Get a true taste of Turkish life, as you explore Turkey's beautiful coast by gulet, cruising its picturesque ports, swimming in azure seas or taking in magnificent scenery as you sunbathe on deck. With a bar on board and dinner served under the stars, what more could you ask for?
Description

Facilities
Meals
Meal times are flexible and tend to take place at a time agreed by all the passengers. Dinner is the highlight of the day, as you sit under the stars enjoying a leisurely meal. The chef will prepare delicious food, consisting of salads and fruit, grilled meat and, occasionally, fish caught that day.
The gulet is stocked with a selection of drinks, which you will pay for at the end of your cruise, in either Turkish Lira or Sterling, but not credit cards. For something different, you may wish to wander ashore and enjoy the local nightlife, where available.
Please note: you are not permitted to bring your own drink on board, and lunch and dinner are not included on your last day.
