Excursion Kusadasi coastline by gulet tour at Kusadasi

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Enjoy the sea breeze and scenic coastal beauty of Turkey during this half-day cruise aboard an authentic 'Gulet'.

Wooden Gulet, Kusadasi Coastline

How’s this for a perfectly relaxing excursion concept? Spend half a day cruising the Aegean waters and bays off the coast of Kusadasi aboard a private sailing yacht, with unlimited sun, sea, and scenery to experience. Your designated craft for the day is a hand-crafted wooden gulet – typically double-masted, broad of beam, and rounded at its stern, built in a comfortable and spacious style that originated ages ago for fishing and cargo transport along these storied Turkish shores.

As the hours tick by languorously, your captain and crew will chart a course toward several clear blue bays where the swimming is inviting, the seabed beckons the curious snorkeler, and the breeze carries traces of the ancients. Plush cushions adorn the wide decks on board, inviting warm sunbathing or restorative napping. Time is suspended, as are all those cares and concerns that come with it.

The Kusadasi Marina will be your embark/debark point for this delightful getaway. It’s just a short drive and stroll away from the pier.
