Hunting & Yachting

http://www.turkyacht.com/cms/hunting/

TROPHY HUNTING SAFARIS has the biggest and the only reserve (119.000 ha) in Turkey, having a border to the Mediterranean Sea. This place is a reserve with full of wild boars that never heard a gunshot before.

Sea, sun and the natural unspoiled beauty of our Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, moonlight and huge tuskers, these are the essentials for a delightful hunting with a traditional luxury gulet boat!
The friendly captain, his crew and our professional wild boar guides will keep their eyes open for you during this exciting cruising trip. On board, you and your friends will feel in a dream while shifting from bay to bay. Starting prior 10-12 days of your arrival our 1×1 hunting guides will start their jobs to feed the tuskers on the route of your sailing trip on land in collaboration with the captain of your yacht. So when you arrive, all that your captain needs to do will be to anchor or tie the yacht to one of the pine trees leaping to the sea at a bay closest to the tusker’s feeding spots.

Cruising along the beautiful rocky coastline, you will be in the untouched bays of the wild, admiring the breeze of the pine forests and the striking flora of the Mediterranean coasts.
Now and then you may cool yourself in the crystal clear sea water snorkeling, the beauties of the depths and enjoy the sun on the deck with its mystical natural beauty with your family or friends. You may enjoy your lunch or dinner in a small local fishermen’s restaurant with daily caught fish and good wine. And the nights are prone to your wild boar hunts.

When the sun is set, our guides will be waiting for you to take you for a short drive where the tuskers come every night for their regular nightly feast.
You will be surprised to find out about the advantages of travelling with a yacht in reaching the unspoiled corners of the mountains leaning to the sea.
Do not miss this exceptional adventure together that comes with an unforgettable hunt.

Discover Greek Islands and Turkey

http://www.turkyacht.com/destinations/greece-charter-destinations/greek-islands/discover-greek-islands-and-turkey.html

 Bodrum

Boarding starts at 15:30 from Bodrum Harbour. On the first day, our gulet will remain anchored in Bodrum Port for dinner and stay at the port an overnight.
Bodrum is the ideal starting point for sailing the Aegean coast of Turkey. The Gokova Gulf is acknowledged to be one of the best cruising areas in Europe. With abundant sunshine, crystal clear waters, continuous blue skies, good anchorages and friendly people, this coast offers many diversities. There are many unspoiled areas rich in natural beauty and in costal settlements and villages.
Bodrum is a port city in Mugla Province, in the south western Aegean Region of Turkey. It is located on the southern coast of Bodrum Peninsula, at a point that checks the entry into the Gulf of Gokova. The city was called Halicarnassus of Caria in ancient times and was famous for housing the Mausoleum of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Bodrum Castle, built by the Crusaders in the 15th century, overlooks the harbour and the marina. The castle grounds include a Museum of Underwater Archeology and hosts several cultural festivals throughout the year.

Kos Island, Kos Island

After breakfast, you will be informed about the cruise itinerary and the gulet. Then we will cruise to Kos Island.Kos Island is really well worth visiting. Kos is the island that gave the world Hippocrates, the father of medicine. The third largest island of the Dodecanese, it is a very green island with an excellent infrastructure and large roads lined up with palm trees. During your visit to Kos Island, you must certainly visit the ancient ruins of the city that are numerous and remarkable, the ruins of 'Asklipios", the 'Castle of the Knights'and the huge tree of Hippocrates (trunk diameter is 11,5 meters!). On Kos you will find some of the finest beaches in the Dodecanese islands of Greece. With many archaeological sites in and around the town, Kos is the ideal place for walking or cycling. Dinner and overnight stay at Kos Island.

Pserimos Island, Leros Island

We will cruise to Pserimos Island early in the morning. Pserimos is an islet located between Kos and Kalymnos, about six nautical miles north of Kos and close to the Turkish coast. The total area is only about 15sq km and there is only a handful of permanent residents, around 100 who rely on fishing and tourism.
The island is a popular destination for tourists who arrive from Kos or Kalymnos on small excursion boats or pirate-type tourist ships that arrive daily throughout the summer. Pserimos is a good day out for those wishing to avoid organised beaches of Kos or Kalymnos but the beach, though large, can get crowded once all the day trip boats arrive.
The beach is wide, deep, very sandy with shallow waters well sheltered in the deep bay and lined with beachside tavernas and cafes that catch the daily trade. There is a small harbour for boat mooring. There's not much to see beside the single sandy beach though tracks lead over the rocky treeless hills to small coves. Then we will cruise to Ada Leros Island.
Leros is an island with a very healthy climate ideal for a quiet holiday. Evergreen, with many inviting coves and beautiful sandy beaches, Leros relaxes the visitor with its tranquil landscape. Not very touristy, the main port of Lakki is one of the best examples of Art Deco architecture in Greece. It was designed by Mussolini's architects in 1923 and although in defiance of the dictator's wishes, the capital was subsequently moved above the village of Platanos. The rest of the island is green with stunning beaches and large bays. Leros is the ideal home base for sailing trips to the coast of Turkey and the other Dodecanese islands. Dinner and overnight stay at Leros Island.

