Reviews of Walking & Cruising Lycian Shore










A wonderful combination of exercise and relaxation, archaeology and Turkey’s beautiful southwest coastline
Walking and Cruising the Lycian Shore was an excellent tour all around. Every aspect was well planned and organised. We had wonderful guides (tour leader Peter, and local tour manager Cem), walks that often followed the Lycian Way and took us to remote and stunning archaeological sites, as well as superb food. The boat, a traditional gulet, was spotless and its crew always agreeable and quietly efficient. This was my first experience of a Peter ...

Terrific organisation from start to finish. From the office's help with advice and arrangements, to Peter's enthusiasm for his subject and the easygoing efficiency of leaders and crew, it was simply unbeatable.





Walking & cruising the Lycian shore in Turkey, October 2017
A two-week extravaganza of Turkish food, culture & archaeology. A perfect combination of relaxation, education and walking adventures back in time. Superb food from start to finish and a first-rate guide in the shape of Peter Sommer and local tour manager Cem Yucesoy. The accommodation on board the gulet was excellent and the crew were quietly efficient and brilliant. Local hospitality everywhere was fantastic.

This is my fourth tour with Peter Sommer Travels and I keep coming back because the quality of the holidays cannot be beaten. The organisation from the office to the boat is faultless and the tireless support of the tour manager made things run as smoothly as they could possibly have been. It was a very easy holiday to enjoy but this was made possible only by the sheer dedication & commitment of Peter's entire team from start to finish.





"Walking and Cruising the Lycian Shore": an unforgettable experience
The holiday was an excellent mix of exercise, intellectual interest and relaxation - fine walks on and around sections of the Lycian Way, visiting often remote but fascinating archaeological sites, yet with ample time to enjoy the comfort, company and excellent cuisine on board the boat and the swimming from the boat. The trip had been thought through with care and was brilliantly organised. This part of Turkey is a peaceful and beautiful ...
The holiday was an excellent mix of exercise, intellectual interest and relaxation - fine walks on and around sections of the Lycian Way, visiting often remote but fascinating archaeological sites, yet with ample time to enjoy the comfort, company and excellent cuisine on board the boat and the swimming from the boat. The trip had been thought through with care and was brilliantly organised. This part of Turkey is a peaceful and beautiful gem, far removed from the troubles of the world, and the locals are delightfully friendly and hospitable. Strongly recommended.

First rate planning and organisation, offering holidays that fully meet the description in the brochure. We have holidayed with the company before and will do so again.





Wonderful combination of walking, archaeology & relaxing on the boat
This was our third holiday with Peter Sommer and as good as ever. A wonderful combination of walking, archaeology & relaxing on the boat. The food was excellent, as were the leader, local guide and crew. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Very efficient organisation of the trip. Very helpful with advice and booking arrangements and extremely smooth running of the holiday itself.





Creative programme in Turkey
Not a second to be bored during 2 weeks onboard a gulet. Peter has all the details figured out and imagination for all the excursions. He is na extremely attentive and thorough person, knows his trade and is a walking encyclopedia ! Apart from that, his partner is also the most careful guide and takes care of every whim that anybody could have. A pleasure to have them as chapperones for a trip so exquisite in na área that must be more explored...

Only positive comments about Peter and Cem. We were pampered and taken care of, Always sharing our concerns and we´d be briefed with details and all information. It´s a very good organization and the customers are their priority. We were really impressed.





An Unforgettable Holiday Walking & Cruising The Lycian Shore - We Ate, Sailed, Swam, Walked, and Learned!
Our excellent archaeology, history and local culture guides, Peter and Cem, were extremely knowledgable, well prepared, energetic, entertaining, understanding and flexible. They, as well as the cruise crew of four, took care of our every need in a very professional manner to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable time.

Peter Sommer Travels is a very experienced company and it shows as everything involved with the delivery of this tour was well planned and organized.





Walking and Cruising the Lycian Shore
If you like sailing the south-western coast of Turkey on a beautiful gulet, eating well prepared traditional Turkish food, swimming in crystal clear turquoise water, walking through the countryside to explore ancient rarely visited sites, and learning about the archeology of these sites as well as local Turkish customs from excellent and entertaining guides, then this trip if for you. Highly recommended.

Walking and Cruising the Lycian Way in South West Turkey
Total comfort on 12 guest Gulet in South West Turkey. A really well planned holiday, with a mix of walking parts of the Lycian Way with time to enjoy swimming in turquoise sea, sunbathe and be indulged with delicious food. Our leader, an historian and archaeologist made the history of the places we visited come alive. The captain and crew looked after our every need and the minivan lifts and pickups went like clockwork. It was a lot of fun.

We had not travelled with Peter Sommer Travels before. We were very impressed and would not hesitate to travel with them again.





Fabulous Gulet Trip and Hike
Hiked to ancient Lycian ruins using the gulet as a home base. The gulet was luxurious. The food delicious.

Walking and Cruising the Lycian Shore
2 weeks cruising along some of the South West coast of Turkey with my wife and 10 other people. There were walks to various sites using parts of the Lycian Way. The walks varied in length and difficulty which most people managed well. I had not taken sufficient notice of the likely terrain which was sometimes along pretty rocky steep paths so that we did not go on all the days walking as I am now 80.

2 weeks cruising along some of the South West coast of Turkey with my wife and 10 other people. There were walks to various sites using parts of the Lycian Way. The walks varied in length and difficulty which most people managed well. I had not taken sufficient notice of the likely terrain which was sometimes along pretty rocky steep paths so that we did not go on all the days walking as I am now 80. This was not a problem as we had a great time either spending the day doing just some of the journey,or on the boat or in the water, or canoeing, or doing different something on our own. We had a quite excellent holiday

Peter was there to lead the holiday which he did very professionally and with great knowledge of the ancient sites that we went to and their histories plus the conditions of each days walk. Could not have taken more trouble to sort out alternatives for when we did not wish to walk on any particular day. I can really recommend his holidays to anyone wishing to walk and see sites and at the same time have the comfort and fun of living on a very comfortable boat which will take you along the coast to different destinations.
