SUMMER 2010– SCHOONER PARTIES ON CEVRI HASAN III
For singles, couples and friends – group size maximum 10
Cevri Hasan III
Gokova cove
Arykanda
Imagine waking in the morning with the sun streaming through the porthole and then slipping over the side of the boat for a swim before breakfast. And what a breakfast: irresistible Turkish yogurt and honey, eggs any way you want, fruit, cheeses, olives, luscious tomatoes and local breads. Anchor up, off you go to a beautiful bay for a swim, or potter about on a canoe. A delicious lunch follows, more swimming and sun and winds permitting, the sails go up, as we move along the coast to another magical setting for dinner and an overnight stay. Barbeques, endless different mezze and a wonderful variety of Turkish home cooking are all eaten under the stars. For the more restless individuals, there is an opportunity to go on shore every day, which may be a wild walk along a forestry trail, a visit to a local village or an important archaeological site, or a combination of these. Of course the trips are strictly optional – a DayDreams holiday is all about relaxation!
May 15-May 25 (10 nights/11 days)
Spring flowers and walking in the Gokova Gulf
The stunning scenery in this gulf is wonderful in April when walkers will find forestry trails carpeted with wild flowers and shrubs. We will also explore the archaeological site at Cnidos and the old village of Oren (ancient Keramos). Winds permitting, this is also a good area for sailing. The itinerary will start and finish at Bodrum.
September 7-17 (10 nights/11 days)
Bodrum to the Fethiye gulf
Leaving Bodrum, we make our way to Knidos, a fascinating coastal city dating from 360BC. We will then have time to explore the Hisaranu gulf before
making our way along the coast to the Fethiye gulf, finishing at Fethiye.
September 18-28 (10 nights/11 days)
The Lycian Coastline
The itinerary will start at Gocek with time to explore a few of the beautiful bays of the Fethiye gulf before travelling south east to Gemiler island, Kalkan and the fascinating Kekova area with its numerous ancient tombs and fascinating history. Time permitting, we also plan to visit the wonderful mountain site of Arykanda before returning to Kas to end the cruise.
October 3-13 (10 nights/11 days)
Our last schooner party starts at Finike. After visiting the stunning Olympos site and beach area, we will make our way to the Kekova area, then on to Kas, Kalkan, Gemiler island and finally Fethiye. There are many historic villages and sites along the route, easily accessible from the boat.
