ABOUT PETER SOMMER TRAVELS
Peter personally leads a large number of our archaeological tours. We also work with a number of other superb archaeologists and historians, noted for their knowledge and communication skills, who lead trips for us. To find out more about them visit the page about our Archaeological tour guides
A small family run firm, we take pride in our personal approach, treating our customers as guests with extra special care. Elin, Peter’s partner, is at the very heart of operations, and Juliet, our office manager efficiently keeps track of all that is going on. If you have any questions, please get in touch. We look forward to helping you in any way we can.
Over the past ten years we have created a rich and varied collection of escorted cultural tours - archaeology tours and cruises with a difference. Our Turkey tours bring to life the rich heritage of the country from profoundly ancient times to the modern era. Come sailing, cruising, or exploring with us, and see some of the very finest temples and tombs, baths and aqueducts, theatres and castles. Discover a Turkish archaeological paradise full of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman treasures!
A recent traveller told us after a gulet cruise: “The hospitality aboard was exceptional, we felt like guests rather than customers.” This is very much what we strive for in all our holidays in Turkey.
From boarding the boat to the blessing of dolphins on the last day it was the best vacation of my life: quality learning, rest and relaxation, superb food, exercise, good company and fresh air. Walking in the footsteps of our ancestors was awesome. Nothing else can compare.
