Venice
St. Mark's Square is Venice s heart, with palatial arcades and charming cafés. Tour the exquisite Doges Palace, once home to the dukes of Venice. Ply the canals in a gondola; shop for exquisite Venetian glass; sip a bicerin at timeless Caffé Florian.
Athens
The port of Piraeus is one of the last old-style Mediterranean ports from where you can catch ferries to all of the Greek islands and travel a short distance to Athens, the capital city of Greece. Athens is an ancient city, steeped in many centuries of history.
Istanbul
Part of Istanbul’s great attraction is its unique position on two continents, divided by the Bosphorus. Most of the population live on the European side; the Asian sector is reached via the high-level Bosphorus Bridge, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge or by ferry. With 13 million inhabitants Istanbul offers all the excitement of a cosmopolitan city. Its numerous monuments, mosques and museums, plus the famous Grand Bazaar, make it one of the world’s great destinations.
Istanbul is nicknamed "The City on Seven Hills" because the historic peninsula which is the oldest part, was built on seven hills, also represented with seven mosques, one at the top of each hill. Its history dates from Byzantium to Constantinople to its place at the head of the Ottoman Empire. Today it’s considered to be Turkey's cultural heart and good-time capital.
Santorini
Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km south-east from Greece's mainland. It is one of the best-known of the Cyclades where towering cliffs crowned by tiny white houses plunge straight into the depths of the sea. The steep coastline of the west is countered by the vast beaches of the east side, some of them sandy and others with pebbles.
Santorini is famous for dramatic views, stunning sunsets from Oia town, the strange white aubergine, the town of Thira and naturally its very own active volcano. There are also fantastic beaches such as the Perissa and Kamari.
