Grand Journey

One of the world&#39;s most enchanting cities, Venice is comprised of more than 100 separate islands and a labyrinthine of canals laced together by a string of 400 intricate bridges. A whimsical stroll through the city leads to a hidden world of ornately decorated piazzas and a legacy of Baroque architecture. Admire the richness of St. Mark&#39;s Basilica and the lavishness of the Palazzo Ducale. 

Travel beyond the walls of one of the most majestic cities on the Croatian Adriatic Coast. Split has a prestigious reputation for impressive architecture, famous museums, and cultural constructs that should not be missed.

In the Italian seaside city of Bari, you will find picturesque streets, curious shops and incredible cuisine, including a wide selection of delectable wines. Get lost in the maze-like streets of its old town to admire enchanting monuments and sample its homemade dishes, including delicious fresh pasta at Via dell&#39;Arco Basso.

Cephalonia, also spelled Kefalonia, is one of the jewels of the Greek islands. Located in the Ionian Sea, the island is simply superb, think pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and diverse landscapes. Add the island&#39;s vast cultural richness, and you have a perfect representation of everything you would expect from a Grecian idyll. If you think the place looks familiar, that&#39;s because it is. Cephalonia was the setting for the 2001 film Captain Corelli&#39;s Mandolin, based on the book of the same name. The film, starring Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz explores the Greek island&#39;s beautiful scenery, and gives visitors a taste of Greek island life during the war. The island is heralded for its exquisite beaches. Myrtos Beach stands out with its dazzling turquoise waters and white cliffs, while Xi Beach is distinct with its reddish sand and unique rock formations. Skala Beach, Lourdas Beach, and Antisamos Beach are also popular spots for sunbathing and swimming. The beautiful underwater lake Melissani located near Sami, is a natural wonder, enchanting all those who are lucky enough to visit.

Experience the vibrant and historic port of Piraeus, Athens gateway to the Aegean islands and beyond, and find a rich maritime heritage, a bustling local culture, and access to the wonders of Athens. Venture through Greece&#39;s largest port city, Piraeus, as you make your way to the cradle of Western culture and the birthplace of democracy. Athens, among the world&#39;s oldest cities with a history spanning 3,400 years, has long been the location of myth and muse, and its ancient heritage is still an incredible source of inspiration. Here, the Acropolis crowns the city as home to the Parthenon and other legendary temples and monuments.

A Greek paradise in the Aegean Sea that enchants visitors with its stunning natural beauty, ancient ruins, and charming old town. Rich with natural beauty and colorful history, Rhodes represents one of the most architecturally varied locations in Europe. Hellenistic, Byzantine, Medieval and Turkish influences intermingle with abundant sunshine and dry air to cast a magnificent light over the island that the ancients dedicated to Apollo, the God of Light. High on a cliff, the ruins of the Temple of Athena sit amidst the beautifully preserved Acropolis at Lindos.

Today, its Old Town is alive with contemporary shops and traditional bazaars that teem with locals and visitors, surrounded by lively cafés. But this charming “old” quarter is infantile compared to one of Bodrum&#39;s most important sites: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Dating back to 350 B.C., the 140-foot white marble structure still captivates even the savviest scientists, ranking as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Kusadasi is a charming coastal town in western Turkey known for its rich history and stunning beaches, including Ladies Beach and Long Beach. A lovely seaside resort town on the Aegean coast, Kusadasi is famous for sparkling waters, sandy beaches and enticing shops filled with designer clothing and hand-woven carpets and leather goods. More than these modern trappings, it is the gateway to Ephesus – the UNESCO-listed, 4,000 year old city – as well as the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), Basilica of St. John, and House of the Virgin Mary.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant and historic city of Istanbul, where two continents meet, and ancient architecture, flavorful cuisine, and a rich cultural tapestry blend together at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The only city in the world that spans two continents, Istanbul is an icon of history, art and beauty in both Europe and Asia. Here, centuries-old architecture meets modern luxuries, and a melting pot of faiths, flavors and traditions rivals the mosaic masterpieces within its exquisite buildings. Places like the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the famed Blue Mosque - each a jaw-dropping display of cultural riches.
