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.

Kavala: a modern trading town that has been able to preserve many elements from its past and integrate them into present day life. For instance, in the narrow cobbled streets you can still find old houses in the traditional style, with wooden verandas and flower gardens next to the large squares with the no-nonsense, reserved high-rise buildings. With its modern facilities, recreational areas and taverns the city is perfectly equipped for tourists. The harbour is particularly pretty with all the little fishing boats and the Byzantine castle (16th century) that stands tall over the city. Other sights include the city wall, St. Mary's church (15th century) and "Kamares" (an aquaduct dating from the 16th century). Beautiful sandy beaches just a short distance outside of town are perfect for a day in the sun.

Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Greek Aegean. This unique, craggy island was created by a volcanic eruption. Today, its inhabitants live on the edge of the crater of the volcano. White villages lie at dizzying heights close to the edge. The most beautiful of the Cyclades combines blue sea, breathtaking views and a bizarre landscape. The typical architecture of the cyclades consists of cube-shaped houses with coloured window frames and lots of small chapels with blue domes.
