Ports of Call…

This town on the edge
of the Dardanelles strait is known for the
fabulous archaeological site of ancient
Troy.

CHIOS -

Inhabited by sailors and traders, this
island, thought to be the cradle of Homer and
with Ottoman influences, has enticing scenery
and a rich historical past.

PATMOS -
Greece
This little island in the Dodecanese,
with its pretty floral display of oleander
trees, is a site of Christian pilgrimage,
because it was here that St John received the
divine inspirations to write
Revelations.
RHODES -
Greece
Its fine sand beaches and luminous
sunshine make this a very special port of call,
but the interior is also well worth a visit :
you will see beautifully kept villages nestled
at the foot of the mountains as well as lush
forests. As for the old town of Rhodes,
extraordinarily well preserved, it is a world
heritage site -the largest inhabited mediaeval
town in Europe. |

SANTORINI -
Greece
This is the most
spectacular of the Greek islands with its black
sand beaches and cliffs streaked with layers of
lava, plunging down into the sea. The huge
sea-filled crater entrances all
visitors.
