The Solaris has docked in Bodrum after an eight-day voyage in the Mediterranean. She was spotted south of Crete on Friday and off the coast of Rhodes on Sunday before heading south to Turkey.

According to Associated Pressa youth team of Ukrainian yachtsmen tried to prevent Abramovich’s superyacht from mooring in the port.
