"The great mountains and forests trembled
Under the feet of the immortal Poseidon.
He took three steps, reached
Aigia on the fourth.
He had a famous Palace at Aigia, in the depth of the
sea,
completely submerged under the waters, bright and shining,
It
never grew old, nothing was lacking"
Homer
 The
Aegean and the Mediterranean can be called the sea of legends. This
is the result of the infinite beauty of nature. In the course of
the centuries,man has exploited a large part of this beauty for
his own ends. That is why we can observe the constant strength of
civilization in both of these seas.

constant strength of civilization in both of these seas.These waters were also the source of ecstasy and rapture. In
fact they were well known to the powerful gods and goddesses of
nature who danced and sang in the revels of Dionysos and to all
the peoples of the Aegean and the Mediterranean. They left
evidence of all this to posterity by exploiting their skills to
the full in every stone and every piece of marble they carved, in
every mural they painted, in every inscription they wrote.
 The bays and the ancient cities bear not the faintest
resemblance one to the other.
Discover the past of the Anatolian shore from the indigo of
the Mediterranean.
In the Blue Voyage, one of the most important things is the
choice of a place to spend the night.
Our captain, Ahmet, is
intent on finding a calm, quite bay while the passengers expect a
beautiful prospect that begins with the sea and ends in the sky,
or rather never ends at all. Those who can find vital pleasure in beauty can enjoy this
trip to its full.
"There is colour in nature.
There is music. There is pleasure.
There is the exuberance that fills the
festivities.
Without it, would the flowers bloom?
Would people fall in love in spring?

that you would be having under the millions of stars in the
evenings. But the boat will already be on its way to another
breath taking scene. You are now sailing at the coast of the
Lycians. The "People from the Sea" as the archaeologists
call them, had found this shore and the mountains suitable
for their nature. With the uninterrupted horizon of the sea
and the unconquerable peeks of the mountain, this land homed
these free soul people for one thousand years. The Lycians
