This trip weaves the same magic combination of magnificent sites, quiet coves, and breathtaking vistas as Cruising the Carian Coast, but condensed into a single glorious week.

Cruising aboard a luxurious gulet our ever changing horizon is a wild, remote and mountainous landscape cut into long peninsulas, deep inlets, secluded coves and pine-fringed fjords.

Exploring this unspoilt coast, we rediscover the ancient realm of Mausolus, ruler of Caria, 2,400 years ago. His tomb, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, stood for almost two millennia in the centre of Halicarnassus, modern Bodrum, our starting point and final destination.

Highlights include beautifully preserved Knidos, a monumental marbled city arranged around a double harbour, and the Castle of St. Peter built by the Knights of Rhodes, and now one of the finest museums of underwater archaeology in the world.

Please note the Sept 8 - Sept 15 trip starts Bodrum (Bodrum airport) and ends in Gocek (Dalaman airport), is led by an archaeologist other than Peter, and is on a gulet of the same high standard as the Almira.

We have not one tiny criticism of the cruise which means that the organisation was exceptional. SR, Australia
