SKÍATHOS, GREECE
Skíathos is a popular Sporades island blessed
with forests, fruit and olive orchards, and vineyards.
Its 60 beaches include the famous Koukounaries
and remote Lalaria with its picturesque rock arch.
ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Byzantium’s domes and minarets are
unmistakable. This is the Golden Horn, the door
between East and West. Hagia Sophia, the Blue
Mosque and Topkapi Sarai await—as does the
Grand Bazaar, laden with carpets, beaten brass
and spices from afar.
IZMIR (PERGAMON), TURKEY
The birthplace of the epic poet Homer, Izmir
has grown into a thriving metropolis with a
sweeping bayfront. Museums of archaeology
and ethnography and the remnants of ancient
Smyrna’s 4th-century fort atop Mt. Pagos are
interesting glimpses into the city’s rich past.
VIS, CROATIA
Behind this island’s scenic outlooks and
picturesque harbor, Vis has a fascinating story
with secret WWII operations, traditional fishing
villages, local vineyards producing “Vuvaga”
white wine and “Plavac” red wine as well as
appearances in Hollywood films.
