in the employ
of his paternal uncle Kemal Reis, his abiding interest in geographical observations and cartography,
how he came to draw the oldest surviving chart of the Western Hemisphere, what he was doing at the age
of 89 commanding an Ottoman flotilla in the Persian Gulf, and what became of him. So, as well, can the
crew of Surgun S discuss the mapping activities of Beaufort and Spratt. Surgun S, a fine gaff-rigged
schooner available for vacation sailing through history. Contact Charter Yachts Turkey today
