The Long Haul Survival Guide
Başlık: How to Survive the Flight (And Arrive Ready to Swim)
Let’s be honest: The flight is the tax you pay for paradise. Whether you are coming from the US, Australia, or the UK, the journey to the Turkish coast can be long.
But here is the golden rule: Do not let the flight ruin the first day of your Turkey sailing gulet cruise.
If you arrive exhausted and dehydrated, you will spend your first 24 hours sleeping in your cabin instead of swimming in the Mediterranean. Here is how to beat the jet lag before you even land.
1. The "Water vs. Wine" Rule When the flight attendant offers free wine, say no. Air travel is incredibly dehydrating. Alcohol makes it twice as bad. Your goal is to step onto the boat with glowing skin, not a headache. Drink water like it is your job.
2. Compression Socks Are Your Best Friend They are not fashionable, we know. But they keep your blood flowing. You want your legs to be light and ready to jump off the gangway, not swollen and heavy.
3. Start the "Digital Detox" Early One of the best parts of Turkey sailing holidays is disconnecting from the world. Start this process on the plane. Don't buy the expensive in-flight Wi-Fi. Download your books, listen to a podcast, and let your brain slow down.
4. The "Sunshine" Strategy If you land during the day, do not sleep. It is tempting, but dangerous. The fastest way to reset your body clock is to sail Turkey immediately. Get on the boat, let the sun hit your face, and jump into the cold sea. The shock of the water is better than any espresso.
Trust me, the moment you see the turquoise water, you will forget the cramped economy seat instantly.
