adventures in the Aegean <strong>Sea</strong>: Kusadasi (Izmir) – Istanbul<br />
The magic of the Cyclades<br />
Houses like sugar cubes, blue window-frames, narrow<br />
winding streets lined with flowers, windmills and small<br />
churches – Mykonos, perhaps the most famous of the<br />
Cyclades islands, could have come straight from a book.<br />
With fishing boats bobbing in the harbour, elegant restaurants,<br />
quaint taverns and sophisticated cafés which are<br />
perfect for whiling away the hours, and the promenade<br />
offering visitors a spectacular view of a romantic sunset.<br />
The island of Patmos –<br />
the “Jerusalem of the Aegean”<br />
When exploring the picturesque island of Patmos, it is hard<br />
to imagine that this was once the scene of apocalyptic<br />
visions. But this is the firm belief of Greek Orthodox<br />
Christians. The monastery, built in honour of Saint John<br />
the Theologian, is a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site<br />
and the entire island is a pilgrimage site for worshippers.<br />
The charming capital of the Cyclades<br />
Ermoupolis, capital of the island of Syros and the entire<br />
Cyclades, was built on two hills and is a unique architectural<br />
accomplishment. A great number of monumental<br />
neo-classical buildings create the impression of a sophisticated<br />
city. As you ascend, you will witness the opulence<br />
and vastness of this construction give way to a maze of<br />
narrow passages, creating a more medieval atmosphere.<br />
But wherever you are in this city, you will see that the<br />
cafés and taverns are filled with Greeks alone and the<br />
hoards of tourists are nowhere to be seen.<br />
A lecturer accompanies the trip<br />
