Fair Winds, Always

Dear Sailors, Friends, and Fellow Dreamers,

After years of sharing sunsets, anchorages, and freedom on the water, GotoSailing.com is lowering its sails.

This has been more than just a platform — it was a small world where strangers became guests, guests became friends, and the sea became our common language.

Thank you for every search, every booking, every message, and every mile you trusted with us. We are deeply grateful for your presence in our journey.

New horizons always call — and while GotoSailing.com's voyage ends here, the spirit that shaped it will continue wherever the wind takes us next.

Fair winds, always.

Gemiler Adası is living proof that in the 5th and 6th centuries A.D. there was bustling tourism here. Christian pilgrims from Europe thronged towards the Holy Land and to Jerusalem and obviously their route passed by Gemiler. How else can we explain why an island which is only 400 mtrs by 1000 mtrs has four Christian churches on it, even though there is no water. At the end of the 90s a Japanese team of researchers tried to find an answer to that and excavated here. One theory is that St. Nicholas (of Myra or of Sion) lived here, making it an attractive place of pilgrimage. For sailors, mooring at Gemiler proves that you can undertake exclusive trips into the mists of history by boat and only by boat, far away from buses and roundabouts. Even though quite a few excursion boats come here and there is a visitors' fee, sailors can virtually have the island to themselves in the evening. A sunrise amongst Christian ruins is not something to be missed.
