As you’ve probably noticed, travel is a great bonder of friends and families. How many times have we seen a gathering’s joy level kick up a few notches with the words “Remember the time we went to . . .”?

This private sail aboard one of our sweet gulets is the kind of unforgettable experience that makes travel such a canny investment. We think our Turkish sails—grandly restful, beautiful, comfortable, and fun—are eminently worthy of your attention and dollars. Our boats are quite simply the finest available, as our many voyagers will attest.

In the words of our Turkey team: “This is the trip that dreams are made of . . . sailing aboard a comfortable gulet-style yacht with your favorite people, wandering the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The rich cultural legacies of Turkey’s ancient civilizations combined with breathtakingly beautiful landscapes make it a veritable travel paradise. Enjoy the relaxation of sun, turquoise waters, and Mediterranean cuisine, interspersed with hikes, kayaking, or snorkeling jaunts, and of course explorations among classical ruins and visits to seaside villages.”

The itinerary summarized at the bottom of this page is a sample and can be customized according to your exact dates of travel. Depending on location and availability of the gulet, the itinerary may be done in reverse. Please call us at (800) 777-8183 for further details.


Why GeoEx is the Best in Turkey Travel
Expertise. We know Turkey like no other travel company. We’ve had a wide range of trips to this fascinating country for years, offering Cappadocia, eastern Anatolia, trekking in the Kackar Mountains, and a host of unique private journeys. If there’s more you’d like to see, we can easily make the arrangements.

Traditional, solid gulets. These boats are the newest and best the country has to offer. You’ll find wood and cloth chairs, cloth covers, good cabin size, private bath, hot water all the time, and a change of linen mid-trip.

Kayaking and snorkeling equipment. You’ll find plenty of both in great working order.

The best tour leaders. Ask anyone who’s traveled with them and the response is loud and clear: our earnest and impeccable cast of guides – Enver Lucas, Mahmut Turhanoglu, and Murat Tiryaki – is the cream of the crop.
