Ports

Athens

You reach the bustling port of Piraeus, just a hop away from the ‘Mother of Civilisation’, peerless Athens. Redolent with mythology, what better place could there be to start the day than with a visit to the Acropolis? Now in ruins, the grandeur of this magnificent city is still breathtaking. You may also view the dramatic landscape of Attica at Cape Sounion.

It was the port of the ancient city of Athens and it was chosen to serve as the modern port when Athens was re-founded in 1834. Piraeus remains one of the busiest shipping and industrial centres of the Mediterranean.

Paphos

Here, where Aphrodite was once born from the foam of the sea, you will walk along the traces of ancient Paphos* today. Countless pilgrims streamed to the places of pilgrimage in honour of the goddess of love more than 2,000 years ago, and even today magnificent, colourful mosaics such as those in the House of Dionysus recall this thriving age on the island. A hike through nature on the island promises idyllic hours. The route leads you through the deserted Turkish villages Phasil and Androlikou, past olive and almond trees, on to Neochorio. Enjoy a time of peace and quiet and the magnificent views of the blue ocean as you walk on the island of sun.

Modern Jerusalem has grown up around the Old City, with its civic and cultural hub extending westward toward Israel's urban center in Gush Dan. The city is divided into two parts: old and new. Whether you want a modern city experience in Israel's largest city, or whether you want to indulge in one of the holiest, and spectacular cities in the world, the choice is yours.

Alexandria

Named after its founder, Alexander the Great, Alexandria stands as Egypt's largest port, and second-largest city. It is the port of exploration of Cairo and the ancient sites of Giza (pyramids), Memphis and Sakkara. Here, a Mediterranean feel mixes with centuries of history and folklore to create a unique mix of Egypt old and new.
