with the simple yet charming life of this Cycladic Island. Take
a stroll through the maze of narrow streets, marvel at the hundreds
of tiny chapels and the whitewashed houses with their flower-filled
balconies. Take a walk up to the famous windmills or just relax
on the waterfront, enjoy the sunset, accompanied by a refreshing
drink or traditional ouzo...

of St John is an impressive structure with outstanding interior
frescoes. The museum inside also exhibits priceless ecclesiastical
treasures. Visit the Grotto where St John lived and actually
wrote the Book of Revelations ...

ISTANBUL, TURKEY

As you approach Istanbul from the sea, the graceful minarets of
countless mosques appear on the horizon and the Islamic call to
prayer carries over the water. Istanbul's blend of East and West
has resulted in some of the most magnificent architecture in the
world, including Agia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. At the Topkapi
Museum, formerly Sultan's Palace, the treasures of the Ottoman Empire
are on view. Bargain for your own treasures in the Grand Bazaar
