Sail The Mediterranean On The Cheap

Sailing the Greek islands is the dream of many.  But the experience is available at half the price just across the way in Turkey.  How about $70 per day per person?  Turkey's shores are lined with beautiful private beaches, Roman ruins, and stuff of legends including Butterfly Valley, a natural reserve hosting 136 kinds of different butterflies and moths.  Unlike cruises on large ocean liners, on a Turkish gulet you can explore the secluded and often deserted bays, coves and islands.

Fares include delicious meals cooked by the crew and your private, cozy cabin with washroom.  Drinks aren't included, but the prices are very reasonable.  This arrangement is known as a cabin charter.  You'll share the vessel with three to eight other couples.  There are all kinds of options available, you just have to look.
