The azure waters of
the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea surround
Turkey to the south, west and north, making a treasure chest
of coves, inlets, bays and beaches in which yachtsmen can
choose a different and private anchorage each night.
The sailing paradise
of Turkey is also home to the Mavi Yolculuk, or Blue Voyage,
an idyllic cruise which travels to the private beach of Cleopatra,
the eternal fires of Mount Olimpos and the remains of thousands
of ancient civilisations.
Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality
of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered
winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers
ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation
of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and
sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost
3000 meters above sea level.
