Imagine setting sail aboard "Rhea"; a 19th Century luxurious top sail schooner. You step off to visit a ruined monastery in the bay of Selimiye after sailing through the beautiful, fiord like Gulf of Hisaronu.

Imagine sailing into the deserted bay of Bozuk Buku, site of the ancient Citadel of Loryma from where, in 1552, Suleiman the Magnificent launched his successful campaign to defeat the Knights of Rhodes.

Imagine pulling up anchor and sailing south to the ancient city of Knidos in time to watch the sun set before sitting down to a dinner aboard.

Imagine raising the mainsail and heading for one of the secluded bays on the north coast of the gulf where you'll swim and snorkel to your heart's content.

Rhea is crewed by a husband, wife and daughter team together with their dog called Sammy.
