in Greece. Or for a crewed rental yacht sailing holiday cruising the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. You may
be dreaming of a Blue Cruise. Or of Cleopatra's Honeymoon Route. Perhaps on your own honeymoon or
anniversary. Honeymoon, anniversary, or otherwise, you might like to charter a sailing yacht to cruise
Cleopatra's Route up Turkey's Turquoise Coast and among Dodecanese and Sporades Islands of Greece.
Cleopatra's honeymoon took place beginning |
in 32 BC and ended the following year. It occurred some years after her marriage to Marc
Antony, a marriage which might not have been recognized in Rome where Antony had another wife. It was also
some time after birth of their three children, but it was the first occasion Antony had been free of
harassment by Parthians or Armenians or other discontented subject peoples. Cleopatra and Antony
honeymooned aboard four royal barges accompanied by a large number of Roman galleys such as that depicted
to the right. They came up from Alexandria pausing often, as was the nature of barges and galleys, to
collect taxes, to gather food stuffs, and to rest. History does not tell us all of the places they paused
along the Turquoise Coast but it does mention Arycanda, Patara, Lydae, Loryma, new Knidos, Cedreae, Kos,
Ephesus, and Samos, and one might well imagine it also included wealthier cities such as Side, Aspendos,
Perge, and Phaselis. But if not Cleopatra's Route you might wish to cruise Artemisia's 480 BC track with
fifty Carian triremes from Bodrum along the Aegean coasts of Turkey and Greece to Salamis, near Athens,
with just as many pauses en route. Artemisia was at the time satrap or queen of Caria, and it was at the
battle of Salamis that the Great King Xerxes said, "today men behaved like women and women like men." Do
you already plan to holiday in Greece or Turkey? Would you like to holiday aboard a sailing yacht chartered
in Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? For Kekova Roads in Turkey? For Finike or Roman Arycanda
in Turkey? For the magnificent theater at Aspendos? Well, come aboard Lady Christa II, a crewed charter
sailing yacht offering a holiday merging the first and twenty-first centuries. Come aboard a charter yacht
with an experienced crew able to show you Cleopatra's Route from Side to Samos and beyond, to show you
Artemisia's track from Bodrum to Greece. And able to discuss the several men in Cleopatra's life as well as
Artemisia's heroics admired by the Great King at Salamis. A proper crewed yacht available for charter in
Greece and Turkey. Contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at
