One way to fully explore the pleasures of the eastern Mediterranean is taking up a blue cruise in Turkey. There are many hidden marvelous bays and coves along the Turkish coast and which are unreachable by motor vehicle but with a gulet cruise you will certainly do so. Gulets are beautiful wooden ships that were originally used for fishing but are now specifically created for cruises and sport. They feature just about all the modern amenities you may need for a fabulous time at sea. Most feature several spacious cabins (usually 6 to 14 depending on the size of the ship), shaded cushioned seating, as well as relaxation areas at the stern deck and sun beds at the foredeck.

Turkish gulet charters provide super luxury cruises as they proffer a more intimate sea experience as compared to conventional cruise lines. This is attributed to their smaller sizes as well as their sails meaning that in gentle wind conditions (which are characteristic of Turkish and neighboring waters) you can sail silently across the sea as compared to being propelled by an engine. Gulet cruises are also more flexible with regards to their schedules and trips and this allows guests to fully enjoy indulging in activities such as fishing, swimming, snorkeling and even jet skiing in the different bays and coves they encounter while on their exploratory trips to the cradle of civilization.

You will have everything you need aboard your gulet charter; breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided although you can opt to have your meals at the different ports of call which are not too far off from each other. Stops at such ports will let you enjoy magnificently clean white beaches, sample different cuisines at the numerous outdoor restaurants, enjoy shopping and different nightlife, plus mingling with the locals on every day of your sailing tour. Simply put, a blue cruise in Turkey makes for an apt definition of pure pleasure at sea.

Turkish blue cruises usually last 8 days and 7 nights and they are available in several options. If you are planning to travel with your family or friends you can opt for a private gulet charter whereby only your traveling party and the ship's crew will be onboard. Though quite a pricy option it gives you the advantage of planning your own itinerary. A cabin charter is suitable for the individual and it gives you the opportunity to meet new people. There is also the budget option especially in the low season. You can easily secure fantastic deals for your blue cruise in Turkey by going online to gulet charter websites and which also serve as the booking points for selected private gulets.
