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 schooners cruising the Turkish and Greek Aegean may be obtained by clicking on the gray links immediately above. Thank You. Could you be searching for a luxury yacht charter along the Turkish coast? Or for a schooner-rigged yacht cruising the Greek Aegean? Could you be considering a motor-sailing gulet charter embarking in Turkey? Gulets, of course, also charter in Greece, and have done so since Greece opened its national waters to foreign-flag commerce four years ago. Are you hoping to cruise among Greek islands under an Aegean sun? Or would you prefer to go sailing in Turkey? Are you dreaming of isolated pine-shrouded coves along Turkey's Aegean coast? Perhaps you would like to do both, sail Turkey and sail Greece. On the same holiday! Both can be done. Why not do both aboard a luxury charter yacht with accommodations for five guest couples? You might like to charter such a yacht and begin your holiday by cruising ancient Lycia, home of so many of the Iliad's Trojan heroes. Or begin by sailing Black Hassan's early 16th century corsair track along the Aegean coast of Turkey and among Greek Aegean islands. This Black Hassan, unrelated to the corsair of identical name fifteen years his senior, did it with a squadron of fast galliots preying on Latin shipping and Latin communities. That was before taking his squadron to Algeria and proclaiming himself Emir of Cherchelle. With the Ottoman Sultan's blessing, of course. Would you like to sail this corsair's track while you holiday at the crossroads of history? Or would you prefer to simply cruise with family and friends or corporate associates from port to port? You might like to charter a luxury gulet to cruise further into the Aegean. To the Cyclades. Or are the nearer Greek Dodecanese far enough? Starting in Turkey? Starting in Bodrum? Or Gocek? Are you searching for Gocek in Turkey? Or are you wondering about Kara Hassan? Black Hassan? He met his end in 1516 at the hands not of Latins but of Aruj Reis, the eldest of the brothers Barbarossa. Shortly thereafter Aruj, too, had the blessing of the padishah. With or without a blessing we can put you aboard a crewed luxury yacht for the holiday of a lifetime. We can put you aboard a charter gulet with an experienced crew able to show you the tracks both of Black Hassan and of Aruj Reis, to show you Freya Stark's 1952 track from Izmir through the Dodecanese and along the coasts of Caria and Lycia to Phaselis in the Gulf of Antalya, to show you Cleopatra's 32 BC honeymoon route west along the south coast of Asia Minor and among Greek islands. And we can discuss where Cleopatra was headed and why. So, too, can the crew of Xenos III, a luxury schooner cruising the Turkish and Greek Aegean.
