Turkey
This is a land of many surprises and which is highly underestimated as a destination. For a perfect Covid-19 carefree holiday we have designed various itineraries whilst aboard the famous traditional Turkish vessel, the Gulet. Embarking on one of these promises an exciting way to view the magnificent nature and shoreline of the Aegean Sea.
The Duramaz Gulet & the Kaylan Kaptan Gulet are able to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 double cabins. They have both been developed to offer every kind of comfort with their spacious cabins and large decks.
Jordan
This remains one of the safest countries in which to gain an impression of the quintessential Middle East. An iconic image of the country and a UNESCO World heritage site is the ancient city of Petra. Walk through the Siq to the Treasury and experience the blend of ancient Eestern traditions and architecture. This is located between the Dead Sea and Red Sea.
Another impeccable highlight is staying a night in Wadi Rum and discovering this magical desert by getting out there in a four-wheel-drive or flying-in a hot air balloon. This protected desert valley punctuated with huge sandstone formations offers an unforgettable experience.
