Gulet cruising which is also known as Blue cruises or Blue Voyages has a long history in Turkey. A group of Turkish writers joyfully started in 1920s jaunts on traditional wooden gulets and they inspired a new traveling passion: gulet sailing holidays. Set sail into phenomenal bays to swim by ancient ruins, race with the dolphins, eat like the sultans - or just chill out, far from the land and all its cares.
Gulets are traditional motorized sailing yachts that are converted into comfortable cruising vessels.
During the high season in summer, the gulets are fully booked so make sure you book in advance.
Itineraries may vary slightly due to sea and weather conditions to provide ultimate safety and comfort for the guests.
