Cruise on a 50 meter yacht in Turkey

Day 1: Bodrum
When departing from Bodrum its best to start with something sensational to kick off the vacation, that why gulet sailing to the Gulf of Hisaronu and onwards to Kos, which is due east and close by will be a wonderful way to whet your appetite for all the wonderful mysteries that lie ahead. Imagine the Odysseus and look down into the clear blue sea as your yacht sails over horizons that have served mankind for millennia. What was once the garden of Neptune is now your grazing ground.

Day 2: Palamutbuku
Next destination of boat charter Turkey is Palamutbuku. At the tip of the southern coast of the Datca Peninsula of Turkey nestles the lovely town of Palamutbuku. This amazing quiet town, close to the historic ruins of Knidos, is home to some of the most desired long and quiet beaches, green streets, and walled gardens. Like a fairytale town come to life, as you walk along the seaside and look down into some of the clearest waters in the Aegean. In fact, you can walk well into the sea, and be able to see every stone and fish around your feet even when the waters reach head high. The sea is full of fish and many a dinner is caught just moments before it is on your plate, served alongside exceptionally tasty local produce. What is still wonderful is that this coast is still virgin from all the expected tourism, and the town hosts many wonderful taverns and restaurants, as well as the amazing residents that make your stay even more memorable.

Day 3: Aktur Bay - Bencik Bay
Aktur bay in the Datca peninsula has received an amazing accolade as the best bay for Turkey gulet cruise holidays.  This is some achievement and should not be discounted. Aktur is located between Datca and Kurucabuk and is the narrowest part of the peninsula. Two spheres of water held at bay by a slim slice of land. The Persian army back in 550BC (Xerxes and the 300) built a tunnel so he could connect directly to the Gulf of Gokova to speed up his fleets attacking capabilities. Today Aktur bay is a vision of beauty that many try to emulate, perhaps that is why it is awarded so highly.

Day 4: Emel Sayin Bay - Orhaniye Bay - Selimiye Bay
Next destination of boat charter Turkey is Emel Sayin Bay. Named after the famous Turkish singer, Emel Sayin bay is an amazing crystal clear aquamarine bay that is contrasted against thick pine trees covering the land around it. The bay was named after her beautiful blue eyes, and is a memorable place for a lovely cool swim and brunch.
