Why we like it
By choosing to cruise around Greece and Turkey you access some of the best parts of these countries and, with the ability to moor away from harbours and large resorts, you can really enjoy the pristine and peaceful locations along the coastline. Additionally, staying on a boat means no carrying luggage, no catching ferries and no need to pack and unpack as you move around. Plus your crew are in control of your daily needs from dining to what to do next, therefore there really is nothing left for you to do except relax and enjoy your holiday to the full.

Moreover, footprints of cultures from the Greeks and Romans to crusading medieval knights, and from Byzantine and Ottoman potentates to 20th-century Italian bureaucrats are all found here. Snorkel the islet of Telendos, visit the churches on Lipsi Island and dine at the tavernas of Pandeli, the oldest fishing village on the island of Leros. Relax and go with the flow on your fully staffed, traditional gulet.
Fixed Departure Gulet Cruise
Experience the comforts of a high-end, small yacht at an affordable price by booking on a cabin-only basis. The boat is not privately chartered so will have a set departure date which is normally a Saturday. The guests you join on board are international, bringing together like-minded travellers, often of similar ages, in order to create the best-shared experience possible.
Children from eight years upwards are welcome. This sailing option is normally available between May and October, excluding August. The yachts vary in size from four to eight cabins and a professional crew prepare local meals on board when not eating ashore. Optional time spent onshore includes imaginative excursions and hiking opportunities.

Bodrum - On Dry Land
We recommend a stay at a Bodrum hotel for a further three nights to allow ample time to discover the Bodrum Peninsula, the ancient city of Halicarnassus and world-renowned Ephesus. Additionally, explore the growing success of Turkish wines with a visit to Karnas Vineyards near Bodrum. A private guide and driver can be arranged for you to maximise your experience and time on the Turkish mainland. Let us help you choose a hotel that suits your style.
Private Gulet Charters
If you are planning a multi-generational holiday or celebrating in style why not privately charter a luxury gulet in Turkey for group sizes from four to seventeen.
