Introduction
With
turquoise seas, miles of unspoilt coastline, spectacular scenery
and an abundance of sheltered inlets, Turkey is truly a boating
paradise!!!
Sailing from our base at Bitez near Bodrum you experience
the most beautiful cruising grounds in the Mediterranean. To the
North, South, East and West of Bitez are fabulously varying
sailing areas. No matter in which direction you head you will find
remote secluded bays, unspoilt fishing hamlets and colourful coastal
towns and villages, you can even visit a few Greek islands as part
of your itinerary; Kos, Nisiros and Symi are all within easy reach.
The Gulf of Gokova is to the East and at its entrance is Bodrum,
alive with bars, restaurants and bustling market stalls. Here you
can get lost in time bargaining for virtually anything from exotic
spices to silk carpets. In the contrast of this hive of activity
are the many sheltered anchorages cleft deep into the mountainous
coastline. Explore and discover small fishing villages, farming
settlements and hidden coves where simple wooden jetties are the
watermark of cheerful easy going restaurants.

| Accommodation
On Board a Broadblue Catamaran |
| When
you holiday aboard a Broadblue catamaran you are
actually chartering a privately owned craft. Every boat in the
Broadblue fleet is each individual owner's pride and joy.
The Broadblue 435 comes in 3 different cabin layouts the 'Owners
Deluxe', the 'Family' and the 'Charter' to ensure you can have
the accommodation that best suits your needs and the number of
people in your party. Each layout is specifically designed to maximise
your space and comfort without compromising the
luxurious interior.

in 3 double cabins plus 2 single berths. The Broadblue 435 Charter
offers accommodation for 10 people in 4 double cabins
plus 2 single berths.
In the saloon the dining area has been cleverly
redesigned to wrap around the table and provide additional seating.
Extra wide side decks plus generous foredeck with trampoline sunbathing
spaces and pulpit seating. Hugely spacious, luxuriously appointed,
fully ergonomic interior with full standing headroom throughout
the whole boat.

| Surroundings and Activities |
| The Gulf of Gulluk
is north of Yalikavak and hosts two vastly different shores. On
the southern shore are Torba, Turk Buku and Gundogan, playgrounds
of Turkeys rich and famous. While the northern side of the gulf
is for those who really want to escape. This is an area of outstanding
natural beauty, with dozens of quiet and picturesque retreats such
as Iassos, guarded by the ruins of a fortress built in the 12th
Century, Kazikli where you will be greeted by inky blue waters,
sandy beaches and a family of inquisitive white ducks. South of
Yalikavak, at the furthest reaches of the Datca peninsula, where
the Mediterranean and Aegean seas unite, is the tiny hamlet of
Knidos.
Further down the coast is Datca, an isolated yet thriving holiday
village, excellent for catching up on some nightlife and trading
experiences with the many sailors that call in there. An opportune
moment to restock with fresh supplies before venturing into the
Dorian Gulf. Within this gulf are literally hundreds of coves and
inlets, all with the invigorating scent of the pine forests which
climb up from the shores.

| Responsible
Tourism - Helping to Preserve Bodrum's Endangered Fruit and Veg |
| Journey Anatolia
provides each catamaran with a welcome hamper packed full of
fresh fruit and veg sourced from "Fruit Heritage Conservation",
an organisation striving to preserve heritage fruit varieties developed
by local people over several centuries. Another priority is to protect
the ecologically friendly agricultural practices associated with
producing the fruits and maintaining their contribution to the local
economy and food security. Fruit Heritage is working towards maintaining
these varieties so they may continue to be a reliable source of food
and income for local villagers. For more information on this excellent
project please visit the website: Fruit
