• Turkey & Greece: Sailing The Islands

    It is only by sailing the idyllic coasts of the Greek and Turkish Dodecanese that the startling cultural and natural beauty of the region can truly be appreciated. We visit Istanbul and Ephesus, walk into a volcano, snorkel and hike along stunning coastlines, and meander amidst the orchids of Tilos. As we discover this region, we find ourselves surrounded by the relics of a history that produced the tragedies, triumphs, comedies and disasters on which the foundation of classical Western culture was built. We travel along the route where Herodotus pondered his histories, where Brutus met with his conspirators to concoct his Shakespearian betrayal of Julius Caesar, and where Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra paused on their fateful and final visit to Rome.

  • Ecuador: Classic Galapagos Islands

    Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, surrounded by open ocean, a volcanic archipelago straddles the equator. The Galapagos Islands, forged of black lava and named for the giant tortoises that are among its most noted inhabitants, are like nowhere else in the world. Home to a profuse array of wildlife, the islands offer an immersion in nature that feels primeval, where lizards and penguins and bluefooted boobies share the beaches with us, unconcerned by our presence. Herman Melville called the Galapagos Las Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles, an apt moniker for a realm that remains otherworldly, even today.
