page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human
beings. Further information concerning gulets on holiday charter in Turkey and Greece may be obtained
by clicking on the gray links immediately above. Thank you. You must be searching for a schooner
or gulet on holiday charter in Turkey or Greece. Otherwise you should rephrase your search term. Could
you be considering a charter cruise along the coast of Turkey? Are you hoping to anchor off of and swim
along a white sand beach? Or along two or three white sand beaches? Are you into archaeology and history?
Could you be looking for a crewed charter yacht with accommodations for as many as ten? Ten including
children in need of instruction in history and archaeology? Could you or they be dreaming of a crewed
vessel on which to cruise Turkey's ancient Lycia? As did Lycia's own Payava? The fourth century BC
warrior-aristocrat whose tomb was in 1843 removed by Charles Fellows from Xanthos to the British Museum?
Or could your dream be to sail Francis Beaufort's 1811-12 track along both the Lycian and neighboring
Carian coasts? The Beaufort of wind and sea-scale fame who while surveying the Turkish coast took a
musket ball in his groin? And lived to be forgiving about it? Would you like to do this while on holiday?
Would you like to have a family-and-friends holiday aboard a |
schooner-rigged sailing gulet cruising the shores of Turkey as did Payava and Beaufort?
Shores frequently referred to as the Turquoise Coast? Payava's tomb depicted to the left has been
archaeologically dated to between 375 and 360 BC. A sarcophagus decorated in elaborate relief, one of
its panels depicts a horsed Payava victorious over light infantry appearing to be Greek peltasts.
As Athens was in this period licking Peloponnesian and Corinthian War wounds, however, the peltasts must
have been in the employ of someone else, and the only someone else at war in Lycia during those years was
Pericles of Limyra. This would-be king briefly wrested much of Lycia from Persian control before
disappearing from history about the time of Payava's tomb. As another panel on the sarcophagus depicts
Payava in the company of the Persian satrap ruling post-Pericles Lycia, it seems likely Payava was the
mainstay of a successful Xanthian resistance. A mainstay who outlived Pericles!!! What do you think about
a holiday aboard a charter gulet proceeding leisurely from enchanting pine-shrouded cove to historically
fascinating locale? And at these places speculating about history? Or were you really thinking of Greece?
Of a blue cruise along azure sea lanes between pastel-hued Dodecanese Islands and blinding-white Cyclades
Islands? Or both? Have you decided you wish to Blue Cruise in both Turkey and Greece? Francis Beaufort
cruised in both Turkey and Greece. Later to become Hydrographer of the Royal Navy, Beaufort in 1811-12
surveyed Aegean islands of Greece as well as the coast of Turkey, not merely Lycia and Caria but the entire
southern coast of Anatolia to what is now Iskenderun (Alexandretta). Would you or some in your group not
like to sail in his wake, the wake created by H.M.S. Frederickssteen, a 32-gun frigate captured from the
Danes at the Battle of Copenhagen. Beaufort's navigational charts became the standard two hundred years ago
and are still in use today!!! Or would you prefer to charter a sailing gulet to cruise Greece alone? The
Cyclades in Greece? Santorini? Paros? Using a Paros chart based upon the surveys of Beaufort's friend Thomas
Graves? All of this starting in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, Gocek is about 42
nautical miles ENE of Rhodes Town and 15 road miles from its own international airport at Dalaman. In Gocek
or elsewhere we can put you aboard a schooner-rigged gulet for a Blue Cruise in Turkey or Greece or both.
There we can put you aboard a motor-sailing gulet for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a
charter gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the tracks of Payava and Beaufort along the coast
of Turkey and among Greek islands. Ariva III, a superb schooner-rigged gulet on holiday charter in Turkey
and Greece. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at
