Upping the adventure stakes on a beach holiday, a voyage onboard a crewed gulet is a magical way to experience the Mediterranean, dropping anchor in secluded bays, swimming, snorkelling or relaxing on deck. With Peter Sommer Travels you also get an insight into local culture, cuisine and archaeology thanks to their expert guides and tailor-made itineraries.

For families who love life on the water, a cruising holiday in the Mediterranean on a traditional Turkish gulet is hard to beat.
However, our unique gulet cruises offer so much more for those who have even a passing interest in history and culture. Whether you choose Turkey’s glorious coast, the Greek Islands or Italy’s Amalfi coast, our friendly and expert guides will be on hand to bring the amazing archaeological sites to life.
And all the family will have the chance to get involved in preparing and learning about the local cuisine.
Our scheduled family gulet cruise is Cruising the Carian Coast, which explores this least developed section of Turkey’s coastline; we can also tailor-make our other trip itineraries to suit.
For adults, we offer escorted tours including Cruising to the Cyclades, a Gastronomic Gulet Cruise in Turkey, and Cruising the Amalfi Coast.
Turkish gulets come in a range of standards and sizes. We only use high standard boats that we know personally. Each is chosen as much for its character, beauty and charm as for its amenities. We can accommodate from 4 up to 24 adults and children – you can book the entire boat for your family party or join others.
We tailor each itinerary to suit – the balance is entirely up to you. We understand that some children will want to be stimulated and soak up the fascinating culture and historical detail whereas others will be happier with a gentle stroll around some fascinating ruins followed by a long swim.
Rest assured, you will be in good hands. We’re a family-run company founded by me, Peter Sommer, in 1994, after I walked 2,000 miles across Turkey in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, falling in love with the country, its ancient civilisations and people. A British archaeologist and documentary maker, I’ve been organising and leading unique historical and cultural tours and gulet cruising holidays ever since.
