INTOXICATING ISTANBUL. Istanbul exudes a heady mix of Western and exotic cultures. One of the city’s most stunning centrepieces is Hagia Sophia. Founded as a basilica, during its history it has been a museum and an active mosque featuring exquisite mosaics and frescoes. For a taste of Turkish culture, visit the Grand Bazaar, the world’s largest covered market. Wander among its selection of carpets and fabric, and sample luscious dates or the local favourite Turkish Delight. Bet Re Pah (ao THE RIVIERA’S GEM. The chic city of Monte Carlo in the petite kingdom of Monaco boasts some of the world's most exclusive shopping and a beautiful old port. Throughout this city and at the Prince’s Palace, take in the fairy-tale setting of the late American- actress-turned-princess, Grace Kelly. Perhaps you will follow your nose to the legendary perfumeries of Grasse. As we stay late in port, there will be time to visit the prestigious Casino de Monte-Carlo. NEOPOLITAN GASTRONOMY. Naples boasts a distinctive cuisine all its own. Seasonal produce features prominently, particularly such New World imports as peppers, beans, potatoes and tomatoes. Meat dishes often use sausage or pork liver. And classic Neopolitan desserts include sfogliatelle (a filled layered pastry) and pastiera cheesecake (made with ricotta and wheatberries). During your time here, be sure to sample these regional favourites. ATILE’S TALE. Everywhere you look—from churches and palaces to train stations and park benches— Portugal is decorated with azulejos. Tin- glazed ceramic tiles, azu/ejos are used on floors, walls and ceilings as both a decorative and functional element. Originating from Moorish traditions, tiles are arranged in geometric patterns. In the late 17th century, Delft influenced a change to the blue-and- white portrayal of scenes from Portuguese history and culture.
