The Blue Cruise
is the best way to get rid of all your blues,
but that is not really how the name was coined...
The name originated in Bodrum in the late 1950's by a group of writers,
painters, and others interested in natural beauty and historical sites. The
Blue Voyage started in the Gulf of Gokova and later extended to include the
more distant southern shores of Turkey
With
over 8,333 kilometres of coastline and four seas, Turkey is a real treasure
chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches.
Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a Turkish gulet you can explore the
secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands of the spectacular
Turkish coastline. You will see a hidden Turkey, beautiful beyond belief,
and most of it completely unseen by the average tourist!
A Blue Cruise
combines sun, sea, history and hikes at various cruise destinations. You can
either relax in your swimming suit all day long, enjoy the good food and the
sunshine, or you can experience more exciting activities like snorkelling,
fishing, water skiing, banana rides or exploring the natural and historical
sites.
Sailing in Turkey allows you to experience a truly enriching cultural
exchange with the hospitable and gracious people of the coastal villages and
towns. The small harbours and settlements offer an intimate view of coastal
life which large ships cannot replicate authentically. In many ways a gulet
is like a full-service hotel where every room has a sea view and the scenery
changes constantly!
