re you dreaming of a holiday at sea? Whether you choose the Mediterranean or the Aegean, a blue cruise in Turkey offers an unparalleled way to experience breathtaking historical sites firsthand. From ancient cities and amphitheaters to tombs, statues, and more, a Turkish blue cruise lets history come alive as you sail through the Eastern Mediterranean. Witness the remnants of Lycian and Carian civilizations stretching across the Aegean coastline, creating an immersive journey that blends natural beauty with cultural heritage.
What makes this experience truly unique is exploring these sites aboard a Turkish gulet. These handcrafted wooden boats reflect Turkish culture through their design, décor, and warm hospitality. Enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, savor local cuisine, and absorb the culture both onboard and at the destinations you visit. A gulet cruise allows you to experience Turkey in a way that is authentic, immersive, and unforgettable.
If departing from Bodrum, you can explore the preserved ancient city of Knidos on the Datça Peninsula. The Gulf of Fethiye offers ruins at Batik Haman and Tersane Island, with more archaeological sites than almost anywhere else along the southern coast, second only to Didyma near Kusadasi. Further east, Antalya Province is rich in history with Demre (Myra), Kekova (sunken city of Simena and Kalekoy), Xanthos, Patara, Olympos, and Phaselis. Every stop is a chance to explore centuries of civilization while enjoying the calm, turquoise waters of the Mediterranean and Aegean.
Gulet charters come in a variety of sizes, from intimate 12-meter boats to luxurious 56-meter vessels, each designed with personalized features and amenities. Whether you prefer a smaller, cozy craft or a spacious, full-service yacht, there is a gulet to suit every preference. Work with your agent to plan your ideal route, select your vessel, and prepare for a journey that combines history, relaxation, and unmatched beauty.
A Turkish blue cruise is more than a holiday—it’s a voyage through time, where every day brings new discoveries, stunning vistas, and an authentic taste of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Set sail and let the wonders of history unfold before your eyes!
