A Motor Sailing Gulet On Blue Cruise In Croatia And Montenegro Another Motor Sailing Gulet On Blue Cruise In Turkey And Greece This page last updated on 07/05/2008 Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page.

Further information concerning motor sailing gulets on Blue Cruise in Turkey and Greece and elsewhere may be obtained by clicking on the gray links immediately above. Thank You. What search words have you just used? Blue Cruise Turkey? Or gulet sailing Greece? If so, you must be searching for a charter sailing gulet such as Silver Star II. If not, you found Silver Star II anyway. Take a look. See if you like the concept. Which country is it? Greece or Turkey? Are you considering or would you consider a Blue Cruise along the Turquoise Coast of Turkey? Are you contemplating or would you contemplate a swim in crystal-clear seawater at the foot of pined slopes? Or are you dreaming of a Blue Cruise between remote Greek islands in hot pursuit of the perfect tzatziki? Could you even be hoping to charter a gulet to do both Greece and Turkey at once? How about doing one or both aboard a crewed charter gulet with spacious teak decks and comfortable accommodations for four couples. A ketch-rigged sailing gulet on which to cruise the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey. Or on which to sail among neighboring Dodecanese and Sporades islands of Greece. Or both. While you holiday. While you have a family-and-friends holiday combining sun, fun, and history. Perhaps cruising the tracks of galleys flying the colors of the Knights (Hospitallers) of Rhodes (nee the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem). Or cruising the tracks of Knight prey such as Ilyas Reis. While you have a family-and-friends holiday aboard a ketch-rigged gulet proceeding leisurely from one historically intriguing locale to another. While you charter a sailing gulet to cruise further into the Aegean. To the Greek Cyclades. As did Ilyas (Elias) Reis. Have you heard of Ilyas Reis? He was one of six children born in the late fifteenth century to Greek parents living on the island of Lesbos in the Sporades, the father a former Ottoman janissary, the mother of Andalusian roots and widow of a Greek Orthodox priest. Three of the four brothers including Ilyas became sea captains (Reis). The other two Reis were known as Barbarossa because of their auburn beards. Ilyas, an Orthodox Christian by roots if not upbringing, lost his life in a sea battle with Latin Christian Knights of Rhodes. But only after a free-booting existence some called piracy. Why not charter a crewed gulet to cruise some of the ports and anchorages free-booted by Ilyas Reis. Starting in Mytilene, the principal port of Lesbos. Or Bodrum, ancient Halicarnassus, where one of his brothers was briefly imprisoned in the dungeon of St. Peter's castle. Or you might prefer Cesme in Turkey, a hop, skip, and jump due east of Greek Chios. That's not far from Izmir International Airport. There or elsewhere we can put you aboard a crewed sailing gulet for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you azure sailing waters off the western coast of Turkey and between neighboring Sporades Islands of Greece, able to show you Ilyas's path through the Aegean to Candia (Crete). Candia, then ruled by Latin Venetians, is the locale in which Ilyas is said by Latin sources to have met his maker, his relatively small galliot trapped by the Knights' great galley Our Lady Of The Conception. Silver Star II's crew is able to show you the Knight's route from Rhodes Town to Khalki to Karpathos to Kasos to the city of Herakleion (then also known as Candia) in pursuit of Ilyas Reis.
