of Western Civilization - Athens is a vibrant city where old
and new co-exist.The majestic Parthenon rises above the city,

the National Archaeological Museum holds countless treasures
from Athens' Golden Age. |

GREECE

science.The town is an archeological repository of Archaic,
Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman ruins.Take a tour to the
ancient Asklepeion and the island's archaeological museum.
|
ALEXANDRIA
(CAIRO), EGYPT

Egypt's center of culture, learning and science. It's lighthouse,
the world's first, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World. |
 PORT
SAID (CAIRO), EGYPT
At the entrance of the Suez Canal, Port Said is a bustling
city and free port. To the south, Cairo and the ancient monuments
of the Egyptian empire have fascinated visitors throughout
the centuries. The mystifying Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza,
over four thousand years old, stand majestically on the outskirts
of the desert. Cairo's Museum of Antiquities holds one of
the finest collections of artifacts in the world, including
the astounding treasures of King Tutankhamen's tomb. |
| LIMASSOL,
CYPRUS
Cyprus reflects both Greek and Ottoman influences as well
as a century of British occupation. See the historic ruins
of Paphos, and also the Kolossi castle of the Knights and
the Graecoroman archaeological site of Curium. |
ANTALYA,
TURKEY
Vast archaeological sites, such as Termessos, a Psidian city
built at a height of 1050, are among this city's treasures.The
picturesque city stretches along a beautiful harbor that bears
its name. |
 MYKONOS,
GREECE
On Mykonos you will find beautiful beaches, chic boutiques,
and elegant nightclubs. Beneath its sophisticated surface,
lies a quite essential Greek island. Hundreds of tiny cha-pels
dot this blue and white-washed island with its beautiful windmills.
Find a table on the waterfront and bask in the serenity of
sunset over its picturesque harbor. |
VOLOS
(METEORA), GREECE
Its privileged location between the country's two main urban
centres, Athens and Salonica and by the slopes of Mt. Pelion,
makes this a lively and modern city offering varied cultural
life and entertain-ment. Its scenic waterfront is ideal for
a stroll. It is the gateway to ama-zing Meteora, home of the
impressive monasteries perched on top of giant rocks. |
 ISTANBUL,
TURKEY
As you approach Istanbul from the sea, the gra-ceful minarets
of countless mosques appear on the horizon and the Islamic
call to prayer car-ries over the water. Istanbul's blend of
East and West has resulted in some of the most magni-ficent
architecture in the world, including Agia Sofia and the Blue
Mosque. At the Topkapi Museum, formerly Sultan's Palace, the
treasures of the Ottoman empire are on view. Bargain for your
own treasures in the Grand Bazaar. |
 KUSADASI
(EPHESSOS), TURKEY
A tour to nearby Ephessos should not be missed, for here history
truly comes to life. Walking towards the ancient harbor, down
a marble road rutted by the wheels of countless chariots,
you pass architectural masterpieces like the Library of Celsus
before arriving at the Great Amphitheater where St. Paul was
arrested and cast out of the city. |
 RHODES,
GREECE
The beautiful "Island of Roses" has a rich and varied
history. On a hill above the charming town of Lindos rises
an ancient acropolis dedicated to the goddess Athena. Below
lies the bay of St. Paul, where the apostle landed during
his voyages. The crusading Knights of St. John left the medieval
city of Rhodes behind when they were defeated by Sultan Suleyman
the Magnificent. The Ottoman Turks then occupied Rhodes for
almost 400 years leaving mosques, minarets and a Turkish bath
to mark their presence. |
 HERAKLION
(CRETE), GREECE
Heraklion, the capital of Crete and its principal commercial
port is just three miles away from the fantastic ruins of
the Palace of Knossos. Discovered in 1899 by Sir Arthur Evans
and partially reconstructed, the elaborate Palace is believed
to be the mythical Labyrinth of King Minos and the seat of
ancient Minoan culture. The Archaeological Museum in Heraklion
displays many of the treasures found during the excavations.
|
 SANTORINI,
GREECE
The island of Santorini is perhaps the most breathtaking of
all the Greek Islands.The town of Fira white-washed houses,
narrow streets, open-air cafes and glittering boutiques cling
to steep cliffs, accessible by cable-car or mule. To the south
is Akrotiri where recent Minoan excavations support the theories
that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.
