Overview

Meticulously researched and executed cultural tours in Turkey led and guided by noted experts in their fields, with a selection of tours ranging from archaeological, artistic, cultural and historical to gastronomical and flora, and including custom-designed tours for specialized interest groups. Peten offers connoisseur travel to those desiring a holiday experience that delves under the surface of a site and into its culture and history...

Peten’s lecturers and guides have profound academic and practical mastery of their subject matter, as well as a thorough command of English. They are good traveling companions as well! Another key to their success is that lectures and tours of archaeological sites are conducted by the project directors or members of the key staff at those sites.

Peten’s program of escorted ‘Journeys of Discovery’ holidays features an extraordinary selection of exotic and fascinating sites, with many of these specialized tours unique to Peten Travels. Every itinerary has been meticulously designed and planned to provide the traveler with a real sense of in-depth discovery, combined with Peten’s traditional hallmarks of comfort and style, offering the best of all worlds. Expert guidance and value-for-money are integrated with the sense of camaraderie found only in small group tours.

Tours also provide participants a unique glimpse into the lives of the Turkish people, the challenges they face, their proud traditions, goals and political environment. Guests meet privately with internationally renowned experts working in the field, as well as the local people of Anatolia. Peten’s travels prove to be unique adventures, leading guests to sites where the boundaries of archaeological knowledge are being extended ever outward.

Peten Travels promises guests not only a rich educational experience but also the companionship of a small group of fellow travelers with shared interests, under the guidance of renowned specialists who will inform, enlighten, entertain and delight; this is a truly personal vacation. Many visitors return to Turkey and Peten Tourism again and again once they have savored the delights it has to offer.

Peten Travels is also renowned for their active involvement in wildlife conservation and environmental issues and are totally committed to the preservation of eco-systems vital to the survival of the world’s natural habitat and cultural heritage.

Peten Travels will also work closely with any individual or group that wishes to create a “tailor-made” holiday, accompanying and guiding you to and through those areas that best meet your special interests or time demands.

Among Peten’s special interest tours are Aegean cruises on a luxurious “gulet” with gourmet meals and first-class services, trips that delve into Biblical archeology (Christianity in Asia Minor, Steps of the Apostles, and Ecumenical Councils), Jewish heritage tours, battlefields and history, international Istanbul, Izmir, and Antalya music festivals, golfing, soft trekking, thermal spas, and adventure tours.
