Italy, Greece & TurkeyWhy Go?Europe seems to ramp up the intensity as you head south-east – from the food to the sights to the scenery and the zest for life. This is where you dig into the freshest pasta, relish the tangiest local cheeses and savour the most aromatic pastries. Visit vineyards in Italy, drink ouzo with locals in Greek villages and experience Turkey’s teahouses. You will witness history firsthand: sights like Pompeii, the Acropolis and Ephesus are merely the sprinkles on the gelato. The region is a cultural parade as well. See dervishes whirling; visit monasteries honed out of rock or built atop soaring pinnacles; get pampered in a Turkish bath; paddle down Venice’s canals; lose yourself in Rhodes’ walled, medieval city; and gaze up, spellbound by the Sistine Chapel. And as if this wasn’t enough to lure you, it’s all ringed by bewitch-ing turquoise waters, silky soft sand and sunset-coloured cliffs. Prepare yourself: the southeast is boundless and magnetic.
