A world city with a unique character. A city filled with beauty and contrast, with a breathtaking history - from Byzantium to Constantinople to the present day. But Istanbul has more to offer than culture - inexpensive shopping, oriental cuisine or meeting new people are just examples of the many things one can do here. The city is full of buildings, monuments, churches and mosques, all steeped in history.

Argostoli is the capital of Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian islands. Sights include: the ruins of the Venetian castle "Agios Georgios", the 17th century monastery "Agios Andreas" with interesting frescoes and the remnants of the ancient city of Krani, which was the island's capital in the Mycenean age. The main attraction of the islands are, however, the "Sea Mills", which are not far from the town. They are driven by sea-water surging along a channel cut through the rock and then disappearing into hidden underground passages. For many years where the water went was a mystery until scientists finally discovered that the water flows through caves below the island before re-emerging on the east coast of the island.

Durres is the most important port in Albania and has a population of more than 200,000. It lies at the shores of the Adriatic Sea, around 40 kilometres to the West of Tirana. Many Italian-style houses built during the first half of the 20th century still dominate the city centre. A villa that used to be the summer residence of King Ahmed Zogu sits enthroned on a hill overlooking the city. The most important sight in Durrës is the amphitheatre, which was only rediscovered by accident in the 20th century during the construction of a wine cellar. Durrës Plazh, situated a little to the South of the city, is one of the most popular bathing resorts in Albania.
