 Bodrum
(ancient Halicarnassos) is Turkey's
premiere vacation town and the most
popular point of departure for Blue
Cruises. In addition to the laid-back
atmosphere and vivid nightlife of
this international resort town, other
attractions include the Castle of
St. Peter, which dates back to the
Crusades, and now houses a museum
of underwater archaeology, the Mausoleum
of Halicarnassos, one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World built
by King Mausolus, and an ancient Roman
theatre.
In this cruise, we sail south along
the Turquoise Coast to the peaceful,
exclusive town of Gocek, set at the
far northwest corner of Fethiye Gulf.
Along the way, we visit the Hellenistic
ruins of dramatic, windswept Knidos
and the Lycian tombs of Caunos. Shore
excursions are optional and may sometimes
require a small fee for overland transport,
guides or admission to archaeological
sites.
The star-filled skies, invigorating
sea breezes, pine-covered hills and
rays of golden sun playing among the
sparkling waters of secluded bays
are yours to luxuriate in. Relax,
savour all the timeless pleasures
sun and sea have to offer, and leave
the rest to us. You've embarked on
a Blue Cruise... |
