During 2008, we
invite you to join us for an incomparable
Blue
Voyage along Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.
For thousands of years these shores have nurtured human civilization.
Now, they beckon to be explored -- to wander through the ruins of an
endless successsion
of cultures that gave birth to modern western civilization. The
natural beauty of these shorelines is unparalleled, and cruising
these azure waters provides an incredible escape from the ordinary worries
of life. Gather your family and friends and embark on an Azure
Odyssey.
Take
an adventure along the Turkish coast and discover a unique yachting holiday
unlike any other. Spend your days enjoying endless sunshine, swimming in
warm seas, visiting historical
sites, and being pampered by your crew. Cruise to a treasure-chest of
coves, inlets, and bays. Spend your nights anchored in protected coves under
a brilliant Milky Way. Dive into sapphire seas and discover fish swimming
among the ruins of ancient cities. At night, the sea shimmers. Time becomes
meaningless and it's easy to forget that a modern world exists beyond the
horizon.
A
day on the boat... Board a gulet and indulge yourself in the luxurious ease of life on the sea. Gulets are a modern version of an old Turkish design. The yachts have spacious, uncluttered decks with space for lounging: Sunbathing, reading, relaxing and napping are the routine. The Turks are famous for their hospitality, and your crew is devoted to providing you with a relaxing vacation. Begin the morning with a swim or a stroll among ancient ruins. Indulge in a breakfast full of Mediterranean specialties. Sit back and relax as your crew takes you to a new spot. Spend an afternoon shopping in a coastal village, visiting a historical site, or exploring the crystal blue waters surrounding the boat. Try to catch a fish for dinner, or find a local fishermen who has already succeeded. Tell us what kind of Azure Odyssey you want, and we'll do our best to make your wishes come true.
Dining
...East and west meet in turkish cuisine. Fresh vegetables and fruit abound. Enjoy borek (savory Turkish pastry stuffed with meat or cheese), sun-drenched tomatoes and melons, olives, fresh seafood and many other delectable dishes. Your crew makes food appear throughout the day. The morning commences with tea and coffee and progresses to a typical Turkish breakfast of fresh bread, jam, fruit, cheese, eggs and olives. The main meal arrives in the early afternoon. One day's culinary delight could be lentil soup with zucchini fritters and lamb kebabs: The next might be stuffed eggplant with fresh greenbeans and a tomato salad. Tea arrives in the late afternoon. The day concludes with cocktail hour and dinner shortly after the sun sets. Following the meal, passengers can digest their meal while enjoy a night sky overflowing with stars.
