Turkish Breakfast at Sea

Wake up to a spread of olives, cheeses, honey, fresh bread, and juicy tomatoes as your Gulet gently rocks on turquoise waters. A traditional Turkish breakfast is a slow, social ritual — best enjoyed on deck with a sea breeze and a cup of strong black tea. It’s the perfect start to another day on the Blue Voyage.

Fresh Seafood & Mediterranean Meze

Lunch and dinner on a Gulet are as fresh as they come. Enjoy grilled fish straight from the Aegean, tender calamari, and colorful meze plates bursting with olive oil, herbs, and seasonal vegetables. Paired with a crisp local wine and a glowing sunset, dining on deck feels like pure Mediterranean bliss.

Sweet Treats & Turkish Coffee

No day in Turkey is complete without something sweet. Sample flaky baklava, soft Turkish delight, or creamy rice pudding, all perfectly matched with rich Turkish coffee brewed the traditional way — strong, aromatic, and served in delicate porcelain cups. It’s a small cup of culture that leaves a lasting memory.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT CLASSIC GULET CRUISES

Whether you dream of sailing the Turkish Riviera, exploring ancient ruins by the sea, or relaxing in quiet turquoise bays, timing your trip makes all the difference. Here’s when to plan the perfect Classic Gulet Cruise with Anatolia Expedition.

Classic Gulet Cruises

Best Time for Gulet Cruises in Turkey

The Gulet cruising season runs from May through October, when calm seas and warm sunshine create ideal sailing conditions. June to September is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing, while May and October offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds — ideal for those seeking tranquility on the water.

Best Time for Coastal Exploration

If you’re drawn to the ancient ruins of Kaunos, Knidos, or Patara, or want to wander local harbors like Kas and Kalkan, plan for spring or early fall. The air is cooler, and coastal trails and marketplaces come alive with color and culture without the heat of midsummer.

Best Time for a Luxury Blue Voyage

For those seeking a more relaxed, upscale cruise experience, late May through mid-June or September is the sweet spot. You’ll enjoy calm seas, clear skies, and peaceful anchorages — the perfect conditions for a luxury Gulet charter with Anatolia Expedition.

PACKING TIPS FOR CLASSIC GULET CRUISES

Classic Gulet Cruises

A Gulet journey combines the comfort of boutique travel with the freedom of the open sea. Here’s what to pack to make the most of your Blue Voyage adventure.

Light & Breathable Clothing

Days on board are warm, so lightweight, breathable fabrics are essential. Pack linen shirts, swimsuits, shorts, and cover-ups for sunny deck lounging. A light sweater or jacket comes in handy for cool evenings on the water.

Swimwear & Sun Protection

You’ll be diving into the Mediterranean often, so bring multiple swimsuits. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat — the Turkish sun is strong even in spring and fall.

Comfortable Footwear

From exploring ancient ruins to strolling through harbors, bring non-slip boat shoes and a pair of sturdy walking sandals. Remember to go barefoot on board — it’s part of the Gulet experience!

Eco-Friendly Essentials

Respect Turkey’s stunning marine environment by packing a reusable water bottle, biodegradable toiletries, and a cloth shopping bag. Sustainable travel is a core part of the Anatolia Expedition philosophy.
