Turkey and Greece? Or Turkey or Greece? A bare boat catamaran on which to Blue Cruise in Turkey? Are you
thinking of a multi-hull charter sailing the southwest coast of Turkey? Of ghosting from one
pine-enshrouded bay to the next pine-enshrouded bay? Or are you dreaming of a bare boat catamaran charter
in Greece? Of a stable platform on which to ride the Meltemi from remote Greek island to remote
Greek island? Of a yacht on which to poke into coves surrounded by Greek blue and white? Or surrounded by
nothing at all? Or do you wish to sail both Greece and Turkey? How about sailing one or the other or both
aboard a catamaran with accommodations for eight or nine. How about chartering such a catamaran to cruise
Turkey's ancient Lycia. Or to sail Ligorio Assanti's medieval routes along the coasts of Lycia and
neighboring Caria. And among nearby Greek Dodecanese islands such as Nisiros. While you holiday. While
you holiday with a group of friends aboard a chartered catamaran proceeding leisurely from enchanting
locale to historic crossroads. Or while you cruise further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. As
did Assanti. Beyond Lycia and Caria. Ligorio Assanti was descended from the Assanti's of Ischia off the
coast of Naples. |
That family had in 1207 taken
the Aegean island of Nisiros in fief from Latin Byzantium following the Fourth Crusade sacking of
Constantinople. At the 1312 arrival of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, or Knights of Rhodes, Nisiros
was controlled by the aforementioned Ligorio Assanti and his cousin Giacomo Assanti, and they became
vassals of the Knights. Never quite satisfied with his lot, Ligorio Assanti was theretofore infamous for
preying on his neighbors including neighbors on Tilos and on the proximate mainland of Asia Minor. In the
year 1340, however, chaffing at Knights restraint, Ligorio's dissatisfaction went to an extreme. Equipping
a large galley he headed down the coasts of Caria, Lycia, and Pamphylia to Cyprus where he set upon
shipping from the Levant. Turkish shipping. Egyptian shipping. And Christian shipping from the city states
of Italy and from the kingdom of Cyprus. Outraged, the King of Cyprus reacted, seizing not Assanti's
elusive galley but rather property and commercial shipping of Assanti's Knight overlords. Summoned to
appear before a court in Rhodes Town, Ligorio Assanti pled in absentia a divine right stemming from
his princely status at Nisiros, then sold his half interest in the island to cousin Giacomo and disappeared
from the pages of history. With his loot. Would you not like to sail this crossroads of history! Starting
in Gocek. Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Well, Gocek is 25 minutes by road from Dalaman
