Rhodes, the island of the Sun God Helios, is the largest and most popular island in the south-eastern Aegean. Due to its favourable geographic position it was once an important link between the Orient and the Occident. The 220 km long coastline is a mix between coves with beautiful flat sandy beaches and steep cliffs. The landscape inland is dominated by mountains, valleys and plateaus. Rhodes' history goes back more than 3,000 years. There are many archaeological excavation sites of ancient buildings, bearing witness to Rhodes' eventful past.
Sights include: ruins from the Mycaean era, the ancient theatre, the gothic buildings, the round fort dating from the time of the Knights of St. John, the Turkish mosque and the Turkish baths.

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.

The charming little town of Nauplion, once the capital city of Greece, is perfect for tours of the surrounding area, such as the ancient Mycenae and the famous theatre of Epidaurus. A stroll through the beautiful old town with its lovingly restored houses is also fascinating. A visit to the Palamidi fort above the rooftops of the old town is well worth it for the wonderful panorama view of the Argolis.

Tarent is the capital city of the Italian province of the same name. The city's position is unique: the old town was built on an island between two natural water basins, separated from the open sea. A swing bridge that spans the shipping canal opened in 1481connects the old town with the new town. The entrance to the canal is overlooked by the castle, which also dates from this time and which is today used by the Marines; it is probably also the most popular postcard image of the city. But the main reason to visit Tarent is to visit the Archaeological Museum in the new town. It holds the famous golden treasures of Tarent, a unique collection of precious antique jewels.

Patmos is a small island measuring around 12 kilometres in length in the Dodecanese Islands not far from Turkey and is called the "Jerusalem of the Aegean". This is because the island is home to many beautiful monasteries as well as the cave where St. John the Apostle wrote his "Apocalypse". The port of Skala, the capital of the island, can be reached by sea via a long, narrow inlet. The city lies in the shadow of the medieval castle-convent of St. John. It can be seen from all directions from sea and many pilgrims travel here each year. A visit to the village of Chora with its narrow streets is also a must. Some of the taverns provide a breathtaking view right down to Skala. Other sights include: the monastery of St. Christodoulos, the holy cave of the revelation and Agia Anni chapel.
