Bodrum gulet cruises provide visitors with fantastic opportunity to visit several small, intimate harbors along with Southwestern coast of Turkey at an affordable price.
It’s important to realize that Bodrum itself is a highly touristed area, so don’t expect any moment to tranquility in before you get on the boat. Having said that, the nightlife has a well earned reputation, and there are many- albeit crowded- places for sunbathing. If you have time, be sure to check out Bodrum Castle, a magnificent work of architecture built by the Crusaders in the 15th century. There are several advantages to gulet cruises. Firstly, their smaller size- most only accommodate between eight and 16 guests- allows you to visit some of the smaller and more beautiful harbors that the large-scale cruise operators cannot access. Secondly, you have the option of chartering the whole boat to yourself. This provides unlimited flexibility in preparing your very own itinerary. For example, many cruises leaving Bodrum tend to stop at Gocek Island for a night, though many people wish they had the opportunity to stay longer. With your own personal charter, you can stay for as long or short as you wish. At the time of this writing, the four-day cruises cost around $350 per person, that you can expect prices to drop down to $270 per person, double occupancy, on the shoulder seasons ( generally late fall to early spring). Keep in mind that private charters may be slightly cheaper per person, and that flexibility is the main benefit. Gulet cruises are without a doubt a fantastic way to see this region of Turkey, though they tend to be a bit on the slow side. Unlike large-scale cruise lines or modern yachts, which are built for speed, gulets are traditional fishing boats, and most of them are not sailing vessels. If you are interested in sailing, confirm this as an option with your travel agent. For more information on Bodrum gulet cruises, contact Blue Cruises for rates and availability. |
