Cruising the Dodecanese Traveller Reviews

The trip, Cruising the Dodecanese, was great--educational, fun, interesting people and great food. There was plenty of time to relax, learn about Greek archeological sites and enjoy sampling Greek foods at the many local restaurants throughout the islands . Most of all, our guides (Maria and Heinrich) were knowledgeable, fun to be be with and helpful at every turn, as were the captain of the gullet and crew. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Peter Sommers Travels has its act together--its staff, guides and boat crew are perfect!

Cruising the Dodecanese was an extraordinary adventure. Every day we visited astounding archeological sites, swam in the warm Aegean Sea, ate fantastic food on the boat and in local restaurants, visited towns small and large as well as fabulous local museums. Our expert guides, Heinrich and Maria, made greece's pre-history and history come alive, engaged us with their their vast knowledge, enchanted us with the telling of mythological tales, and kept us laughing the night away with anecdotes, puns and a fantactistic supply of delicious local wines.

This is our third gullet trip with Peter Sommers and they just keep getting better and better. We brought the new catalog home with us and are already fantasizing about our next trip.

Aboard a Turkish gulet we departed Bodrum and visited nine islands including Leros, Samos, Rhodes, Symi, Chalki, Kalymnos, Patmos, Nisyros, and Kos before finishing at Marmaris. We were guided by archaeologists Heinrich Hall and Maria Girtzi. It was a detailed visited of ancient sites and museums with opportunities for other activities including swimming in the Aegean.

Everything was well planned and executed and the guides and crew were superb.
