Not to long ago, I had the opportunity to spend a week on a Turkish gullet. It was a fantastic week! The experience is one I hope to never forget. Turkish gulets are custom-built for cruising and set up for relaxing and enjoyment. I am convinced that a gullet cruise is the best way to truly appreciate Turkey ’s beautiful coastline. I found that Turkey is a treasure trove of coves, inlets, bays and beaches of which are perfect place to cruise. Truly, Turkey ’s coast is scenically beautiful beyond imagination, and the Turkish coast has many fabulous archaeological ruins and historic sites in which to explore. In addition, I found that the weather was perfect for cruising, with gentle breezes which tempered the summer heat. The ports of call and anchorages on my cruise varied from bustling harbors to sleepy villages, from tiny deserted coves to broad bays with awe inspiring backdrops. The availability of gullet cruises is staggering and it pays to shop around and examine the gullet and meet the crew before deciding on a specific trip. Prices are more than reasonable and often can be negotiated. Generally, gullet cruises are inclusive to include everything from meals to a few land-based exploration tours. Good journeys!
