Turkey is proving to be the number one holiday destination for summer 2009 & 2010, as it continues to outsell all of the more expensive destinations within the Euro zone. During these times of recession everyone is naturally keen to make their pound go that little bit further whilst on holiday which they can do with the help of the Turkish Lira. This combined with Turkeys already established popularity is making it a real winner for this summer!

We now have limited places available on our exclusively gay cruises in both June and September 2009, and are looking to put on extra exclusively gay gulets to cruise together on the same dedicated weeks.

Early Booking discounts are available for 2010 - 10% off if you book before January 1st 2010
