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:

Sep 11, 2024The Somerset on Grace Bay Review
If you’re taking a large family getaway or a “friendcation,” regular hotel rooms might not cut it. Even if you book adjoining rooms or a more spacious suite, accommodations most likely still won’t have all of the amenities to make your stay as comfortable as it could be. But if your brood happens to be planning a beach getaway to Turks & Caicos, The Somerset on Grace Bay can provide an inviting oceanside home away from home.

Sep 6, 2024Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise
The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.
