Bordeaux is often referred to as France’s ‘Sleeping Beauty’ since, after significant government restoration work, the enchanting city today has fully blossomed into a beautiful, gracious Grande Dame.   Bordeaux is the center of the esteemed wine-growing region surrounded by wonderful vineyards and chateaux.

Cutting through the elegant city is the Garonne River which empties into the Atlantic Ocean.  In the past, it served as a port for transporting wine.  Today, cruise ships dock there for a couple days and you can also take a boat ride.
The cityscape is exceptionally beautiful.  You can’t miss the city’s dominant monumental buildings like the towering Gothic St. Andre Cathedral, the Palais de la Bourse and remaining medieval city gates.  You’ll also find beautiful town squares rimmed with cafes and small parks where the locals gather to socialize with family and friends.  A must-see in Bordeaux is the Mirroir d’Eau (reflecting pool).  Any wine lover  should also set aside at least half a day to la Cite du Vin, a unique cultural centre dedicated to the heritage of wine.  The museum is the first of it's kind and offers a spectacular journey around the world, throughout the ages, across countless cultures and civilizations.  La Cité du Vin is a must to see, visit and experience!

Whether you are looking for natural beauty, delectable cuisine, historical sites or idyllic island beaches, Greece offers endless activities and is a magnet for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors.

Greece balances its past, present and future in a way managed by few other countries. The result is a country with endless cultural pursuits. It's easy to understand how so many myths of gods and giants originated in this vast and varied landscape, with wide open skies and a sea speckled with islands, where days melt from one to the next, while you relish the white-sand and palm-fringed beaches. Wander along cobbled, Byzantine footpaths, hike through arid forests, and enjoy a locally caught and produced meal while sitting by the sea on an island in the Aegean.

​Let the Greece you've been imagining fill your senses, whether it's the Parthenon - solitary and pristine - lording over the hazy sprawl of Athens, the rural farmlands of the Peloponnese, the tang of home-made tzatziki, or the blinding light of the Aegean sun over Santorini. The endless miles of aquamarine coastline, sun-bleached ancient ruins, and the Greek's unquestioning hospitality and zest for life make Greece the perfect place for luxury travel. Sip on a glass of ouzo or wine while you tempt your appetite with grilled souvlaki, fresh seafood and strong feta mixed with the purest olive oil on the planet.  
With 6,000 Greek islands to choose from (only 300 are inhabited), why not experience a few of the the lesser known islands that are beyond Mykonos and Santorini?

Kythira Island is the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love,  according to Hesiod (ancient Greek poet who lived during Homer’s time).  It’s a place endowed with great beauty: valleys that end on the seashore; mountainsides dressed in green, or rocky and barren; spring waters gurgling or cascading down the slopes; wonderful beaches; beautiful picturesque little villages,  local tasty dishes, and an architecture that blends the apparent Venetian influences and the style found in Crete.  A good example of this is the Venetian castle dominating the hill above Chora.
