Trip Summary
3 nights in Istanbul
Istanbul is one of the truly great romantic cities. Istanbul is home to a layering of civilization on civilization, of empire built on empire. A stroll through this historic city will reveal ancient Roman hippodromes, peristyles, and aqueducts, the greatest excesses of the Byzantine Empire and the mystique and power of the Ottoman Empire. In this sprawling, continent-spanning city you can tramp the streets where crusaders and janissaries once marched; admire mosques that are the most sublime architectural expressions of Islamic piety; peer into the sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Kapali Carsi.
Visit and explore the Ayasofya,Topkapi Palace, Dolmabahce Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar and the Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Suleymaniye Camii, St. Savior in Chora, the New Mosque, Galata Tower, Taksim Square, the Hippodrome and so much more.
2 nights in Antananarivo
Antananarivo, also known as Tana, occupies a strategic point at the center of the island of Madagascar. Two forts watch over the city from the east and southwest, while within the city limits lay royal palaces, embassies, some fifty churches and a mosque. The city's most distinguishing feature may be the burnt out remains of the Rova, or Queen's Palace, situated on a prominent hill. Its steep alleys and stairways make Antananarivo a challenging but rewarding city to explore on foot.
Visit and discover the Discover Madagascan History at the Musée Andafiavaratra, Make the Pilgrimage to Ambohimanga, Visit the Musée de l'Art et de Archeologie, Meet Madagascar's Iconic Primates at Lemurs' Park, and so much more.
3 nights in Mauritius Island
Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, where white sandy beaches and luxury hotels are abundant. The island is loaded with historic sights, cultural diversity, geographic variation and almost limitless activities to distract you from the daily grind of beach and pool. But perhaps its biggest asset is the relaxed charm of its warm, multiethnic, multi-religious, multicultural, and welcoming people.
Enjoy the Mauritius Botanical Garden, Black River Gorges National Park, Île aux Cerfs Island, Port Louis, Grand Bassin, Chamarel park - 7 colored earth and Chamarel falls, Trou aux Cerfs, Ile aux Aigrettes, Gabriel Island, Eureka Creole House, and so much more!
Apart from Russia, no other country can stake such a proud claim to bridging `the East and the West` like <b>Turkey</b>, which sits astride two continents. It is called the `Cradle of Civilization`, where there are more Roman archaeological sites than in all of Italy, and more ancient Greek ruins available for viewing by the public than in Greece. The history from the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and finally the modern Turkish nation are all on display here, and the Turkish vacation experience can encompass everything from being in the hustle and bustle of a metropolis, to attending a whirling dervish dance ceremony, to sunning yourself on the country`s beautiful shores, to climbing mountains and skiing at top resorts, to enjoying an iconic hot-air balloon ride over the Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia.
About 300 miles east of southern Africa, across the Mozambique Channel, lies the island of <b>Madagascar</b>. Best known for its lemurs, colorful chameleons, stunning orchids, and towering baobab trees, Madagascar is home to some of the world's most unique flora and fauna.
