A gulet cruise on board a traditional wooden boat is the perfect way to enjoy complete relaxation – a truly authentic Turkish experience.
Lie back and enjoy the scenery as you cruise the crystal-clear waters, soak up the sun on the spacious deck, stopping off at idyllic bays to swim. From time to time you will stop off to explore charming villages and beautiful scenery – Turkey’s rich history is never far away.
Gulets are twin-masted motor yachts built in traditional style using quality teak and mahogany. They are tastefully designed and are air-conditioned with spacious sundecks, comfortable dining and communal areas and stylish guest cabins with en-suite facilities.
Life on board is unhurried and relaxed and a gulet cruise is a time for soaking up the sun, swimming in the clear waters, sharing meals al fresco and enjoying lazy days and evenings on board.
• Children aren’t usually allowed on board, unless you rent the whole gulet to holiday with your own group of family and friends.
• Our gulets have from 7-10 air-conditioned guest cabins all with private en suite shower and WC.
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared by the gulet’s chef from fresh local ingredients. Lunch is usually a light meal, made up of Turkish meze-style dishes and the evening meal is usually fresh fish or succulent meat. It is easy to cater for vegetarians.
• Meals are provided on a full board basis and complimentary soft drinks are included in the price of your holiday.
• Private hire is available.
