Bodrum-Kos-Simi Cruises - The Perfect Greek Island Adventure?
By djazz | May 8, 2008
Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises enrich your experience on the Bodrum Peninsula in ways that no other excursion can. You’ll enjoy both the beauty of the Mediterranean and some of the Western world’s most ancient sites. If you’re interested in taking Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises, you should know about some of the historical places you can visit.
Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises leave from Bodrum, a resort town on the Gokova Gulf. Greece is directly across the gulf. There is nothing to keep you from going there, as long as you have your passport. Bodrum-Greece Islands cruises are popular with many visitors, which is not surprising given how close Greece is to the Peninsula.
Most Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises make their first stop Kos, a town on the Greek island which goes by the same name. There are beautiful buildings from ancient, medieval, and modern times, and a carpet of lush greenery is everywhere. You can eat, drink and dance in its many cafes, bars and nightclubs. To take part in the lively nightlife, be sure to choose one of the Bodrum charter cruises with an overnight stay.
The island of Kos offers a wealth of ancient Greek culture and archeology. Bodrum-Greece Islands cruises offer you the chance to view the ruins of a genuine Roman amphitheater. It’s in such excellent condition that it’s hard to believe it was put up in the 2nd Century A.D. Great crowds gathered there to watch bouts between prisoners, as they did in ancient Rome’s renowned Coliseum. You’ve probably recognized by now that if you’re looking for more than yet another sunbathing opportunity, Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises are for you.
If you’re interested in the ancient Greek philosophers, you must take one of the Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises. One thing you have to see is the Hippocrates sycamore. This enormous sycamore tree has endured for half a millennium and was named after Hippocrates, an island native who is known as the Father of Medicine. Legend has it that he taught his classes right here in the shade of a far older sycamore tree.
Before the cruise sets sail for Bodrum, passengers have the island of Simi to enjoy. Although smaller than Kos, Simi is a popular destination for those on Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises. The houses surround the harbor in a horseshoe curve; shades of yellow blend with the white walls of the churches while the red roofs stand in contrast. In ancient times, it was renowned for its dramatic arts, its statue of Aphrodite, and its scientific advances.
The world of ancient Greece opens up to you when you take one of these Bodrum charter cruises. These islands draw crowds of tourists in high season. Don’t be concerned about being pushed and shoved by lots of other tourists. When Bodrum-Kos-Simi cruises take you to these islands and show you their amazing historic sights, concerns about other tourists just fade away.
