Historical Cruises

Turkey is a unique country, often referred to as the place where east meets west. Its 3000 year old history spans the ancient Greek, Persian, Roman and Byzantine empires which have all contributed to the uniqueness and beauty of this vast country.

The beautiful architecture of this country can be seen in its mosques, temples, amphitheatres, and traditional villages.

There are more than 40,000 historical sites in Turkey; of these, only 300 have been excavated thus far. There are more Greek classical remains in good condition than there are in Greece, and more good Roman classical remains in Turkey than there are in Italy!

It's food is a fusion of tastes, although often described as a Mediterranean menu the influence of the east is evident in it's dishes.

Eight countries border Turkey: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast
