Yachting

Turkey has four bordering seas: the Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea, whose waters surround Turkey to the south, north, and west. The beautiful bays, inlets, and beaches where yachtsmen can choose a different and private anchorage each night are another factor you can take advantage of. Therefore, it should not be surprising that cruising or yachting is a popular activity in the country.

There are many cruising charters available that can lend variety to your holiday in Turkey. Gulets, the Turkish traditional motor yachts, and gulet holidays are lately becoming increasingly popular. Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the azure coasts you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level, which brings about the uniqueness of your vacation in Turkey.
