BLUE VOYAGE TOURS ON THE TRADITIONAL SCHOONER (GULLET). LOOSING YOURSELF IN THE BLUE

The Blue Voyage is a type of tourism particular to our country. The amazingly beautiful bays lined up along the Mediterranean and Aegean Coasts, the hidden paradises that can only be reaches by the sea, the hospitality of the Anatolian people, the unique antique cities and of course, the pleasure of being on the sea, are the main elements that make the Blue Voyage so special. The tours are made on schooner-yachts. The schooners that accommodate 14-20 persons at the most, are products of traditional wood and hand works. The yachts initially built for the fish and sponge hunters have gone through a long process until attaining their present modern and comfortable conditions. Although the schooners are known as motor-yachts, they can move by sail as well. A pretty large sun deck occupies the front section. The mid-ship is reserved for the enclosed area containing the bar, kitchen, seating arrangements and the dining tables. In the stern is an open deck with a canvass shade, dining tables, seating arrangements and the helm; the cabins are in the lower decks. Almost all of the cabins are the same size and equipped either with a double bed or single bunk set, a closet, drawers, shower stalls with a shower hose in the bath-tub or complete shower stalls. Some of them are even fully air-conditioned.
