The Turkish coast does indeed string together many beautiful places – river estuaries, towns and incomparable ancient sites of once great Greek and Roman cities with the first examples of the Early Christian church. The coastline is remote and wild. Totally underdeveloped, unlike the coasts of Spain, France and Italy.
It is an indented coast of great limestone hills, fertile valleys and volcanic pine-girt hills and a few remarkable beaches set against a clear sapphire blue crystal sea partly the Aegean and partly the Mediterranean. It was once one of the main marine arteries of the world, linking the East with its silk, spices, copper, glass, olive oil and grain, with the expanding cities and empires of the western classical world.
In classical times harbours were independently wealthy cities, where art, poetry, architecture, sport, mathematics, philosophy, historiography and science flourished. All fed by trade made possible by enormous maritime activity.
Today it is to be valued for its extreme scenic beauty, both rugged and heart-warmingly peaceful. A place for fun, contemplation and, above all, relaxation.

Selene 56 m aluminium ketch, represents the ultimate evolution of the successful 56m-series that have included sisterships SY Burrasca, SY Santa Maria and SY Rosehearty . Her design has been optimised by Perini Navi in consultation with Ron Holland Design to achieve high performance under sail. Perini Navi ’s Interior Design Department realized a modern interpretation of Art Déco style. The style is reflect ed in the wide and rich variety of precious and refined materials. Woods such as ebony, frisé maple, wengè, Myrthus and Bavona briar-roots are integrated with stainless steel, leather, parchment and white Afion marble.
On the main deck , a lateral corridor, located to port side, allows the crew transit from the aft pit to the crew quarters through the pantry and the wheel house without interfering with the privacy of the guests. The grand saloon, bar and dining are separated by sliding doors. This gives the feeling of being in an open space, but with the privacy of separated areas. The flying bridge offers a spa pool, sun mattresses , and casual dining . Below, shaded by the bridge overhang, the aft guest pit offers comfortable al fresco dining and lounging together with a plasma television and entertainment system .
Selene features a very elegant innovation in her transom, which hydraulically opens and reveals a structural stair case ending with a wide swimming platform for guests comfortable access to the sea.
