Description

Sailing the clear turquoise waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas on this beautiful Turkish Blue Cruise Coast must be one of the best holidays ever invented.

A wonderful combination of relaxation, sightseeing, alfresco eating, drinking and of course sailing along this stunning coastline. Whether you spend your time snorkelling, using the onboard canoe and windsurfer or catching up on your reading you are sure to have a great holiday.

The Captain and crew expertly handle this traditional sailing gulet, East Meets West leaving you free to explore the secluded coves and bays. You'll have no worries about cooking meals, sailing or dropping anchor.

Wine and dine under the sun and stars, enjoying excellent fresh Turkish cuisine cooked every day by the onboard chef, vegetarians can easily be catered for. Your day will start with a traditional Turkish breakfast still enjoyed by families across Turkey . Enjoy a lunch which includes local Mezes such as Dolma, Kofte and salads. Afternoon tea is often accompanied by cake baked by the Captain if you are especially lucky! Dinner is often fish, meat or chicken enhanced by herbs and spices which are used liberally to flavour the Turkish kitchen.
