Routes are defined by the captains who know the areas of navigation and can only be changed by the captain / master or port authorities.

Pack comfortable clothing, made of materials that can be washed by hand and dried in the sun as T-shirts, shorts, skirts, jeans and a sweatshirt in case it gets cool at night or during navigation. For those who make the gulet cruise in April and October isd also recommend a wind-proof jacket or sometning similar.

Do not forget your swimsuit and beach towel, sunscreen with a high protection factor, as in boat you may get burnt by the sun more easily.
