Monte Carlo, MONACO, is glamorous, captivating and ultra chic.

Valletta, MALTA, is the European City of Culture 2018, and it’s easy to see why on a visit to this beautiful island. Famous for its quaint harbor full of colorful luzzu fishing boats and bird sanctuary that forms part of the breathtaking panorama, Valletta is home to Mdina, a living medieval city, and fourth-largest unsupported dome in the world.

Walk in the footsteps of gods and goddesses in GREECE. All of the Greek isles are lined with golden beaches and sun-kissed skies, each with its own unique personality. Santorini lies on a volcanic caldera, while Mykonos’ famed windmills are among the most recognizable Greek icons. No city is more powerful and impressive than Athens on the Attic Peninsula. The Acropolis is a must-visit architectural marvel.

TURKEY is a unique country that falls on two continents: Asia and Europe. Visitors can see the influence of both among the grand bazaars and towering spires found throughout the country. The beach-side resorts live in harmony with the historic monuments that line the skyline.
