Turkey; Aegean & Mediterranean coasts

“I endowed cradles to Noah, swings and hammocks. 
Mother Eve was born only yesterday,
I am Anatolia, do you understand?” 
“Ahmed Arif”

The cradle of civilizations, a crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a heritage of humanity. If your views on culture and tourism encompass the creative legacies and best human values; welcome to your Turkish Holiday 2008.

Turkey is a country where all viable elements of indigenous Anatolian Cultures such as the Hittites, Phrygians and Lydians, the arts and culinary delights of civilisations past and present  are combined under the bluest of the skies,  surrounded on three sides by the Aegean, the Mediterranean and  the Black sea, making her the most vigorous place in the world.

A world famed and the only city that is located on two continents, Istanbul has been the capital to Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires and is the hub of thousands of years of history.

Anatolia, being the home of the oldest known human settlement and arts is where Ephesus and Mausoleum of Halicarnassos (Bodrum), two of the Seven Wonders of The Antiquity can be discovered on your Turkey Holidays. Of course you know that the word “Turquoise”, describing the most attractive Aegean and Mediterranean waters derives its meaning from the “Turk”.

In short; Turkey is one place where you will grasp the generic meaning of a holiday under the warm sun surrounded by history and eloquence on golden sands by the turquoise seas. It is definitely a pilgrimage for those who are connected to history and legends of Homer, King Midas, Herodotus and St. Paul the Apostle to name a few.

One of the best ways of beginning your journey of a life time is to take a Turkish Charter Cruise through the Aegean Mediterranean waters on a Gullet and we are sure you will come back for more discoveries for we know of no one who has not fallen in love with the landscape and the sound of cicadas after their first Blue Cruise along the Turkish Coasts.

THE AEGEAN & THE MEDITERRANEAN COASTLINE

The remarkably intact historical sites located all along the coastline, warmth of the sun almost all year round, calm turquoise seas and soft Meltem breeze will be the beginning of your love affair with Turkish Holidays. Pine and olive grove fringed coasts of the little secluded, unspoilt inlets, lagoons, coves and bays along the Aegean and the Mediterranean coast host an abundance of flora and fauna that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.

Each year, thousands of Holiday Makers, nature fanatics, photographers, sports enthusiasts, sailors and archaeologists, artists, writers, rich and famous and alike flock to Turkish Coast, whether it be to have a tranquil time or an action filled time or both, for a Sailing Holiday on a Traditional Gullet Cruise that is not merely a unique sailing holiday but a delightful journey through history and is cultural feast as well.

In contrast to the Aegean, the Mediterranean offers more for the history lovers for the majority of the remnants of the civilisations of the bygone era are located on the Mediterranean Coastline. However, the Aegean has the upper hand when compared in terms of the undisturbed coves and inlets tucked away along the Aegean Coastline like a pearl necklace.

To say the least though, we believe there is a different Aegean and Mediterranean for each and everyone. Just decide what you want to see and do on your Charter Cruise this year and your Agent will do the rest for your plan to run smoothly.
