|  Gocek
is a favorite with international yachtsmen,
who appreciate this fashionable, unspoiled
town's first-rate facilities. Although
easily accessible overland and just
22 km from an international airport,
Gocek has determinedly maintained
its exclusive status as Turkey's foremost
harbour for discriminating Blue Cruise
passengers.
In this cruise, we travel south from
the rocky shores and hidden coves
of the southern Aegean to the sandy
beaches and Roman ruins of the Western
Mediterranean. Along the way, we visit
magical sites in both regions, including
the super-salinated Oludeniz lagoon,
Hellenistic, Roman and Medieval ruins,
thriving former fishing towns and
the submerged ancient city of Simena.
Shore excursions are optional and
may sometimes require a small fee
for overland transport, guides or
admission to archaeological sites.
As always, 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,
savor all the timeless pleasures sun
and sea have to offer, and leave the
rest to us. You've embarked on a Blue
Cruise... |
