Tour Introduction:
Turkey serves as main bridge between different cultures and regions. The territory around the Sea of Marmara played an important role and served as intermediary point of connection between Europe and Asia. As a result, it had an impact on World History from antiquity to the present. Since the time of colonization by Ancient Greeks seaway straits successfully linked Aegean and Mediterranean Sea with waters of Black Sea by bringing new ideas, valuable knowledge, exotic cultures, and wealthy trade into one region.
Greece is known to the World for its archaeological, cultural, historical gems, and natural beauties. We will explore its fortifications and ancient temples, amphitheaters, and museums, as well as its stunning Aegean beaches which thrill travelers from all over the World. Join us on this fascinating journey of discovery and adventure that will take you back in time of ancient antiquity through fascinating landscapes, exquisite architecture, bustling colorful bazaars and turquoise seashores of the Aegean Sea.
