| YACHTING IN TURKEY |
| Yachting holidays have grown in popularity in recent years & are an ideal way to just 'get away from it all,' enjoying the guaranteed sunshine and crystal clear waters of the Aegean. Turkey's pine-covered, southwest coastline is surrounded by turquoise blue waters. Three hundred fifty miles of unspoiled, natural beauty embrace a peninsula scattered with many small islands. Our home port of Bodrum is a seaside resort only 45 minutes from the Greek Island of Kos. Archeological ruins and historic sites abound, & This truly is an outstanding area for yachting enthusiasts. The ancient port is lined with palm trees and its centerpiece is her famous castle, built in the early 15th century by the Knights of Rhodes. Today BODRUM is regarded as one of the best holiday spots in the Mediterranean. There are ample possibilities for entertainment, foo& fun at our many beaches, outdoor cafes, and restaurants, and the night life at charming local bars and taverns continues until the sun rises.

| The "Blue Cruise" concept is identified with one of Turkey's most beloved literary figures - Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli. Cevat Sakir, known as the "Fisherman of Halicarnassus," was exiled to Bodrum in 1962 because of his political beliefs. He fell in love with this area, & became curious about the cultural history of Bodrum. He began to sail in a rented sponge diver's boat, called the "Yatagan," deciding to rediscover the Aegean Coasts made immortal by Homer. Thus, the "Blue Cruise" was born. On today's Blue Cruise, we sail along the Bodrum and Gökova coasts in southwestern Turkey. You can swim, fish or enjoy other water sports in the pristine seas of uninhabited coves, & walk to archaeological ruins accessible only by boat. It is a truly memorable way to get close to the unspoiled character and culture of this beautiful part of the world. The port of Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, is a year-round resort located at the juncture of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. A center for sailing, Bodrum is the site of the extremely well-preserved Castle of Saint Peter. Built in the fifteenth century by the Knights of Rhodes, the Castle now houses a renowned museum devoted to underwater archaeology. Since CaravanTurkey is located in lovely Bodrum, we are well positioned to organize a famous "Blue Cruise" for you! |
