TESTIMONIALS

A wonderful trip, which for me was a combination of new and familiar places. The new ones were fascinating, surprisingly distinctive in character from each other; the extra enjoyment that expert guides like Heinrich and Nota provided in the familiar places is one of the reasons I keep travelling with Peter Sommer Travels. My highlight was Santorini – sailing into the caldera is always magical and doing that on a beautiful boat like the Aegean Clipper was really special.

The Length and Breadth of Turkey
We offer escorted Turkey tours from top to bottom, from spring to autumn, from family tours to walking vacations, from gulet cruises to food tours. Turkey is an amazing country - tour Turkey with us and you’ll discover a land full of wonderfully well preserved ancient sites, beautiful landscapes and with a mouth-watering cuisine, too. We at Peter Sommer Travels have created a unique range of exceptional Turkey tours for you.

Tour Turkey by Gulet
Most of our tours in Turkey are aboard gorgeous gulets, traditional wooden boats handcrafted in Turkey. You’ll cruise along part of the turquoise Turkish coast, enjoy superb swimming, mouth-watering food prepared by the onboard chef. At the heart of our trips are archaeological adventures in the company of expert guides who lead our tours. Turkey has an incredible coastline, and it’s waiting for you.

Explore Istanbul
As an excellent introductory Turkey tour, you might want to investigate the vibrant and exotic city of Istanbul. Delve into the mysteries and history of the bustling city, from its roots as a small Greek town on the Bosphorus to the teeming and opulent capital city that it became under the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires.

Istanbul boasts world-famous sites such as the Haghia Sofia, Topkapi Palace and the Blue Mosque, along with some seldom-visited wonders that only the true connoisseurs of the city ever visit when they tour Turkey.

Follow Ancient Legends
For two millennia, the legend of Alexander the Great has excited the imaginations of people all across the world. Take this unique opportunity to retrace the footsteps of Alexander with this one-of-a-kind inspirational archaeological tour. Turkey is rich with Alexander’s legacy; stroll along the sacred way to Apollo’s great oracular temple at Didyma, gaze down on Alexander’s hill at Sagalassos, and discover Ephesus, one of the most well-preserved classical cities in the world.

Like most of our Turkey tours, this is a journey back through time, and a tale of romance, war and power. Join us for an amazing expedition full of unforgettable vistas and historical highlights.
