Bodrum
Boasting Aegean character from its ancient ruins to its flower-filled cafes, Bodrum is the ultimate spot for a seaside getaway.
Mykonos

Santorini’s Helicopter Odyssey
Santorini
Strap in, take a deep breath, and hold tight as you soar over Santorini’s volcanic archipelago. See where black lava and mineral deposits create an array of unique watercolors that can truly be examined from above. Get a bird’s eye view of the iconic sugar cube houses and blue domes sprinkling the cliffside towns of Megalochori, Thirasia, and Oia. On land, a new odyssey awaits as a guide takes you to some of the areas you just saw, but now witness their grandeur in person by exploring on foot.

Turkish Bath Experience
Bodrum
Rejuvenate your body and restore your mind with a traditional Turkish bath. Dating back to the ancient Greco-Roman times, medieval Muslims in Anatolia (Asia Minor) adopted the practice of steam bathing as a ritual cleansing, personal purification, and respect for water. Around 641 AD, Arabs implemented their own Hamam style — incorporating a cool water section after a series of steam and hot water rooms. Here you'll take part in this restorative practice that’s remained intact for centuries.
