The magic of a blue cruise begins when you board and set off to explore the beautiful unspoilt coastline of south-west turkey. Your yacht is usually a traditional wooden, handmade turkish gulet with comfortable cabins, showers and dining facilities.
These days most are also equipped with air conditioning so you can duck out of the heat for a cool snooze if you like. The layout of these boats consist of a broad spacious deck which allows plenty of room for you and you family or friends to stretch out and sunbathe, watch the stunning scenery, eat and drink around the large table or just enjoy a chat or a good read.
Colors of the sea alternate between a deep blue and magnificent turquoise, sometimes even green. The water is so clear that even in depths of 10 meters the sea bed is visible with splendidly colorful fish and occasionally even dolphins and sea turtles can be seen following the yacht.
The daily experience of setting off on a new adventure to enjoy the crystal clear waters is just such a relaxing journey that it is incomparable.
The blue voyage offers the perfect escape from the rigors of everyday life. As you sail along on the simmering blue waters of the Aegean sea your daily stress is completely forgotten. This is an ideal holiday for the family and close friends. The relaxation of swimming and snorkeling or just sunbathing on the deck or reading a book in the shade is totally soothing enabling you to simply let go of all your cares.
There are so many interesting places to visit while cruising in the Aegean. You can visit Xanthos, which was once the ancient capital of Lycia. Remains of the Lycian civilization can be seen by skin diving at the island of Kekova. Another worthwhile place is the castle ruins above Kale and the ancient city of Phaselis.
Towards Antalia on a cruise is the half hidden ancient city of Olympus with it's nearby amazing flaming mountain Chimera. At this incredible place fire spontaneously erupts from holes in the mountain. Chimaera was another Lycian city, and is named after the mythological son of Typhon. According to Greek legend the monster named Chimaera was killed by Bellerophon who mounted the winged horse Pegasus and attacked the Chimaera with pails of molten lead.
The most logical reason for the flames however, is that it is natural gas escaping through cracks in the rocks, but interestingly scientists have not been able to determine the chemical make up of this curious gas Blue Cruise Turkey.
A blue cruise can be a complete holiday by itself or can be an add-on to your package vacation. Either way it is a special experience which you will treasure for your whole life. Wherever you may come from, and however old you may be, after a week or two afloat in this scenic paradise you will become refreshed and invigorated by your vacation.
The coastal region of south west Turkey is dotted with hundreds of islands, bays and coves just waiting to be discovered. Blue cruise are available from Bodrum, Marmaris, Gocek, Fethiye, Kas and Antalia. You can choose anything from a day trip to a two week cruise. The fully crewed cruising gulet will be fully stocked to supply your every need. It is usual that the price will include all meals but drinks are charged as an extra.
On a week or two week cruise, travelers sail along the southwest Turkish coast, often being escorted by schools of dolphins. The stop-overs at small harbors and delightful bays are is a perfect tonic for body and mind alike!
