Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy — A renaissance fort guards the harbor of Civitavecchia, gateway to Rome — one of the world’s greatest cities. From its inception in 753 B.C. to the days of its decline, Rome has been the focal point for many of the world’s greatest artists, architects, rulers and philosophers.
Alexandria, Egypt — Alexander the Great traveled to Egypt after conquering Greece and selected a small fishing village in the Mediterranean for his new capital, Alexandria. It’s now Egypt’s second largest city, and a juxtaposition of modern influences and ancient culture.
Istanbul, Turkey — Istanbul has dominated the Straits of Bosphorus for 25 centuries. As Constantinople, the city was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, a metropolis of stunning splendor when the great capitals of Europe were mere villages. The influence of Asia and Europe, the religion of Christians and Moslems, and the culture of Turks, Persians and Asians have all found their way into the daily life of this bustling metropolis. And from the kaleidoscope of street scenes to the serenity of the surrounding waters, Istanbul offers one intriguing adventure after another.
Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey — A sleepy fishing village until only recently, Kusadasi has emerged as one of the most alluring spots for travelers along the Ionian Coast. Tourists from all over the world come to Kusadasi to visit Ephesus, one of the most fascinating archeological sites available to the modern-day traveler.
Athens (Piraeus), Greece — With its magnificent architecture, legendary cultural attractions and unparalleled place in history, this capital city known as “the cradle of Western civilization” is a must-see destination for world travelers. A captivating blend of the classical and the contemporary, Athens boasts some of the world’s oldest and most renowned landmarks, and wears its ancient heritage proudly.
Naples/Capri, Italy — Once the domain of kings and wealthy nobleman, modern Naples is a lively, working port city along the Amalfi Coast. It is surrounded by Cape Miseno on one side and the Sorrento peninsula on the other and across the blue waters of the Bay of Naples lies the charming isle of Capri. Its modern skyline is dominated by the heights of the not-too-distant Mount Vesuvius.
