Being one of the world's most beautiful cities, Istanbul is a seductive place separating East from West and boasting unique cultural richness. The West has always felt a strong attraction to Istanbul, the sultans' imperial capital. Istanbul boasts an incredible selection of museums, palaces and historic monuments including, among others, Hagia Sophia, the Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora, the Blue Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Topkapı Palace and the Dolmabahçe Palace.
And Athens that has a broad cultural and historic appeal for travellers. Our visit will take us from the Acropolis (the most important archaeological site in Greece) to the historical areas of Plaka and Monastiraki with their wide array of shops and traditional Greek products. Also worth visiting are the Areopagus, the Ancient Agora, or market, home to the Temple of Hephaestus, Hadrian's Library, Philopappos Hill and the Hill of the Muses.
