We’ve had a number of requests for family gulet cruises over the years. Parents have told us that their children are so fascinated with the Greeks and Romans that they would love to bring them along on a trip. So in 2006 we created a new one week trip for families to coincide with the October half-term holidays. It was fully booked before all our other tours, so here it is again, by popular demand timed to coincide with the October half-term holidays.

We know that a gulet trip makes for a fun and fascinating family holiday. Children love playing in the sea and exploring the ancient ruins - taking the stage and performing in the Greek and Roman theatres. Peter’s 5-year old daughter, Rebecca, has sailed on gulets numerous times, revelling in the chance to paddle in the warm sea whenever she likes. She can never wait to be back on board the gulet Almira.

This family cruise visits the wondrous archaeological sites of Western Lycia, a round trip with Dalaman airport as our entry and exit point.

From lizards to wild herbs, tortoises to all manner of creepy crawlies, there's a wealth of Mediterranean animals and plants for children to discover.

There's wonderful new foods to savour, different sounds to hear, and loads to see - a truly exotic adventure.
