Greece-Turkey
Combination Charters
Which is best - Greece
or Turkey ??" A question we are frequently asked - and find
it quite impossible to answer;
except that BOTH are wonderful! So for those of you who equally
well can't decide, there's always our combo trips; one week Greece,
one week Turkey!
It really is the "best
of both worlds" - a chance to experience all the idiosyncrasies
of our wonderful, white-washed little islands in the Dodecanese,
and to meet our lively, outgoing Greek friends - and then the
contrast of the greener, more subtle scenery of Turkey; the stunning,
pine-forested anchorages and her quieter, but equally welcoming
local people.
We tend to run our
combo trips early and late in the season; from mid April-mid July,
then Sept-Oct. Turkey gets very hot and very crowded in the midsummer
months, whereas our home islands in the Dodecanese (being very
little known!) never get too packed out, and the summer meltemi
makes sure that temperatures stay pleasantly cool on the water.
We plan our Greece-Turkey
combo trips to make the best of weather patterns here!
May, June and early
July are uncrowded and pleasant temperatures in both countries.
Choose early May if you're
not a big heat fan, love to hike around ruins, explore on the
land, etc. Go for later if you love the sun, swimming and don't
mind it hot in the afternoons!
Midsummer tends to
be very hot and somewhat crowded in SW Turkey, so we usually stay
in further north in Greece during late July/August.
Mid Sept / Oct are
the next scheduled "combo" trips; it's still lovely
down in Turkey right until early Nov; wonderfully warm for swimming
& sunbathing, yet not too hot for hiking/exploring.
For private groups,
we are able to put together a customised Greece-Turkey route pretty
much any time you want - just drop us a line !
Our
Greece-AND-Turkey trips sail to our favourite islands in the Dodecanese;
from tiny fishing villages where the traditional Greek spontaneity
and lively spirit lives on - to the bright lights and party nights
of the more developed islands, where one can eat, drink and be
merry in modern-day Greece!
Turkey is a land of
even more contrasts! From the busy, cosmopolitan port of Bodrum,
it's fascinating and fun bazaars, St John's Castle and hopping
night life - to the total contrast of the ancient port of Knidos,
dating back to 500BC.... ruins and ancient amphitheatres scattered
all around the bay where we anchor.
Our other favourite
spots tend to be the quieter, less "touristy" parts
of Turkey, where our local friends give us a real family welcome.
We explore more ancient sites, luxuriate in Turkish baths - and
even learn to belly-dance!
