What happens after I have sent the form?
We will have a look at your wishes and we will send you suggestions on boats and available places.
Are my personal details made public?
Never - we keep them on our database. But as you would like to see who is with you on the boat - we will send them
to the people you share the holidays with, as we will send you theirs.
Do I need a passport?
You must have a passport that is valid for the entire duration of your stay in Turkey. For tours or city excursions,
you will need a passport that is valid for at least six months after your tour departure date.
What about a visa?
U.S. and British, and some other citizens need to obtain visas for travel in Turkey, which can be obtained by contacting
the Turkish consulates in your country. Visas may also be obtained with cash at the ports or other points of entry.
Please contact your nearby Turkish consulate
What about dining out?
This year, meetundersails has intentionally left your dinner arrangements open for you
to sample the local cuisine.Turkey offers one of the world's great cuisines.
What about shopping?
Turkey is renowned throughout the world for the fine craftsmanship and beauty of its carpets as well as leather
goods and jewelry. Of course, an unforgettable part of any trip to Turkey involves a little "pazarlik"
or bargaining. which begins when you enter a shop and sip a ritual cup of *çay* or tea while you examine
the wares on sale. In addition to Turkey's brightly colored carpets. you'll also find Turkish leather is exceptional,
made from buttery soft lambskin. While gold and silver are reasonably priced, lapis, onyx and other semiprecious
stones are Turkey's specialty. ...more about shopping
What should I do about money?
It's best to wait until you arrive to change into local currency. In Turkey, US dollars and travelers checks are
easily changed in to Turkish liras everywhere, although you can save a bit of money by changing your dollars at
currency exchange offices. The *Döviz* offices obtain an excellent rate of exchange. ..the daily Turkish rate
What about sports gear?
Although most yachts provide snorkeling gear, we suggest that lovers
of underwater activities bring their own snorkel and mask. A special
note on scuba diving -Turkey's laws prohibit scuba diving in
some of her waters. We strongly advise against bringing such gear. However, scuba diving is permissible in very
limited areas only, and anyone interested can request further information of us regarding the location of these
specially designated scuba diving waters. |

Can I bring my electric shaver or
hair dryer?
Turkey operates on 220 volt electricity with round-prong European-style plugs, so the boats do. It's probably best
to bring a plug adapter and travel transformer just in case.
What should I pack?
Comfortable, informal clothing and equally comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing in cities as well as ancient
sites. Soft or rubber soled footwear or boat shoes on the boat. Wear standard shoes and sandals for on-shore use only.
During the summer months, you'll need lightweight
clothing, T-shirts,
shorts and lightweight cotton slacks, jeans and shirts. In April and May and from mid-September through October,
evenings and even days may be cool, so please bring a sweater or sweatshirt. For entertaining and on-shore dining
and dancing, you may wish to have an easy-care dress- up outfit with you.
And keep in mind that when you visit mosques or churches, you should avoid wearing either shorts or short sleeves.
Life on a boat will generally be informal, so keep in mind - don't
come with suitcases - they are difficult to
store on a boat. And you'll probably want to bring at least two swimsuits along with some towels - as these are not supplied on all of the boats.
Sunglasses -at
least two pair with neck chain to avoid loss. Eyeglasses-bring two pair with neck chain, or one pair and your optometrist's
prescription for duplication in the event of their breakage or loss
Skin protection.
The sun in Turkey is especially strong, and therefore a good sun screen or blocking lotion or cream is mandatory.
Avoid oily, greasy applications which are slippery and pose a danger on board. To continue your protection, bring
along after-sun lotions or skin softeners
Head gear. To
protect against the ill effects of prolonged exposure to the sun, a hat, cap or scarf is most important
Medication:
Prescription or other medications should be brought in sufficient quantities to last the duration of your vacation.
What about flights?
Airfare is not included in any meetundersails arrangement, nor are domestic flights within Turkey. When you've
settled on a tour and departure date, make certain you provide us with your right arrival information, so that
we can arrange to meet and transfer you to your boat when you arrive.
