Bodrum Yacht
Cruises
Located on the Aegean Sea in Turkey is
Bodrum. It
is the South Aegean’s prettiest resort and has been
described as the “Aegean pearl of Turkey.” Elegant yachts crowd
its ancient marina. You can charter one of
these yachts and take an unforgettable cruise along the
turquoise coast of the Gokova Gulf or go down to Marmaris
aboard one of the many Bodrum yacht cruises
available.
The Greek island of Kos is also a nearby popular
destination.
The busy Bodrum marina is a spectacle itself and
is host to the Bodrum Cup, a unique race for wooden
sailing yachts, which is held the every year in
October. The
Bodrum boatyard dates back to ancient times, and today,
craftsmen still build the well known traditional yachts,
the Bodrum Gulet.
Bodrum is a bargain shopper’s paradise offering
hand made leather goods of all kinds, natural sponges and
the local blue glass beads (Boncuk) all available in the
friendly shops along the narrow white-walled
streets. You
can also find kilims, carpets, sandals and embroidery as
well as original fashions. Bodrum is also home to
the Turkish are community so you could take home a one of
a kind work of art. There are many small dining spots and
night clubs with live music. The characteristic lively
and friendly Bohemian atmosphere is intoxicatingly
inviting. You have to experience this beautiful place to
understand the attraction.
I imagine, that if you are planning to partake
of one of the Bodrum yacht cruises, you are more
interested in a quiet relaxing vacation. Sunbathing
aboard one of these elegant yachts is the answer. You
will be able to swim in absolutely clear, tideless, warm
seas. You can scuba dive or snorkel and explore the
numerous reefs, caves, and majestic rock formations. You
will view the immense variety of aquatic life.
Yachting is
truly a memorable way to vacation. You have your own
captain and crew at your disposal. Most all the yachts
have every amenity you would want to make your trip
complete.
They even have a world class trained chef to prepare your
meals. Just imagine having your dinner specially prepared
for you and served on deck with the glistening turquoise
waters and sunset just off the bow.
There are
several companies that offer Bodrum yacht cruises and can
be found online. Some even offer an all
inclusive package that would include your airfare and one
week aboard one of these yachts, and of course all of
your meals.
