Welcome to a Sailing Paradise
The
Mediterranean, Aegean, and the Black Seas, as well as the
Sea of Marmara, surround Turkey to the north, west and south.
With over 8333 kilometers of coastline and four seas, Turkey
is a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches from
which yachtsmen can choose a different and always private
anchorage each night.
The sailing paradise of Turkey is home to the Blue Voyage.This
idyllic cruise means sailing with the winds, into coves
and over the seas and becoming one with nature. It is also
an experience of the history of man from the perspective
of the sea rather than from the land, a journey which carries
you to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires
of Mt. Olympos and the myriad archaeological remains of
ancient civilizations. For lovers of the active life, sailing
in the clear waters provides the opportunity for swimming,
fishing, skiing, surfing and diving.
Sailing in Turkey also allows you to experience a truly
enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and gracious
people of the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds
which generally blow from the west and northwest make the
long summers ideal for yachting and seem to encourage an
appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's
unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising
to almost 3000 meters above sea level.
Fortunately, Turkey's modern facilities and comfort have
not overshadowed her ancient hospitality and slower pace
of life. The pleasure of yachting in Turkey will tempt you
back again and again, to explore yet another stretch of
coast and to relive the luxurious ease of life on the sea.
