One of the most relaxing ways to spend part of your holiday in Turkey is to enjoy a day at sea exploring the beautiful Turkish coastline and taking a dip in the cool waters of the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea. Now, The Turquoise Collection who provides stunning Kalkan villas and apartments in Turkey have a new gulet in their collection for 2010.

A gulet is a traditional two-masted wooden sailing vessel originating from the south-west coast of Turkey. Today these types of craft vary in size and are popular for tourist charters.

In addition to their range of beautiful Kalkan apartments, The Turquoise Collection guests in 2010 will also have exclusive use of the ‘Nergis’ - the companies 50ft gulet. This offers private charters for groups of up to eight guests for either a ‘Lazy Day at Sea’ or a ‘Moonlight Cruise’, all of which can be booked in advance.

Martin Bligh, Managing Director from the firm, which provides Kalkan apartments and Kalkan Villas said, “Captain Simon has twenty five years experience of mastering a boat in these waters and so all our guests benefit from his impressive depth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. For a ‘lazy day at sea’ the Captain will take our guests to the most beautiful bays, islands and beaches with swimming and snorkelling stops en route. A three course lunch and drinks will be served on the large mahogony table at the rear of the boat.”

The moonlight cruise allows passengers to enjoy the beautiful Turquoise coast in the evening with dinner being served aboard the Nergis.

With trips limited to only 8 guests, the beautiful ‘Nergis’ gulet offers plenty of space to unwind, sunbathe, and enjoy a long, lazy, lunch or dinner with a choice of alcoholic or soft drinks. In addition to booking a private charter, Turquoise Collection guests can also book either a lazy day at sea or moonlight cruise individually and share the Nergis with other guests.

So, when visiting one of the Turquoise Collection’s beautiful Kalkan Villas why not enjoy a day at sea in the company of Captain Simon and his crew?

A deposit of £10 per person is payable to secure your place on the Gulet, or a £50 deposit to secure the Nergis for a days private charter.
