A Fore-And-Aft Rigged Schooner Charter Cruising Turkey And Greece A Gaff-Rigged Schooner Charter Cruising Turkey And Greece This page last updated on 03/16/2007 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 motor sailing yachts charter cruising Turkey and Greece may be
obtained by clicking on the gray links immediately above. Thank You. Could you be searching for
a yacht called Sirena? Or are you searching for that elusive mermaid of the same name? Are you dreaming
of charter cruising in Turkey or Greece? Or of snaring that enticing beauty? Would you prefer cruising
from secluded clear-water cove to secluded clear-water cove along the Turkish coast? Or would you prefer
cruising the Greek Aegean? Of cruising from one Greek island to the next, from a seaside taverna in
Leros to a seaside taverna in Kalymnos? Or would you like to |
do both? While trolling for that charismatic siren last seen in the Pacific but now
thought to have made her way to the Aegean? Perhaps cruising the coasts of ancient Ionia and Aeolis,
the Aegean coast of Turkey once home to the jovially rotund Salih Reis but now, as noted, thought to be
home to the alluring creature depicted at the left. If the latter, you might consider cruising
Cleopatra's honeymoon route along the coast of neighboring Caria and among Greek Dodecanese islands, as
what once attracted the Egyptian siren may now be attracting Sirena. Cruising while you troll under an
Aegean sun. And while your children beat a path through Aegean history. Or while a group of your
friends holiday with you aboard a charter yacht proceeding at trolling speed from one idyllic locale to
another. Or while you cruise further into the azure Aegean in your search. To the Cyclades in Greece's
mid-Aegean. Or while you cruise further along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. In any of these events
also cruising in the wake of Salih Reis, a Barbarossa lieutenant sometimes known as Salah Reis, with
reis meaning captain. Salih Reis was born ca 1490 on the plain of Troy to Greek parents
likely descended from Trojans there 2700 years earlier. He was raised on the same sea that brought the
galleys of Agamemnon across from Aulis, and almost three millennia later he embarked on a galley career
himself. Sailing under a letter of marque issued by the Porte in Istanbul, Salih Reis cruised the
entire Aegean in pursuit of Venetian shipping, pausing at Venetian occupied islands to wreak additional
havoc, both activities an expression of religious angst belieing his Zorba-like grin and bear-like
roar. Later he joined Aruj Barbarossa in Algiers, raided the coast of Spain with Kheir-ed-Din
Barbarossa, and followed the latter into Ottoman service under Suleiman The Law Giver, commanding a
wing of the Ottoman fleet which at the Battle of Preveza put Andrea Doria to flight. Are you searching
for Troy in Turkey? For Ephesus? Cleopatra reached Ephesus on her honeymoon with Marc Antony, going
from there to Samos in the Greek Sporades. We can put you aboard a motor sailing yacht for a holiday
cruising the same coast of Turkey and the same Aegean islands of Greece. We can put you aboard a
charter yacht with an experienced crew able to show you the Turkish and Dodecanese Aegean, able to
