Gulet Cruise, Turkey
|
 |
|
A gulet (pronounced 'goolett') cruise is, in our opinion, one of the best holidays ever to have been
invented. It's a wonderful combination of sightseeing, al fresco eating and drinking, swimming in a
huge, crystal clear pool (the Med!) and, of course, cruising along one of the Mediterranean's most
beautiful and photogenic coastlines. Add to all this a series of picturesque coves, magnificent scenery,
snorkelling and sunbathing and you have the kind of holiday you can only dream about on cold, wet,
winter evenings. However, decisions have to be made once you're on board but, luckily, they all fall into
the feelgood category. A swim before or after breakfast? Fishing or snorkelling? Front or back tan? And
so it goes on, day after day after day. No e-mails, no TV, no traffic, no worries - bliss! In our view, a
gulet cruise is the ultimate in holiday enjoyment. Simple pleasures, no stress or strain and, above all, a
wonderful feeling of getting away from it all.

Your Travel One gulet offers a truly memorable cruise beginning and ending
in Marmaris. There is no fixed itinerary as such although a similar route is
taken on most cruises (see map and typical itinerary below). No two days are
the same but a fairly typical day may go along the lines of, first, a leisurely
breakfast followed by a couple of hours' cruising before dropping anchor in a
secluded bay for swimming, snorkelling and lunch. Afternoon cruise, again for
a couple of hours, and then anchor for the night either in a quiet bay or close
to a small harbour with, perhaps, the opportunity of going ashore. Dinner, of
course, will be on board. The cruise itinerary is always dependent on weather
and operational conditions and is always subject to the captain's approval.
There are usually 8 small but comfortable cabins on board, all with private
sh/wc. There's a sunbathing area with sun mattresses, a saloon / bar, a shaded
afterdeck for meals and drinks, a music system, a galley, snorkels & flippers
and a tender-boat.
