What is The Blue Voyage ?
Cruising the Aegean Coast began as a fad among Turkish intellectuals and a few of their foreign friends in the late 60's.
This form of holiday making, dubbed the "Blue Voyage", was then more an intellectual pursuit than a more vacation.
It was indeed, a cult.

The Blue Voyage is an adventure that takes you to magic of myths three millennia old. You walk on the prints of
Aphrodite's nimble feet, visiting a ruin, listening to the breeze playing pan's flute while dozing in a pine-shaded cove.

To the sensitive, the uniqueness of the sensations evoked by the experience of any particular moment is revealed
once more in the memories. The Blue Voyage is no passing affair.

No Voyage is a dejà vu, each time, of visited cove whispers a new secret, lays bare a new allure.

What is Gulet ?
The Gulets described previously as yachts which evolved from traditional wooden craft are typical to Turkey.
The Number of passengers a gulet carries varies, according to size, between 8 and 18, most of them
accommodate 8 to 16 people.

On a 17 to 25 meters boat, that is quite a breathing space for each person considering that every passenger has
private quarters and jointly used decks, saloons etc. are quite spacious. This combines the relative privacy
expected of a yacht with the feeling of security a bigger vessel affords There are double beds in each cabin has
its own WC and shower. The crew sleep and use the facilities in their separate cabin.

The crew consist of a captain, a cook and a deckhand who are experienced in their work. The durations of
the daily cruises are aimed to be as short as possible letting the passenger have enough free time to spend as
they wish.

Life on Board
The modern gulets offer the perfect atmosphere for a lazy holiday in which you are expected to do nothing that you
do not wish to do. Days are spent swimming, reading, eating, drinking, sunning, playing cards and generally relaxing. Everyday the scenery keeps changing from bay to bay.

Anchoring in a cove and trekking in the wild nature, visiting a nearby village and coming closer to the native people
and their traditions.
