Will the meals be served on board
We like spending the evenings in remote bays and try to avoid the
lights and sounds of noisy restaurants, beach clubs and marinas. So eating on
board becomes the best choice. The cook of the yacht is superb. We will have
excellent examples of the Turkish/Mediterranean Cuisine. Should the tour
members insist eating out, we can certainly in certain places, facilitate
their request as well.
Are there towels on board?
Yes, there are towels on board. Melitour provides the clients hand
woven Turkish Bath towels ( Pestemal ) to be used for drying up after
swimming. At the end of the tour the clients are welcome to take these towels
back with them as a memoir of their excellent tour.
Will the drinks be included in the tour price?
Tea, and coffee served all day long and water served with meals are
included in the price given below. The alcoholic drinks and the soft drinks
are not included in the price. There will be a chart for the drinks. When the
clients ask for a drink they will mark under the drink they ordered. At the
end of the tour, they will pay for what they have consumed.
Can we give a list of drinks we like to have on
board?
The clients can give us a list of type of drinks they like to have on
board. We will provide every thing for them.
Will there be snacks available on board?
Yes, there will be snacks served between breakfast and lunch and late
afternoon.
Do you have any traditions on board?
Depending on the preference of the clients these might change. However, some
of our most popular traditions on board are
1. Celebrating the sun set with champaign
2. Cooking class on board
3. At least for once, the captain throws the net at night so we can have fish
that we catch our selves.
4. We play / teach backgammon
If we have eating restrictions i,e vegetarians,
wheat or milk restrictions, can this be handled?
Absolutely no problem as long as we know it in advance

There is a CD player, you can bring your own CDs if you like.
What will the weather be like in June?
There will be a nice breeze in the afternoon. The evenings will be cool
but if any body likes to sleep on the deck under the starts you can do it with
a light bed cover ( Available in board)
Sea temperature will be around 76 F during the day it will be average of
85 F. In June we do not expect any rain nor any clouds.
Are we allowed to wear shoes on board?
The Captain requests no shoes to be worn on board unless you have just
boat shoes.
Will we have opportunity to go ashore?
The best part of cruising along the Turkish coast is that we always
sail along the beautiful shore where the leaves of the trees in the forests
hand their branches as if trying to hold the hand of the sea. This shore line
is spotted with many ancient sites. On our tour we will make sure that we
enjoy the antiquities hidden in the trees and discover the goat paths that are
unreachable from the main land by road.
Is getting down to the water from the yacht
difficult?
No, it is not. there is a very stable 7-step ladder that help you walk
down into the water.
Should we worry about sea creatures such as sharks
etc?
No, not at all. the Turkish coast has very friendly waters. One
disadvantage of this do not expect to find to much of a underwater life as you
would have in the Carrabeans or the Red Sea.
Will there be an English Speaking Person On board?
Melitour always provides a professional English Speaking guide on
all of our tours as this is company principle and required by the Turkish
Minister of Tourism and culture. In fact, the owner of Melitour, Meli or Asli
accompanies the yacht tours personally.
