Blue Voyage Discovery
Blue Voyage / Blue Cruise in Turkey Discover Turkey's
Turquoise Coast on a yachting holiday unlike any other.
Board a gulet (hand crafted wooden boat built to a
traditional Turkish design) and escape the rigours of
everyday life to spend your days soaking up endless
sunshine, napping, reading and relaxing, swimming in crystal
waters, snorkeling, fishing and windsurfing, visiting
ancient sites, whilst your crew tends to your every need.
This popular sea adventure began quite by mistake when a
political writer Cevat Sakir Kabaagacli was exiled to Bodrum
for publishing a story about army fugitives. The judges who
sentenced Cevat Sakir to a number of years in the remote
port knew nothing of its lifestyle, which as Cevat Sakir
discovered was something like paradise. He settled down and
adopted the name “Fisherman of Halicarnassus”, writing
stories about the town and its locals, in particular, the
fishermen.
On his regular outings with fishermen, he gradually got to
know the various coves and bays in the Gulf of Gokova. When
visiting intellectuals from Istanbul dropped in, Cevat Sakir
took the opportunity to introduce them to the fisherman’s
way of life. Together they constructed a theory of culture
which embraced the cultures of all the people who lived in
Asia Minor. Cevat Sakir’s tours of the Gulf of Gokova became
famous and were given the name, “Mavi Yolculuk” or “Blue
Voyage”. Cevat Sakir inspired this voyage of exploration –
the source of enjoyment for many thousandsBlue Voyage / Blue
Cruise in Marmaris of people for almost 60 years!
During the Blue Voyage, the places you visit are the wealth
of civilizations. Any cruising ground that you choose is
rich with historic sites, ancient cities and unique rock
tombs.
Only Blue Voyage will give you the chance to discover
countless hidden coves, undiscovered bays, sun drenched
sandy beaches and isolated villages, the private beach of
Cleopatra, Oludeniz, the rock tombs of Kaunos, the eternal
fires of mount Olympos, Myria rock tombs, the archeological
remains of ancient civilizations, that had also remained
under sea. The experience of seeing breathtaking panoramic
views of a sea which flows into shades of green and blue or
the sun slipping down towering mountains and slowly
disappearing into a golden hazed sea can only be described
as priceless.
During Blue Voyage you can go beyond the ordinary. Most of
us live in large cities where the city lights dull the
brightness of the stars. On the Blue Voyage you can see the
stars very clearly. If your Blue Voyage coincides with the
full moon, it is exceptionally beautiful in these parts.
When there is no moon, you are in for another treat,
Phosphor scene. It is the phenomenon created by tiny
creatures invisible to human eye. In the pitch dark when
moving in the water, it glitters when, for example you are
rowing. At the point where the oar touches the surface of
the water, there will be circles of light. The drops of
water splashing from the oars will drop on the surface of
the sea like a shower of stars.
Swimming on a pitch dark night is an incredible experience,
like a narcissistic pleasure. Now imagine you will be lying
on the deck and alone with stars while the sea is quite
choppy with in the gulf or imagine visiting fishermen's
villages isolated by the bay during the day. |
