One of the unforgettable aspects of a Blue Cruise Gulet Charter Turkey is the gourmet dining experience onboard. The fusion of traditional Turkish flavors, fresh Mediterranean ingredients, and skilled preparation creates a culinary journey that complements the stunning views and serene waters.

Breakfast (Kahvaltı):

• A traditional Turkish breakfast onboard typically includes:
• Freshly baked bread.
• A selection of cheeses.
• Black and green olives.
• Tomatoes, cucumbers, and green peppers.
• Local honey and jams.
• Boiled eggs or menemen (a traditional Turkish scrambled egg dish with tomatoes and peppers).
• Turkish tea or coffee.

Lunch and Dinner:
Main courses often rotate between:

• Grilled Meats: Kebabs (lamb or chicken skewered and grilled) and köfte (spiced meatballs).
• Seafood: Freshly caught fish like seabass or grouper, calamari, and shrimp, often grilled or cooked with aromatic herbs.
• Vegetarian Delights: Dishes like mücver (zucchini fritters), imam bayıldı (stuffed eggplants), and various mezes.
• Salads: Freshly prepared using local ingredients like tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, and seasoned with olive oil, lemon, and sometimes pomegranate molasses.
• Desserts: Indulge in baklava (layers of filo pastry filled with nuts and sweetened with syrup), kadayıf (shredded wheat dessert filled with nuts), or Turkish delight.

Mezes:

• These are appetizers or small dishes often served before or alongside the main course. Popular mezes include:
• Hummus (chickpea puree).
• Tzatziki (known as ‘cacık’ in Turkish, made from yogurt, cucumber, and mint).
• Eggplant salad.
• White bean salad with onions and olive oil.
• Stuffed grape leaves (dolma).

Beverages:

• Turkish Tea: Often consumed throughout the day, especially during breakfast.
• Turkish Coffee: A rich, aromatic coffee served in small cups.
• Rakı: A traditional anise-flavored spirit, often enjoyed with mezes.
• Local Wines: Turkey has a growing wine industry, and many gulets will offer a selection of local white, red, and rosé wines.
• Ayran: A yogurt-based drink, often consumed with meals.

The Turkish cuisine onboard a Blue Cruise is a reflection of the country’s rich cultural tapestry and agricultural bounty. Fresh, flavorful, and diverse, dining on the deck of a gulet with the Mediterranean or Aegean as your backdrop is an experience that engages all the senses. As an agent, emphasize the authenticity and richness of the dining experience, ensuring that your clients look forward to not just the destinations but also the meals that await them onboard
