  • Blue Cruise Turkey
    BLUE CRUISE along the Aegean coast of Turkey The Blue Cruise is ordinarily advertised as renting a private yacht (with captain and sta# on board), cruising along the southwestern coast of Turkey, making stops to swim, hike and see historical ruins. This sounds exciting but it misses the atmosphere of the Blue Cruise that is almost spiritual. As you board your yacht, you also cut the mental ties with land. You embark on a di#erent existence, as if nothing else matters outside your yacht, or even exists for that matter. What makes the Blue Cruise unique is the lack of requirements and responsibilities - at last the freedom to do absolutely nothing and with it, a complete freedom of mind. You can gaze at the sea for hours on end, you can swim everyday, sleep all day or you can finish that book that you weren’t able to finish for ages because of the lack of time. However if you want “action” to spend your time, you will never be at a loss to find yourself activities to try either. When the yacht is anchored, you can discover nearby coves by canoes; you can cover greater distance than swimming and its good exercise for your biceps! Or you can hail down one of the speed boats that tour the coves and bargain for water skiing, jetskis or banana rides. And it goes without saying that you can hike and climb to your heart’s content the pine and olive covered hills that rise from the shore to discover historical ruins from Lycians, Anatolian Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans.

  • A Test for the Mediterranean Tsunami Warning System Mohammad Heidarzadeh1* , Ocal Necmioglu2 , Takeo Ishibe3 and Ahmet C
    Heidarzadeh et al. Geosci. Lett. (2017) 4:31 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40562-017-0097-0 RESEARCH LETTER Open Access Bodrum–Kos (Turkey–Greece) Mw 6.6 earthquake and tsunami of 20 July 2017: a test for the Mediterranean tsunami warning system Mohammad Heidarzadeh1* , Ocal Necmioglu2 , Takeo Ishibe3 and Ahmet C. Yalciner4 Abstract Various Tsunami Service Providers (TSPs) within the Mediterranean Basin supply tsunami warnings including CAT-INGV (Italy), KOERI-RETMC (Turkey), and NOA/HL-NTWC (Greece). The 20 July 2017 Bodrum–Kos (Turkey–Greece) earth- quake (Mw 6.6) and tsunami provided an opportunity to assess the response from these TSPs. Although the Bodrum– Kos tsunami was moderate (e.g., runup of 1.9 m) with little damage to properties, it was the frst noticeable tsunami in the Mediterranean Basin since the 21 May 2003 western Mediterranean tsunami. Tsunami waveform analysis revealed that the trough-to-crest height was 34.1 cm at the near-feld tide gauge station of Bodrum (Turkey). Tsunami period band was 2–30 min with peak periods at 7–13 min. We proposed a source fault model for this tsunami with the length and width of 25 and 15 km and uniform slip of 0.4 m. Tsunami simulations using both nodal planes produced almost same results in terms of agreement between tsunami observations and simulations. Diferent TSPs provided tsunami warnings at 10 min (CAT-INGV), 19 min (KOERI-RETMC), and 18 min (NOA/HL-NTWC) after the earthquake origin time. Apart from CAT-INGV, whose initial Mw estimation difered 0.2 units with respect to the fnal value, the response from the other two TSPs came relatively late compared to the desired warning time of ~ 10 min, given the difculties for timely and accurate calculation of earthquake magnitude and tsunami impact assessment.

MAUSSOLLOS’S MNEMA An iconographical approach to the architecture of the Maussolleion at Halikarnassos Elizabeth McGowan Williams College [email protected] Abstract Undoubtedly the most renowned example of intramural burial in antiquity was the Maussolleion at Halicarnassus. Since its rediscovery within the writing of Vitruvius, Pliny and other ancient authors by Renaissance architects its form has been a frequent subject of speculation. The results of the archaeological campaigns of the 19th and 20th centuries have allowed the discussion to encompass an aesthetic evaluation of the temple-tomb’s actual remains. The Maussolleion’s seemingly disparate assortment of architectural forms, which samples motifs from prominent Mediterranean cultures (Lykian podium, Greek temple, and Egyptian pyramid) has been characterized as the ultimate statement in bad taste by a self-aggrandizing satrap.

  • Two Weeks Towards Sailing Marmaris – Marmaris
    TWO WEEKS TOWARDS SAILING MARMARIS – MARMARIS Day: 1 Marmaris/Marmaris (0 h) Marmaris situated where the Mediterranean and Aegean seas meet lies in a natural harbour surrounded by pine forests stretching down to the waterfront. Marmaris is one of Turkey' s premier vacation resorts, built around a sweeping natural bay at the foot of a steep mountain slope. The old town is a maze of twisting little streets and alleyways with whitewashed houses amid an excellent shopping bazaar. The beautiful harbour water front hosts many restaurants and bars where you can relax and take in the spectacular view. One look at the yachts in the harbour will tell you that Marmaris is a stylish and cosmopolitan resort. The traffic-free promenade stretching from the marina all the way round the bay to Icmeler has a sophisticated 'Riviera' feel to it, that is vaguely reminiscent of St.Tropez. Day: 2 Marmaris/Ciftlik (1h30) Fifteen miles east of Loryma, Ciftlik (ancient Phalarus) is a beach village set in a striking mountain cul-de-sac. This is a very convenient first stop if you are cruising from Marmaris towards Bodrum. The bay is very well protected and has numerous jetties and restaurants around the shore. There are limited provisions available here and if you are lucky you may be able to buy fresh fish straight from the fishermen. We have regularly experienced particularly strong winds on the passage from Marmaris along with the neighbouring anchorage at Gerbeske, so be watchful! Day 3: Ciftlik/Bozukkale (2 h) Every yacht is sure to call at Bozukkale, which is located 15nm from Marmaris.
