Exclusive Escapes is offering the opportunity to join in the traditional olive harvest at the Dionysos Estate in Turkey during late October.

Guests can learn centuries-old harvest traditions in the comfort of a super-stylish boutique hotel as they rake the olives from the trees and assist with the pressing and bottling.

There are also visits to the local food markets, cookery demonstrations and tastings of the Dionysos Estate’s award-winning organic oils.

Facilities at the boutique hotel include a large infinity pool overlooking the sea, a Decléor spa, private beach club with water sports and three restaurants.

The olive harvest runs from October 16 – 30. Seven nights B&B costs from £550 pp including flights, transfers, a day’s cruise and all the olive harvest activities.

New on 101 Holidays: Gulet cruise in Turkey

Monday, July 12th, 2010

By Mark Hodson and David Wickers, editors of 101 Holidays

We’re very excited about the latest addition to 101 Holidays – a magnificent gulet cruise in Turkey.

We’re both huge fans of the Turkish Aegean coastline and believe that sailing in a fully-crewed traditional gulet is the perfect way to get away from the crowds and really enjoy the magnificent scenery. On a gulet you can explore secret coves, find stretches of coastline inaccessible from the land and go swimming and snorkelling in beautiful clear seas.

At night the gulet experience really comes into its own as you enjoy dinner on deck then gaze up into a starry night sky.

We’re pleased to recommend Exclusive Escapes as the best tour operator for gulet holidays. The company is a true Turkey specialist and also offers some great boutique hotels on this coast. If you can’t decide between land and sea, you can always combine the two.
