But it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you like café life, hopping from marina to marina, while fine-dining on the seaside.
If you're interested in chartering a yacht, here are some companies to consider.
Most of the following charter companies are specialized in Med sailing.

Turkey is very good for yachting because the sea here is remarkably clear and wind conditions are nice and predictable.

How many days or weeks does it take to sail from the coast of Southern Greece (Athens) to the coast of Turkey? How long does it take to sail from Macedonia to Rhodes?
I ask these questions, because, as an American, my understanding of distance in Europe is not native. I can think in terms of approximate sizes based upon comparisons to places that I have lived, but since I do not live in Europe, I cannot really know what the actual distances are. For example, Arizona, where I reside, is slightly larger than Italy (and Italy has 10 times the population), and Montana, where I have also lived, has about the same land area as Britain (Britain has 60 times the population in that case). It takes me most of a day to drive across either state, but that is useless in allowing me pre-modern transportation estimates. It would likely take me weeks to walk across either state, just as it would to walk across either country that is used in comparison. here
So for game comparison, how long does it take to sail (non motorized) across the Aegean Sea that separates Greece and Turkey. One week? Two, Three, More?
Paul entered Assos through the Sacred Way among the famous tombs and through the ancient gateway. After meeting up with Luke and company he sails from the city in the hope of arriving in Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Pentecost (Acts 20:16).
Even with a ship at his command, Paul could not calculate on favorable weather, if he lost his present opportunity. Nor could he safely leave the ship which had conveyed him hitherto, for he was well aware that he could not be certain of meeting with another that would forward his progress. He determined, therefore, to sail in the same vessel on her southward course. here
Paul and company are soon sailing abreast of Chios (Acts 20:15) and Scio. The weather in these seas is very variable and, from the mode of expression employed by Luke, it is probable that they were becalmed. On one side were the gigantic masses of the mainland while on the other were the richness and fertility of the island, with its gardens of oranges, citrons, almonds, and pomegranates, and its white scattered houses overshadowed by evergreens.
