Western Turkey and Southern Greek Islands!
We are excited to announce the CRSA cruise to the West coast of Turkey and the Southern Greek Islands. The dates are August 29th to September 12th, 2026, a full two weeks on the boat. The departure destination is Kos Marina in Kos, Greece. I have included early departure so that sailing can begin on Sunday morning, August 30. All boats at this location are Monohulls, between 44 feet and 51 feet. The trip is priced for 8 passengers on each boat. Each boat will have 4 to 5 cabins. See Kos base guide HERE!
We will check in to Turkish Customs in Kos and sail to the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, a UNESCO site. Another stop on the West Turkish coast is the Temple of Artemis, also one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and a UNESCO site. Samos will be our port of entry back into Greece. From there we will sail the Southern Greek Islands. There are many Greek islands to choose from, which may include Mykonos and Santorini.
The cost for all boat expenses on this trip is $1838.00 per person, based on double occupancy in cabins. To reserve your spot, you need to send or bring me a deposit of $500.00 per Person or $1000.00 per cabin. Make checks payable to CRSA. As always this is first come, first served. Only those willing and qualified to be Captain can move forward on the list. I am expecting this trip to be popular and there is a limited number of boats available at this location. My address is listed below. As always, CRSA recommends buying trip insurance.
Thanks,
