Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What

information concerning bareboat charters sailing Turkey may be obtained by clicking on the gray links
immediately above. Thank You. Are you thinking of bareboat charters sailing Turkey? Of a
bareboat sail meandering on or off the wind from pine-shrouded cove to pine-shrouded cove? Or of
bareboat charters sailing from one archaeological site to the next? From one visual display of history
to the next visual display of history? How about doing one or the other or both aboard a charter yacht with family accommodations and
more. How about chartering a Gib'Sea 37 to sail the Gulf of Gocek's flat water. On the border between
ancient Lycia and ancient Caria. At the crossroads of history. Where Cyrus the Great trod. Or how about
sailing the Gulf of Telmessos. Telmessos, where Alexander the Great paused. While you holiday. While
you holiday with family cruising the Turkish Mediterranean in relative isolation. While you holiday
aboard a charter yacht proceeding leisurely from enchanting locale to historical crossroads. Does that
sound like charter sailing in Turkey! Or what! Why not charter a Gib'Sea 37 to cruise further along the
Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Along the Turquoise Coast. To Kalkan, Kas, and Kastellorizon. As did
Francis Beaufort in 1811 and 1812. Starting in Gocek. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For
Fethiye in Turkey? Well, they may be found at opposite inland corners of the large gulf 35 nautical
miles east of Rhodes Town, with Gocek fifteen miles by road from the international airport at Dalaman.
There we can arrange bareboat charters sailing Turkey. And Greece! We can put you aboard a charter
yacht and show you the flat sailing waters of the Gulfs of Gocek and Fethiye, show you Alexander's
Path down the coast of Lycia, show you the route of Cyrus's generals along the coast of Turkey, or
show you Francis Beaufort's mapping route past the Seven Capes to Patara and further. Beaufort, he of
wind and sea scale fame, later Royal Navy Hydrographer, termed this entire coast from Caria to Cilicia
after its dark ages ruler. Karamania, he
called it, in honor of the post-Seljuk, pre-Ottoman Turkish state which held sway here in the 13th, 14th,
and 15th centuries, writing a best-selling travelogue entitled, you guessed it, Karamania. "For,
besides its tempting proximity to the borders of Europe, and its easiness of access, this once flourishing
region seems to have eminent claims to attention: it was colonized by that redundant population of antient
(sic) Greece, which had gradually spread over the rest of Asia-Minor, and which had every where introduced
the same splendid conceptions, the same superiority in the arts, that had immortalized the parent country:
it was once the seat of learning and riches, and the theatre of some of the most celebrated events that
history unfolds: it was signalized by the exploits of Cyrus (depicted at left) and Alexander" Nothing of
the foregoing has changed. Come see for yourself. Come bareboat charter sailing in Turkey. Come bareboat
charter sailing in both Greece and Turkey. Yes, Greece, too! Come sailing to Greek Kastellorizon where
Beaufort discovered Egyptian merchantmen loaded with Anatolian pine to warm the hearths of Alexandria.
And where he also discovered a warm Greek welcome. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today
