Turkish Gulet Cruises (Standard Gulets)
Explore the azure waters of the Turkish coast or the hidden bays of the Greek islands by taking a 'Blue Cruise' on a traditionally designed Turkish Gulet. These gulets are of wooden construction, vary in size from 15 to 30 metres and are motor-powered, although the sails will be hoisted when the wind and time permit. The small size of the gulets allows access to remote bays and archaeological sites that can only be reached by water, so if the idea of bathing on deserted beaches, swimming in crystal waters and enjoying the culture and undisturbed character of this part of the world appeals, then a gulet cruise could be for you. The fleet comprises two categories; Standard Gulets and Luxury Gulets which have the added benefit of air conditioning.
