If your plans include enjoying a peaceful and scenic yacht charter vacation in Turkey, a beautiful local region such as the Gulf of Hisaronu is a great area to consider. Equally, the Gulf of Gokova is just as stunning with clear and clean waters, plenty of private bays, and little coves to unwind at.
During the high season months, these two areas offer a pleasant strong breeze that comes from the north called the Meltemi winds. The winds are strong, but in the heat of the summer, it feels nice after a swim in the Southern Aegean waters. Although these winds can create rough seas, they also make for clear blue skies and a rich blue sea.
Weather typical for the Meltemi is characterized by the absence of humidity, dry air, and very clear visibility. This is fantastic because it allows you to see your stunning environment from a completely different perspective. The sea might sometimes get a bit wavy, but this adds an extra dimension to your blue cruise, especially when you sit on the bow and feel the Meltemi blowing through your hair.
Orhaniye village is a great anchorage spot during gulet cruising. Travelers have a variety of options for Turkish yachts (gulets) to enjoy these areas. For instance, if you happen to be a medium to large-sized group, you may prefer a sturdy gulet during this windy season.
