Turkish Archeological Holiday Experience of a Lifetime

The South African contingent joined a group from Australia and New Zealand for a second archeological holiday along the beautiful Turkish coast. The 15 of us all interested in walking, archeology and swimming and having fun in the pristine turquoise blue waters. Peter Sommer our resident archeologist enabled us to visualize how the towns and cities vibrated with life some 2000 plus years ago. It was fascinating wandering around the ruins ...

The South African contingent joined a group from Australia and New Zealand for a second archeological holiday along the beautiful Turkish coast. The 15 of us all interested in walking, archeology and swimming and having fun in the pristine turquoise blue waters. Peter Sommer our resident archeologist enabled us to visualize how the towns and cities vibrated with life some 2000 plus years ago. It was fascinating wandering around the ruins feeling as if the previous residents were still alive with us.

We had traveled with Peter Sommer Travels before and in fact most of us had done trips with him previously and found everything extremely well organized. All the logistics are great. From arriving on the Gulett to being dropped off at the airport at the end of the trip , the team made you feel very special and cared for. Every trip we did on land was properly organized and well researched. What a splendid stimulating holiday and wonderful team giving of their very best to make us all happy.

Much more than expected

Relaxing but educational archealogical tour. . Fabulous food, it was all genuine Turkish. The swimming was superb. Each site was different and we came away with a real appreciation and understanding of the ancients. Throughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Everything ran smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. The information given on site was interesting . Great sense of humour and patience. Both guide and assistant were really helpful when we faced challenging walks up some sites.

Fantastic, sun and water, great people, and expert archeological guides and site visits.

The 10 cabin gullet sail boat with 15 guests was roomy and comfortable, interesting and friendly people to socialise with, great food, and daily land excursions to amazing archeological sites with a true expert guide. We have already booked another trip with Peter Sommer’s company for next year, this time travelling through the south eastern Greece Islands.

The 10 cabin gullet sail boat with 15 guests was roomy and comfortable, interesting and friendly people to socialise with, great food, and daily land excursions to amazing archeological sites with a true expert guide. We have already booked another trip with Peter Sommer’s company for next year, this time travelling through the south eastern Greece Islands. Whether you like swimming in warm crystal clear water, stimulating conversation with interesting people, walking through amazing sites occupied by various civilisations that lived between 1,800BC to 500AD, or all the above, then this is for you.

We were well looked after by the operator, from being collected from the hotel, to drop off at the airport at the end of the holiday. Our comfort and safety was top priority, and from the information shared by our archeological guide he proved himself to be beyond doubt an expert in his field.

Awsome

As always a wonderful holiday beautiful food lovely scenery relaxing swims and of course visiting ancient sites with Peter and Ore. I have never been disappointed with these trips they have always reached my expectations and beyond. Peter's knowledge of ancient Turkey is amazing. What else could you ask for. Oh I know the lovely people on the trip most of whom have become good friends.

From Halicarnassus to Ephesus by gulet.

This was our fifth trip with the company, and the third guided by Peter. A fourteen day gulet trip from Halicarnassus to Ephesus and return, visiting archaeological sites most days, but with time for swimming, shopping and enjoying superb Turkish cuisine both on board and ashore.

Peter Sommer Travels run a very professional tour operation, specialising in Gulet cruises in the Aegean Sea together with expert tour guides. Could not fault any aspect of the whole tour and company.

Best Holiday Experience Ever

The combination of cruising and archaeology is just perfect on this type of holiday. There is plenty of time to swim, rest, read and sightsee as well as seeing the incredible archaeological sites. To travel to these sites with an experienced and knowledgeable archaeologist brings the sites to life and you learn so much. Highly recommended
