Alongside the archaeological and cultural sites Peter Sommer Travels visit, good food plays a key role in the design of the tours and gulet cruises. The team believe meals are much more than a practical necessity: they are a pleasure to be shared with their guests and moreover a central aspect in experiencing the local culture and the area's gastronomic wealth and heritage. As such all trips are considered to be a culinary exploration.

The company offers a growing range of special gastronomy-themed tours and cruises. Like all its trips, they are centred on expert-guided visits to important and beautiful ancient sites. At the same time, they offer guests a deeper understanding of the local culinary tradition. By exploring local markets, picking wild foods, visiting traditional producers and participating in the preparation of delicious meals, you will get to enjoy some of the highlights of each region's culinary culture.
