Atlantika
Atlantika was built in Liguria in 2013, cold-molded in wood the Italian way, and now works the Turkish coast. Nauta Yachts in Milan did the interior, which fits a saloon larger than most boats her size. She rides quietly under power and carries enough sail to make a day of it. Home port is Bodrum, working east into the Lycian shore.
Italian wood, Turkish anchorages.
Cabins
Sample itineraries
Round the Gulf of Gökova
You'll leave Bodrum for Çökertme, where the waterside restaurants lay moorings for boats whose guests come ashore to eat. Across the gulf you'll anchor in English Harbour or the narrow inlet at Löngöz, both closed to commercial fishing. At Sedir Island the day boats leave by early evening, and legend says Mark Antony had the sand on its beach shipped from Egypt for Cleopatra.
Knidos and the Hisarönü Gulf
You'll cross to Knidos and anchor in the southern harbour, below the terraces of the ancient city. East along the peninsula, Bencik is a long inlet that almost cuts the land in two, near where Herodotus says the people of Knidos tried to dig a canal to keep out the Persians. Further in, at Orhaniye, the Kızkumu sandbar runs out into the bay just under the surface.
