Turkey is often considered just as a sunny holiday resort. It most certainly has much more to offer. Its history dates back to some of the greatest civilizations in the world, from the Hittite Empire that occupied Central Anatolia nearly 4,000 years ago, Turkey has been home to some of the most influential ancient cultures that the world has ever had. The Persians, the Lycians and Greeks all came and left stunning ruined cities and tombs. The Library at Ephesus is one of the most famous sites of the ancient world and the city of Troy, home of the legendary Helen and location of the mythical Trojan Wars of Homer, is perhaps the most evocative places on earth. Add to this the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, the churches of Cappadocia and the city of Istanbul there is enough to keep you busy for many visits.

With over 5,000 miles of coastline along the four seas, Turkey is a treasure chest of coves, inlets, bays and beaches at which yachtsmen can choose a different and private anchorage each night. The sailing paradise of Turkey is also home to the Blue Voyage. This idyllic cruise means sailing with the winds, into coves and over the seas and becoming one with nature. It is also an experience of the history of man from the perspective of the sea rather than from the land, a journey which carries you to the private beach of Cleopatra, the eternal fires of remains of ancient civilizations. For lovers of the active life, sailing in clear waters provides great opportunities for swimming, fishing, skiing, surfing and scuba diving.