Patmos Island

We will cruise to Patmos Island early in the morning. Known as the Jerusalem of the Aegean, Patmos island is the holy island of Christians, where the Apocalypse of St. John was written. Visitors of this Dodecanese island today are split into two groups, the first half that still come to the island because of its religious significance and the second half comes here to enjoy the lovely beaches, the serenity and the unique character of the island and its people. Patmos is a quiet island at night, but a busy stop by day for the many cruise ships that have made it a port of call. Patmos is a spectacular island with great beaches and a unique landscape, an island where tourism until recently was low-key but has been growing steadily. Don't miss the unique Easter celebrations (Greek Orthodox Easter) where you will have the chance to see a staging of Christ's Last Supper. Also, take an evening stroll through the narrow streets of Hora or Chora and watch the sunset from Kastelli hill. Dinner and overnight stay at Patmos Island. 

Lipsi Island

We will cruise to Lipsi Island early in the morning.Lipsi is a tiny island covered with white washed houses and little churches with blue domes. It is an island where cars are almost non-existent and where most of the local life takes place at the island's port. Lipsi is a very beautiful and authentic island of the Dodecanese where during the day you can watch the fishermen beat octopuses on the quays that will be served later that night in one of the many cafes set on the tiny port. Dinner and overnight stay at Lipsi Island.

Kalymnos Island, Kalymnos Island

We will cruise to Kalimnos Island early in the morning. Kalimnos is best known as the island of some of the world's finest sponge divers. Although Kalimnos is a developing tourist centre, you can still see the sponge fishermen at work even today and you can still experience the islanders' traditional way of life.
On this beautiful island of Kalimnos in the Dodecanese, you can take nice walks, swim in beautiful caves, and discover lovely beaches and unspoiled scenery, an example of which is the authentic village of Vathi hidden in a beautiful green valley. Due to its mountainous landscape, Kalymnos is also one of the best places to practice mountain climbing!
Also, most of the beaches of Kalymnos are equipped with water sport facilities. The wonderful sunsets over the tiny island Telendos are not to be missed - they are on par with those of Santorini! Dinner and overnight stay at Kalimnos Island.

Turgutreis, Karaincir

We will cruise back to Turkey via Turgutreis. We will have a swimming stop at Karaincir on the way back to Bodrum. Karaincir is a 500 metre stretch of soft golden sand which is great for all the family. The tranquil blue water is invitingly calm, and also offers a number of watersports from banana boats to pedaloes. You can also soak up the relaxed ambience around the beach from one of the many sun loungers made available, whilst sipping on a refreshing drink from one of the venders. Then our boat will cruise back to Bodrum Port for the last day's dinner and an overnight stay.

Bodrum

Upon agreement, the guests will leave the gullet with precious memories by 10:30.

Gulet Charter Bodrum


bodrum gulet charter

gulet charter & cruises from bodrum Bodrum is the ideal starting point for sailing the Aegean coast of Turkey. The Gökova Gulf is acknowledged to be one of the best cruising areas in Europe. With abundant sunshine, crystal clear waters, continuous blue skies, good anchorages and friendly people, this coast offers many diversities.

There are many unspoiled areas rich in natural beauty and in costal settlements and villages. It is still possible to observe local people going about their lives in traditional Turkish village fashion. Blue Cruise was started in Gökova Gulf on Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı’s regular outings with fishermen. He sailed various caves and bays in the Gulf of Gökova and fell in love with the deep blue. He become well known around the region and many people were excited of sailing around, inspired by him.

Imagine yourself on a comfortable yacht, lying on the deck in the depth of the sea, sailing along the magnificent coasts. Swimming in warm crystal clear waters, diving, surfing, skiing, fishing or resting on the sandy beaches of touristic towns and historical ports are just a few of the highly recommended attractions on Blue Cruise. Once you leave the harbour, the vast expanse of the Gulf of Gokova stretches before you, this area alone has enough stunning places to visit for at least a week of sailing.

Sedir Adalari (Snake and Castle Island) is well known for Cleopatra’s Beach, which she is believed to have made for her lover Anthony with sands shipped from North Africa. The nearby bays of Kesr, Sogut and Degirmen Buku, located in the far east of the gulf are all spectacular anchorages. Sailing south, guarded by the Greek island of Symi, is the Gulf of Hisaronu, which means Gulf of Fortresses, a reference to the many ancient and medieval forts scattered around the hills of the Gulf. Dacta, being the largest village in the gulf and an ideal place to provision between Marmaris and Bodrum, is well worth a visit as it is still relatively untouched by tourists and very picturesque.

HISTORY OF GOCEK



yacht rentals turkey

Gocek is one of the ancient Lycian settlements found between those of Fethiye and Caunos. Regrettably there are only a few ruins remaining from ancient Kalimche. The main settlement area is unknown; therefore no further excavations have been made to search further. Gocek is still keeping its secrets, as historical writers have not disclosed the region’s assets and history in detail. Examples of rock tombs, monuments and baths can be found in the bays and along the Fethiye highway.

There are also some ruins on the Tersane islands belonging to both ancient and recent history. One can well imagine the Daidalos and Ikarus legends to be true for Gocek if its geographical situation is examined. The locations of the ancient cities of Krya, Lisai and Lydai can be found on the Kapidag peninsula that can be reached by boat. Boat trips to these places operate regularly and although the region has not been excavated fully, several objects have recently been recovered from these settlements.
