Fun Learning

Joined with some old friends for 'Cruising the Carian Coast.' First experience for me of gulet life but it was all made so easy by Peter Sommer and his crew. Very comfortable life on board with excellent and plentiful food and drinks. The excursions led by Peter were so informative and educational - he is a wonderful and inspiring lecturer.

I was lucky in that Peter himself was 'my guide' and one could not have wished for better. Adminstratively the holiday was without criticism, everthing was on time and well organised.

Educational and recreational cruising

Wonderful experience in southern Turkey with Peter Sommer. A hugely experienced and enthusiastic guide, tour leader and archaeologist who is able to impart so much information about the area and what is being examined. First class.

Absolutely Outstanding

A wonderful tour of archeological sites along the stunning remote Carian coast based aboard a beautiful elegant comfortable wooden gulet. Our guide's enthusiasm and knowledge brought these ancient places to life and left us all wanting to explore more. We travelled along the coast mooring in remote coves where we could swim, kayak or just relax. The food was delicious. I honestly couldn't recommend this trip too highly and will be booking another ...

We can hands down say that Peter Sommers tours were the most knowledgeable and enjoyable learning vacation we have ever been on . Peter our guide was an expert in the field and left us spell bound at every stage . We left wanting to know more! The tour was a perfect mix of archeology, beautiful site seeing in our gulet , wonderful food and lovely relaxing times swimming and exploring . We are already looking at dates to book another . I can’t say enough about Peter’s teaching style and how engaging it was . The tour allowed slower persons to participate but gave us options to see and do more if we would like Absolutely brilliant . Wish we could have jumped on the next boat and kept going

We have recently come back from a delightful holiday with Peter Sommers Travel. It was the tour Cruising the Carian Coast - Mediterranean to Aegean and the start date was 5 Jun 2022. We had been looking forward to cruising on a Gulek for many years

The boat was lovely and comfortable, the crew pleasant and polite, the food delicious and at every meal we had an explanation of what we were eating (it was all delicious local fresh food). The landscapes were sublime, the water inviting and the visits to the ruins most interesting: the jewel on the crown. Thanks mainly to the excellent tour guide we had: Peter Sommer himself, who knows the area like the back of his hand, but not only knows ...

Thanks mainly to the excellent tour guide we had: Peter Sommer himself, who knows the area like the back of his hand, but not only knows it but loves it and in his presentation transmits his love and enthusiasm to bring the ruins back to life.

Rating for tour operator:

We strongly recommend this tour but especially recommend the Agency, because all along the preparations of the tour (three years thanks to Covid) communications were easy and we received all the possible help we required. Bravo Peter, bravo Julie for the backbone work at the office and many thanks to our local guide Ayued too and the rest of the crew. We say to travellers follow our example and take a cruise with Peter Sommers Travel.

Ancient history brought alive!

Cruising the Carian coast with archeology experts; an amazing week aboard a beautiful traditional gulet. Fascinating visits to ancient sites along the beautiful coast, along with delicious food in great comfortable surroundings. Peter made history come alive!

Lovely gulet trip

A week of life on board, being wonderfully well looked after by a great crew and an expert tour manager. Swimming and cruising in beautifully clear seas, interspersed with delicious meals. Archeological walks with a real enthusiast made each day different and were interesting and expert.

Cruising the Carian Coast Sept 14-21 2019

My wife, Regina and our friends Marina, Ricardo and Silvia and myself spent a very enjoyable week on the gulet Sun World IX, cruising the Carian Coast. We learned a lot about the events and personalities in the Carian region cerca 400 BC, in an entertaining manner, from our expert archeologist, Olivier Henry, who is in charge of the excavations at the nearby Carian site of Labraunda. We particularly enjoyed visiting Kaunus and Knidos. Our experience ...

We particularly enjoyed visiting Kaunus and Knidos. Our experience on board our gullet was also excellent, including the well-appointed cabins, the choice of anchorages, sailing when possible, good food and services, thanks to the efforts of our captain Tayfun, cook Mustafa and crew members Cumali, Kadir and Koray. And, finally, everything ran very smoothly due to the impeccable organization of the logistics by our tour manager, Cem Yucesoy. A big thank you to all of you from all of us!

Everthing ran very smoothly, from our booking with Julie Sibley in the UK, to the logistics in Turkey with our tour manager Cem Yucesoy.

Fantastic exposure to the Cazrian Coast

The history,, the accommodation, the food, and the staff were all superior to my expectations. We sailed, swam and ate our way through a significant part of mans history.

Peter Sommer provided everything necessary to give us a superior experience, Cem the leader and Olivier the historical guide were both charming and knowledgeable. The captain ran a good boat and the vessel itself was superior.
