It’s not too early to start planning autumn travel and Peter Sommer Travels should be on your radar. The cruise and tour operator takes guests on journeys through Croatia, Greece, Italy and Turkey, focusing on archaeology, nature and food. Cruise the Cyclades or Dalmatian Coast, walk to ancient sites in Turkey or enjoy delicious dishes in Sicily.

“Autumn is a truly wonderful time to get away to our Mediterranean destinations,” said Peter Sommer, founder, Peter Sommer Travels. “The heat of summer has abated, but the sea is beautifully warm for swimming. The school holidays are over, so archaeological sites and museums are less crowded. And the seasonal harvest is underway, providing a cornucopia of culinary delights.”

Upcoming cruises and tours include:

Cruising the Coast of Dalmatia: From Split to Dubrovnik
Departing Sept. 14, guests sail the blue waters of Croatia for eight days. Sail the islands aboard a traditional gulet boat while hopping off to explore the palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian at Split, the beautiful town of Dubrovnik, the tiny walled town of Korčula, the slopes of Brač, harbor of Hvar and vineyards of Vis.

Cruising to the Cyclades
Depart on Sept. 15 for the ultimate 15-day Greek island cruise. Sail through the Dodecanese and Cyclades archipelagos on a traditional gulet, while disembarking at ports and villages like Santorini, Kos, Naxos, Delos, Astypalaia, Nisyro and Anafi.

Walking and Cruising the Lycian Shore
Set sail on a traditional gulet for a 15-day cruise of the Lycian Shore. Throughout the trip, hike some of the best sections of the Lycian Way, follow Roman roads and shepherds’ paths to the ruins of Kyaneai, visit Pinara’s royal tombs, explore the port of Patara and the castle of Kale, and more.

A Gastronomic Tour of Sicily

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.

A Fusion of History and Modernity Makes Bangkok a Perfect Meeting Spot

In this city of contrasts, glass skyscrapers stand behind century- old temples. Street food vendors sling steaming noodles along roadways while tucked-away restaurants serve multicourse, Michelin-level cuisine. Roadways jam with cars as jewel-toned tuk tuks whizz through the gridlock. Long considered a tourist mecca, Bangkok also makes for a dynamic, budding location for corporate travelers.

Explore the Beguiling Towns of Sicily’s Val di Noto

Best known to tourists for the boisterous chaos of Palermo, the views of Mount Etna from idyllic Taormina, and for that capricious volcano itself, Sicily has far more to draw travelers. In Sicily’s southeast corner, one region encapsulates the Sicilian spirit that has seen it through conquest and natural disasters, a region less well-known to tourists but one of the island’s most beautiful and fascinating.
