Hills of
different sizes with vineyards and sunflower fields as far as the eye can see.
This is the region of Turkey known as Trakya. It is separated from the rest of
Turkey by the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Dardenelle Straits. |
South of the majestic Taurus Mountains, lie the shores of the Mediterranean
Sea with its beaches of fine sand, its vistas of uncommon beauty, its many ancient
ruins, its hidden coves and alluring vacation getaways.
|
This
central region of the country hosts a number of interesting sites. Currently the
center of modern Turkey's political life, it has been the center of a number of
important culture and civilizations in the past.

With its high mountain
ranges, plateaus, plains and lakes, its creek and river beds splashed with hues
of purple, brown, gray, yellow and red, and some of the best Turkish architecture
anywhere, this region of Anatolia is like a historical documentary on ancient
life.
|
If one were to claim
that the most scenic vistas in Anatolia can be found on the coasts of the Aegean,
he could not be accused of exaggerating. In the words of Heredotus, the Aegean
coasts "have the most beautiful sky and the best climate in the world.
|
Beaches that seem to go on forever,
mountains covered with verdant green and picturesque valley and plains.
Fields of tea, hazelnuts, tobacco and corn. The winding blacktop road
following the near strip of beach bounded by steep mountains falling, it
would seem, straight into the sea. |

Voyage is a Mediterranean classic for
yachting and sailing through of the Aegean and the Mediterranean. The
waters that once were the medium of trade for ancient civilizations. The
numerous boat, gulet and yacht services that you would give yourself
opportunity to explore the silent and relaxing bays, hidden coves, and
warm yourself under the Mediterranean sun. A "Blue Cruise" is -first of
all- a lovely escape from the drabness of daily life for a period. On
the Blue Cruise one sails along the southwestern Turkish coastline, into
solitary bays, crystal clear and virgin waters, picturesque small
villages and places of antiquity. Wherever you come from and however old
you are, after a week or two at sea, you'll become one heart with the
nature. Both flesh and spirit will be healty and happy.
