The ultimate way to experience Turkey's intriguing coastline is by taking a "Blue Voyage", a uniquely Mediterranean style of cruising. This is a relaxing sailing trip along the Aegean and the Mediterranean coast, through impeccably clear turquoise waters, in and out of countless isolated bays and coves, visiting the harbors of small picturesque villages and weaving along a coastline rich in mythological ruins of distant times gone by.

A great portion of these ancient sites are thankfully 'undiscovered', appearing almost untouched, as there are not many highways in the region.

Even today, some of these coastal areas are only accessible from the sea. All the sights combined on the Blue Voyage offer a truly unforgettable experience - one where nature and history blend in a unique way.

The Blue Voyage is taken aboard a "gulet" - a traditional pine wood yacht, with a pointed fore and round aft, with a double or single mast. The recommended occupancy for the cruise is between 8 to 12 people. Modern gulets are comfortably equipped with all the necessary amenities.

Private Charter

The more intimate way to enjoy the Blue Voyage with a pre-formed group is by reserving a private yacht charter. Having a private yacht at your own disposal allows a closer exploration of the secluded and often deserted bays and coves of the coastline.

The small harbors and villages offer a good insight into coastal life, which large ships fail to replicate authentically.

Supplementary land excursions can also be added to the yacht charter, both pre and/or post-Blue Voyage. AdelphiaTours01

As there is a huge variety in the type of yacht available, we recommend you to contact us beforehand with the specifications of your group and your schedule, so that we can present you with the optimum selection of yachts, from which to make your choice.

Cabin Charter

The more affordable way of taking the Blue Voyage is to rent a cabin in a pre-scheduled yacht, the duration of the voyage usually being one week. The cruises are generally operated in 20-25 meter wooden vessels (60-80 Ft), with between 5-10 classic Mediterranean style cabins. Each cabin has an en-suite bathroom with hot and cold water, a shower and a small amount of space to store luggage.

The boats usually cruise by engine and the cruising time is normally limited to 2 or 3 hours per day. Overnight moorings are generally made in tiny coves about 20-30 meters close to the shore, where pine trees approach the sea. The crew consists of a captain, a cook and one or two deckhand's, all of whom are highly experienced in their work and responsibilities. Crews' cabins are separated from those of the passengers. Ensuring the continued comfort of guests is their main priority.
