Publisher's Synopsis
In this edition of Cruise Travel Destinations, we explore world heritage sites and sacred destinations; from a city carved into the walls of towering sandstone mountains to Jerusalem, "The Holy City," a sacred pilgrimage city with an overwhelming spiritual experience, and on to the Greek Islands, which have long been a source of fascination, offering an air of relaxation and a peaceful getaway from big city life. In this general interest travel guide with uniquely displayed pictorial illustration and storyboard wording, you are taken to lands that conjure up visions of white sandy beaches, turquoise blue seas, small harbours filled with little gaily painted fishing boats, romantic sunsets...and ouzo. The Greek Islands possess an overwhelming warmth and charm, unique to the Greek way of life. Stopping at ports along the Turkish coastline and entering the historic Dardanelles we journey to the infamous city of Istanbul and enter the Black Sea via the Bosporus for a brief look at Bulgaria and the Ukraine. This edition serves as another great snapshot of travel destinations. Cruise Travel Destination editions for the Baltic, South America, Asia, and more Mediterranean ports to follow shortly.
