Crete in December

by Heinrich Hall on Dec 19, 2012 • 6 Comments

Last week, I was given a very hands-on approach to answering that question. Peter Sommer, Michael Metcalfe and I...

It’s been a while since we last posted on this blog. The reason is simple enough. We’ve been very very busy. January is always a highly dynamic time for bookings (and has certainly proved to be so once again), but this year, an exciting – and at times exhausting -  element has required our attention....

by Peter Sommer on Jul 14, 2011 • 2 Comments
I had the pleasure recently of leading one of our escorted tours in Turkey aboard our primary gulet, the Almira and was able to stay on afterwards to shoot some photographs. It was delightful to have the opportunity to put my filmmaker’s hat back on and have a beautiful boat at my disposal cruising up...
