  • Pete's Turunҫ Guide 2020
    Pete’s Turunҫ Guide 2020 Dısclaimer Firstly, Please be aware : This guide is intended to give a flavour of only our times holidaying in and around and now living in Turunҫ. (pronounced Turunch) It is heavily biased on our own experiences and preferences. This may not be everyone’s opinion! Check out : www.myturunc.com for more information. Turkish people & Culture Contrary to some people’s opinion (usually those who have never visited Turkey before), the Turkish people are very proud people. They are very nationalistic and love their flag. You will see the flag flying all over Turkey and many statues, and pictures of their ‘Father’ - Ataturk. They are extremely family oriented and are very fond of children and in return the children show much respect for their elders. Conscript is still operated in Turkey, a practise that teaches discipline and respect at the right time in life for most Turkish people. The Muslim religion has to be admired, it is mostly about caring for others and they do not condone the extremists view. Ramadan is practised by choice, even when it’s 50ºC! This is so that they experience what it is like to be without. Since we have moved here, we are discovering how kind and helpful the local Turkish folks are......... especially so during our enforced Covid19 isolation. Background. September 2019 was our 21st visit to Turunҫ since 2003, just prior to moving here to our little corner of paradise permanently. We used to holiday in Turunç nearly every year and sometimes twice in the same year.

  • One Week Sailing Marmaris – Bozukkale - Marmaris
    ONE WEEK SAILING MARMARIS – BOZUKKALE - 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 alley ways 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 (1h20) 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 (1h20) Every yacht is sure to call at Bozukkale, which is located 15nm from Marmaris.

  • The Conditions and Problems of Turkish Yacht Tourism S. Incaz
    Maritime Engineering and Ports II, C.A. Brebbia & J. Olivella (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-829-5 The conditions and problems of Turkish yacht tourism S. Incaz Guner& N. Guler Department of Maritime Transportation and Management Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty Tuzla/tstanbul/TURKEY Abstract The total length of coastal line of Turkey is 8300 km. Being a peninsula, Turkey is rounded by four seas as the Mediterranean, the Aegean Sea, the Marmara and the Black Sea. Turkish coasts are very proper for yacht tourism. Yachting tourism, being a part of maritime sector, tends to play a part in the tourist activities and provides important resources for the general economy. In order to increase the rate of yacht tourism within the general tourism infrastructure, investments, education, marketing and suitable encouragements are necessary. In addition to these, yacht tourism is an alternative way of investment instead of housing projects. Due to these, in this study the ways for improving the capacity of yacht tourism in Turkey will be considered by studying the routes of yachting in Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Also the statistical figures related with Turkish yacht tourism will be analyzed. Since the improvement of the yacht tourism is important for Turkey, the conditions and problems of yacht tourism will be explained and as a conclusion, suggestions will be given for the further development of yacht tourism in Turkey in this paper. 1 Introduction Yacht tourism means the type of tourism which consist of "yacht management", "yachter", "yacht manufacture" and "yacht harbour". The phenomenon gains a social and an international character due to the yachts which travel to different countries and sail on the seas.
