Marmaris

Bodrum

Begin your captivating cruise adventure from Bodrum, Turkey, a city where ancient history meets modern charm on the Aegean coast. From its iconic castle to its vibrant marina, Bodrum offers a stunning backdrop for your departure. Explore historical ruins and enjoy the lively atmosphere before embarking on a journey to discover sun-drenched islands and historical sites of the Aegean and Mediterranean.

Kas

Kas is a small village and port located in the extreme south of Turkey. The country is enclosed between the cliffs and the sea, which gives it an unusual appearance. The numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars allow you to relax by the sea and enjoy a beautiful panorama. Tourists who are eager for history will be delighted by the diversity of monuments from antiquity, and their wonderful state of preservation.

Little invaded by modern infrastructures, the village has preserved its ancient side, with its Greek Theater overlooking the sea, cobbled streets in Ottoman style or its Lycian tombs, the ruins of Antiphellos located in the heart of the country, near the tourist office. We find a Greek influence in the architecture of Kas, since in ancient times, the village was mostly populated by Greeks. The small tourist village is full of charm, it will be very pleasant to stroll along the crystalline sea, but also to plan some excursions to the nearby islands.
The city is the starting point for a particularly renowned excursion in Turkey and allows you to visit the famous Kekova site. The ruins are interesting to look at for the most curious, and for lovers of small corners of paradise, in many bays with clear waters along the way. The economy is mainly based on tourism and fishing.
The fishing port is truly original as a result of the diversity of boats moored. You will find both luxury yachts and small dilapidated boats and local fishermen.

Alexandria

Alexandria is a port city on the Mediterranean Sea, in northern Egypt, founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great and which also served as the backdrop to the stormy love story between Anthony and Cleopatra.

Nicknamed the Pearl of the Mediterranean, it is most famous in ancient times as the location of the Pharos, the great lighthouse, considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, for the Temple of Serapis, the Serapion, which was part of the legendary library of Alexandria, as a seat of learning and, once, the largest and most prosperous city in the world. Today, Alexandria offers fascinating aspects of its proud Greek past, as well as interesting mosques, the Corniche's string of casinos, some charming gardens and hotels both modern and traditional, which conquers with the charm of a unique mix of history and modernity, an atmosphere more similar to Magna Graecia than to the Middle East.

Istanbul

An incredible city, huge, vibrant like few others in the world. Where two continents meet, culture and diversity thrive in a unique architectural setting. Istanbul is hot,and we aren’t talking about the weather. These days there are more restaurants,bars,galleries and clubs around the city than Ottoman mosques(which is not a small feat).

The international fashion and design press has talked about Istanbul to the point of exhaustion; the sense of age that fell over the city once the Ottoman empire disappeared, has been replaced by a sense of energy and innovation not seen since the times of Suleiman the Magnificent.
