A luxury Turkey yacht charter arranged by Churchill Yacht Partners takes you to the 37th largest nation in the world. Turkey is 1,000 miles long and 500 miles wide and lies in the Eastern Mediterranean basin. Seas border three sides of the transcontinental Eurasian country; the Aegean Sea on the west, the Black Sea on the north and the Mediterranean to the south. The Sea of Marmara cuts through the northwest region to the shores of Istanbul.
Your luxury Turkey yacht charter vacation is a visit to one of the most desirable destinations to explore the origins of western civilization. Some would say that evidence of the oldest permanently settled regions in the world are in the European part of Turkey called Eastern Thrace, inhabited since at least 40,000 years ago during the Neolithic period. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Mount Ararat (the alleged resting place of Noah’s Ark), and other Biblically referenced locations are found in upper Mesopotamia, the long recognized Cradle of Civilization. All are within Turkey’s borders. Without doubt, this fascinating country is a virtual time capsule of ancient to modern history.
Besides the historic significance of the countless ruins, caves, monuments and relics found throughout the country, modern Turkey is just as fascinating as its storied past.
Cruise up the Sea of Marmara to Istanbul, the world’s only city covering two continents (Europe and Asia). A place where East and West mingle, with monumental churches cum mosques (the Hagia Sophia), Roman ruins (the Hippodrome, where the Romans held horse and chariot races and founded the Grand Bazaar with its thousands of shops). The colorful open market features everything from local spices and delicacies to hand woven carpets and tapestries made by talented artisans. The Grand Bazaar is still operating and attracts visitors from around the globe.
In the western end of the country, the Datca Peninsula, a Mediterranean landscape of rolling hills looks out on a sea dotted with Greek islands. Here, lies Old Antalya, which has the coast’s best museum and archaeological sites, Aspendos among them. East of the resort towns of Side and Alanya, the region becomes rugged and tourists rare, and the flavor of real Turkey is more pronounced.
Turkey’s southwestern most shore has been dubbed the Turquoise Coast, thanks to the hues of its horizons and the sea. It is noted for fine beaches and stunning mountain vistas. Many of the attractive coves and islets at the foot of the Baba, Akdağ and Bey mountains remain inaccessible to vehicles, so yachting is the perfect way to enjoy the spectacular scenery.
About nine miles from Ephesus, a town on the shores of the Port of Kusadasi, the ruins of the best-preserved ancient city in the Eastern Mediterranean takes you back thousands of years. The Virgin Mary is believed to have visited there between 37 and 45 A.D. Inhabited for millennia, spectacular archaeological ruins of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine origin are never far away.
Turkey covers a vast region of the Mediterranean, and everything about it is mesmerizing. To enjoy all the country has to offer could easily take several visits, probably more. After conversing with those who have experienced a fascinating Turkey yacht charter a number of times, the consensus is that they were never disappointed.
