Ancient Wonders in Turkey and Greece
LONDON – Peter Sommer once walked 3200km across Turkey in the footsteps of Alexander the Great, but for Australian travellers he promises ancient-world adventures with much greater ease and comfort.
The British archaeologist and BBC documentary maker leads archaeological tours of Turkey and Greece, taking groups of up to 16 people by land and sea to explore some of the wonders of past civilisations.
Led by specialist guides with careers as archaeologists, historians and travel writers, the tours include a selection of cruises aboard wooden gulet sailing boats, exploring Turkey’s coast and the ruins that line its shores.
As an introductory special for Australians, Peter Sommer Travels is offering a $250pp saving on all one-week tours and a $450pp saving on all two-week tours during 2009, when booked by July 1.
Among excursions on offer is the 19-day tour In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, inspired by Peter’s own 3200km expedition in 1994, and his subsequent work on a BBC documentary of the same name.
The tour was judged one of the world’s ten best educational holidays by National Geographic Traveller magazine last year. It is priced from $7875pp.
Tours range from eight to 19 days, with 19 different itineraries priced from $3325pp including all meals, accommodation, transport, guides, excursions, entrance fees and transfers.
