Choose Your Cruising Destinations in Turkey and Greece

The choice is always yours as the itinerary on your gulet is always flexible. When you discover an anchorage that you particularly love, then you can spend extra time there. At night, if you're in the mood to groove, you might want to go ashore and enjoy local Turkish nightlife in Bodrum or Marmaris. Or, you may prefer to fall asleep to the sounds of the sea in a quiet secluded cove whilst others party away nearby. With a private gulet, it’s the beauty of having the choice.

Business relationships made on the water and on the golf course endure the test of time. Whether you want to entertain your customers or staff, meet important clients in an informal yet private environment, or organize a meeting far from interruptions, Southern Cross Timer and her shore staff and crew will organize a combination golf/gulet holiday to ensure that you and your business clients experience intimate and memorable times.
