THE TIMES

Odyssey from Turkey to Italy

Pelorus in the press

Pelorus is featured in The Times for its cinematic 14-night Odyssey from Turkey to Italy, a private yacht journey retracing the mythical route of Homer’s hero from Troy to Ithaca.

The Odyssey set to be the biggest film of 2026

With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey already tipped as 2026’s defining cinematic release, The Times writes that it would be “remiss not to offer you the opportunity to retrace the hero’s route from Troy to Ithaca this summer.”

Pelorus answers that call with a 14-night private yacht journey inspired by Homer’s epic. Beginning in Troy, guests travel on to Sicily, land of the Cyclops, before sailing the Egadi Islands, where filming took place, and concluding on the Amalfi Coast, mythical home of the sirens.

The experience is based around the elegant sailing yacht MES AMIES, combining life on board with helicopter transfers and a curated team of historians and creative experts who bring the ancient world into sharp, contemporary focus.

As The Times notes, like Odysseus himself, you will need “the wealth of twenty men” to embark on this voyage.
