Turkey, Greece, Croatia and Italy aboard Le Levant |
| 9 Days / 8 Nights •May 30, 2012 |
 |
Le Levant offers you unusual ports of call in the Greek Cyclades Islands, frst port of
call being the picture postcard scenery of Milos and Mykonos with their signature windmills and tangle of whitewashed streets. Charm and authenticity of a traditional architecture.
ISTANBUL
Located at the crossroads of Europe in the West and Asia in the East, Istanbul boasts some of the world’s most magnificent architecture such as Agia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace with its treasures of the Ottoman Empire.
DIKILI
A small and peaceful port on the shores of the Aegean, Dikili has retained its picturesque charm. From here we head out to explore Pergamum, one of Turkey’s finest archaeological sites, not just because of the many and varied ruins but also for its splendid hilltop location. At one time a serious rival to Alexandria and Rome, Pergamum offers visitors the rich heritage of its architecture in an intimate setting.
MYKONOS
This is the Ibiza of Greece. A beautiful island in the Cyclades, which looks just like the postcards: white little houses with flowers and blue windows and doors, hand painted streets, windmills, pigeon keepers, chimneys, lots of little churches and wonderful restaurants and cafes.
ITEA
From Itea you will enter the immaculately preserved sacred site of Delphi, the white ruins of Apollo`s famous sanctuary rising up out of the pines. the spectacular crossing of the Corinth Canal will leave you with a very special memory, a majestic impression.
PARGA
In the heart of a sheltered cove on the north western shores of Greece in the Epirus province, Parga was Venetian from the 15th to the end of the 18th century. During that period it belonged to Ali Pacha, a high official of Soliman the Magnificent. Its imposing Venetian citadel built on a steep rocky promontory dominates the town, the port and the sweet smelling pines which surround it. Today it is a lovely seaside resort.
DUBROVNIK
Known throughout the world as the Pearl of the Adriatic, the walled city of Dubrovnik built on a rock has preserved its Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque heritage. Palaces, monuments and white stone churches take you on a journey through the various periods and are in perfect harmony. Long considered as a rival to Venice, traces of its illustrious past are to be found throughout the city which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
HVAR
A mild sunny climate has earned Hvar the epithet "Croatia`s Madeira". Occupied since prehistoric times, it is one of the most beautiful islands in the Adriatic. Be prepared to be intoxicated by the smell of lavender upon your arrival. The old town cradled in the bay boasts many remarkable monuments such as the cathedral, a former arsenal and noble palaces, all bearing witness to a rich history influenced by Gothic and Renaissance art.
KORCULA
You will be charmed by the harmony which emerges from the old town of Korcula: the medieval architecture of white stone towers offers a stunning contrast to the orange-red roofs of the houses set against a limpid blue sea. For those who love old stonework, the alleyways, squares and palaces are a pleasure to behold.
