Another Gulet On Crewed Charter In Turkey And Greece Still Another Gulet On Crewed Charter In Turkey And Greece This page last updated on 12/27/2007 Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning gulets on crewed charter in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the gray links immediately above. Thank You. This page deals with a crewed gulet chartering in Greece and Turkey. With a gulet on crewed charter among Aegean islands of Greece and along the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean shores of Turkey. With Blue Cruises in Turkey and Greece. With yacht charters along Turkey's Turquoise Coast, exploring that pine-clad shore from secluded bay to secluded bay. With sailing in Greece, with cruising azure sea between one remote Greek island and the next. So, should you be searching for some or all of these things, welcome to a web page concerning a crewed gulet with accommodations for ten guests. A gulet with green sail covers rather than blue. Green the color of the House of Osman rather than Fort Lauderdale's favorite. Which is a bit strange because the only Peri with whom history is acquainted had serious problems with the House of Osman. Or perhaps it was more vice versa. Notwithstanding the problems of Peri Reis (not the cartographer and Ottoman admiral Piri Reis), how about chartering a crewed gulet called Peri to cruise the gulf-indented coast of Turkish Caria and among nearby Greek Dodecanese islands, or to sail in the wake of Peri Reis along the shores of ancient Aeolis and Ionia on the Turkish coast below the Dardanelles. While you holiday. While you holiday with family or friends or both aboard a crewed gulet cruising the west coast of Turkey. Or while you have a group holiday aboard a crewed gulet proceeding leisurely from enchanting Greek locale to historic Greek locale. Peri Reis cruised these waters for the eighteen years between his first appearance in history to his death in 1535. He also cruised the Greek Cyclades in mid-Aegean. Reis means captain, corsair sea captain, in this instance, and Peri Reis was a freelancing corsair sea captain who in 1517 rebelled against Ottoman (Osman) Sultan Selim I, Selim the Grim, one month after the sultan's conquest of Mameluke Egypt. Strange timing, you might think! Tweaking the nose of a victorious sultan! With fellow rebels Bronzus and Suleiman Tachialis, Peri Reis in October 1517 descended on the Genovese island of Chios then enjoying the protection of Sultan Selim, made a pact with the Genovese authorities, and kidnapped 400 resident Turks whom he intended to sell into slavery. Departing Chios his group of 24 galleys and galliots moved on to Lesbos, Ottoman since 1462, and threatened a galley anchored there carrying Alvise Mocenigo, a Venetian ambassador en route from Alexandria to Constantinople. An Ottoman galley! You, too, can cruise among these islands now Greek. And along the adjacent coast of ancient Aeolis. And south past Turkish Ionia to Turkish Caria. Why did Peri Reis menace a Venetian ambassador embarked on an Ottoman galley en route from Ottoman Alexandria to Ottoman Constantinople? History suggests he hoped to profit by his aggressiveness. But he did nothing at the time, instead moving on to plunder Ottoman Euboea and Ottoman Attica. But fourteen months after threatening Mocenigo at Lesbos Peri Reis was found lurking in the sea lane between Chios and Tenedos hoping to intercept the same individual again embarked in an Ottoman hull and again headed for Constantinople. Did Peri Reis know something?!? History does not tell us what Peri Reis knew. History does tell us that Alvise Mocenigo had in 1517 negotiated a capitulation with Sultan Selim under which Venice was obligated to pay Turkey 40,000 gold ducats representing five years of annual tribute from the island of Cyprus formerly payable to the conquered Mamelukes. It seems a good guess this is what Peri Reis knew or suspected. Unfortunately for both Peri Reis and for the Ottoman Porte, Venice failed to pay in either 1517 or 1518, and so this corsair captain had to do without. Are you searching for Mitilene in Greece? Well, Mitilene is the old name for Lesbos and the current name for the principal town on that island. Peri, not Peri Reis, can take you there for a holiday not to be forgotten. Blue Cruise Yacht Charters can put you aboard a motor sailer with an experienced crew able to show you Peri Reis's many tracks near the Dardanelles, between the Dardanelles and Antalya, and between Rhodes and the Morea crisscrossing the Aegean. Would you not like to cruise this crossroads of history? To sail in Peri Reis's azure tracks or those of other sea captains? Would you not like to sail in the wake of corsairs, Muslim and Christian? From pine-shrouded cove to remote Aegean island? Of course you would! Do it aboard Peri, a superb gulet on crewed charter in Turkey and Greece.
