Our Destination 

Turkey - a Gateway to a World of Possibilities.  

With its diverse landscapes, lifestyles and spirit of synthesis, Turkey links Europe to Asia. Different religions have co-existed in Turkey for hundreds of years, and the country is one of the rare examples where people with different beliefs have lived peacefully side by side. Turkish culture combines ancient artefacts, a living folklore and a modern soul. Every region in Turkey has its own charms. The visitor can enjoy a range of lifestyles, from unspoiled nature to urban living, while still missing out on none of the facilities of a well developed tourism industry.

Istanbul is one of the highlights of a cruise of the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean Sea. Many cruise ships use Istanbul as an embarkation or disembarkation point for cruises of the Greek Isles and TurkeyIstanbul with cobbled streets, shopping at busy markets, or sailing along the city’s gorgeous waterways, Istanbul is truly magical. The legendary capital first of the Roman Empire, then of the Byzantine Empire, and finally the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul is more than a modern metropolis or a vast, breathtaking outdoor museum. It is still today a place for the harmonic fusion of diverse civilizations-East and West, European and Asian, Jewish, Christian and Muslim.

           Anchor to Çanakkale port

Canakkale The Dardanelles is a 61km (28 mile) strait between Europe and Asiatic Turkey. The maximum width is 7km and in the area known as the Narrows, the distance is no more than 1,600 meters. The Dardanelles Straits are overlooked by high cliffs on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Here is the border-line where west and east often in history have clashed despite the efforts of the swift-running waters of the Hellespont to keep them apart. For the Black Sea, fed by the great rivers of Russia,continuously empties into the Mediterranean and in ‘ Narrows’ towards the south of the Dardanelles, produces a current almost insurmountable by sail from the south. To this fact Troy, in all probability, owes its origin.

Dikili is primarily a summer resort for families from Istanbul and Izmir.

Few sights match that of sailing into the Bodrum Peninsula… With rolling hills to either side of you, the crusader Castle of St. John juts far off into the sea, yachts and sailing vessels of all kinds docked right outside its walls. It is one of the most picturesque sites in Turkey. Although Bodrum was home to the “Father of History”- Herotodus, and to one of the Seven Wonders of the World- the Mausoleum, which has largely disappeared, today Bodrum is hardly all tranquillity, quiet, and picturesque views.
There is a vibrant, colourful nightlife scene, with famous late-night discos and bars making Bodrum a prime vacation destination on the South Aegean. So whether you want to relax or just let loose, Bodrum is a fantastic place to enjoy a little sun, a little fun, maybe some dancing, and probably a lot of wine, all in a stunning setting on the light-blue Aegean, and all imbued with that certain Turkish charm.cultural endowments and its highly attractive bohemian way of life. The major local arts include carpet and kilim manufacturing and the building of the special trilandil type of Bodrum through is an art within itself.

Yachts, and during the summer months this town of 18,000 may swell to over 200,000. The spectacular natural harbor sometimes seems faded in comparison to the rapid development that has occurred in the past several years, but Marmaris holds Turkey’s largest and most efficient yacht marina, so development  here, of course, was inevitable. You will certainly enjoy the view as you cruise in and out if this departure point for the “Blue Voyages”, and if you’re looking for a fun night out, you’ll be sure to find plenty of places happy to serve you an assortment of beverages in Marmaris’ raucous bar district.
