 The
Balkans is a land of such great diversity and
textures that one gets the blown up by the colors,
cultures, hospitality, food and landscape. On
our Balkans tours we trace the scene of medieval
Europe with nationalities originating from Serbia,
Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia,
Bosnia, Herzegovina and Slovenia. Not to forget
that all these nationalities also had considerable
influence from the long reign of the Ottoman Turks.
Like many things bottled up, once released, they
burst forth with passion and gusto rarely seen.
This then is the Balkans. It is this churning
energy and passion that will never be forgotten.
Our Balkans tours offer a journey into medieval
Europe at its best, relived. |

Caucasus
Tours and Travels - Countries Visited |
| The Caucasus | 15 | A cultural tour of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia | | The Caspian: From Baku to Tehran | 26 | A cultural tour of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Iran |
 The
Caucasus region sits between the Black Sea on
the West and the Caspian Sea on the East, and
comprises the newly independent states of Armenia,
Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Since 2004, these three
countries have been included in the EU’s
Neighborhood Policy .
The Caucasus Region consists of two highly dependent
net energy importers surrounded by some of the
world’s energy giants (i.e. Russia, Iran,
and to a smaller but growing extent, Azerbaijan).
Energy priorities of the Caucasus countries,
therefore, are two-fold: to diversify their
energy supplies; and to cash in on transit revenues
as their neighbors develop export facilities
which traverse their territory.
The tempestuous history and diverse geography
of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan are intertwined.
The snow-clad Caucasus and Black Sea once formed
a trade route with ancient Greece. Later on,
the Arabs, Ottoman Turks and Mongols ravished
these little known lands. Our Caucasus tours
reveal the abiding beauty and hospitality of
the Caucasus.
Heading east, we cross into Azerbaijan. Our
Caucasus tours journey along an ancient caravan
route, which for centuries has connected Baku
on the Caspian Sea with Tbilisi and the West.
Pausing at Sheki, once famous for its silk-weaving
and embroidery, we visit the exquisite Khan's
Palace and enjoy a walk into the Caucasus foothills.
Our tour ends at Baku, with ample time to wander
the backstreets and bazaars of the Old Town,
a treasure trove of shops and street cafes.

For many years, Russia was one of
the hardest countries to visit. Today
Russia is far more accessible; Moscow
and St Petersburg are mutually complementary.
Moscow, the capital, is hugely enthralling.
Moscow's central core reflects Russia's
long and fascinating history at the
heart of a vast empire, whether in
the relics of the Communist years,
the Kremlin with its palaces and churches
of the tsars or wooden buildings still
tucked away in backstreets.
St Petersburg has been dubbed the
Venice of the North; it is Europe
at its most gracious, an attempt by
the eighteenth-century tsar Peter
the Great to re-create the best of
Western European elegance in what
was then a far-flung outpost. Sculpted
by islands and the sinuous Neva River,
the city is a geometric vista of orderly
elegance, with astounding architecture.
This beautiful creation managed to
escape the architectural incursions
of Stalinism and its grandiose relics
of tsarist days are virtually intact
for you to enjoy.
A journey on the Trans Siberian Railway
is one of the best ways to see this
massive country. The route passes
through endless forests of birch and
pine, log-cabin settlements and vast
steppes until you reach multicultural
Irkutsk, the most appealing city you'll
pass along the line, with its quaint
wooden houses. You'll discover Siberia's
UNESCO World Heritage site of Lake
Baikal - a body of water as big as
Belgium and home to the world's only
freshwater seal. Those who get into
the rhythm of the stops and starts,
and the passing parade of trees and
far-flung towns, will find it an experience
never to be forgotten. |

Turkey
is a country with a multiple identity,
poised between East and West, where
mosques coexist with churches, and remnants
of the Roman Empire crumble alongside
ancient Hittite and Neolithic sites.
Istanbul, the country's cultural and
commercial centre, straddles the Bosphorus
straits and the Marmara coast. The city
is a mix of old and new and also visibly
the old imperial capital, and would
take months of exploration to truly
do it justice.
On the Sea of Marmara are the two earlier
Ottoman capitals, Bursa and Edirne,
and just beyond, the World War I battlefields
of the Dardanelles.
On the Aegean Coast small country towns
are swathed in olive groves, while the
area is full of ancient sites like Assos,
Bergama and Ephesus, which have been
a magnet for travellers since antiquity.
The Aegean coast is Turkey at its most
developed, with resorts like Cesme,
Bodrum and Marmaris.
On the interior of the Anatolian Peninsula
you can explore the spectacular attractions
of Cappadocia, with its famous rock
churches, subterranean cities and landscape
studded with "fairy chimneys", as well
as the Selcuk architecture and dervish
associations of Konya.
Turkey is an immensely rewarding place to
travel, not the least because of the people, whose
reputation for friendliness and hospitality
is well known throughout the world. |
