The Blue Cruise sailing holidays in Turkey

A waterline view of the Aegean and Mediterranean

The mercury is pushing 90 degrees, you've got sand in your bathing suit and you've had enough of sun loungers and parasols. The best way to leave all this behind is on a gulet ; a traditional Turkish yacht.

The Turquoise coast is a wonderful mishmash of indigo skies, hidden coves, pine forests, cliffs plunging into crystal cobalt waters and the sweet smell of fig trees. all of which slips by leaving you to the serious business of eating, drinking and relaxing.

There are a number of ways that you can take to the sea; If you don't want, or can't afford, to charter an entire yacht you can take a cabin on a shared boat(though it's wise to meet up with your fellow crew first, just in case they turn you into a landlubber). Blue Cruise lets you book all this online, but most hotels and tour operators in Bodrum and Marmaris will also do it, as well as offering day cruises(a good way to test your sea legs).
