    Starting out from Istanbul, head for the Greek islands: stroll around the narrow streets of Mitilini and while away some time in the shade of the enormous sycamore trees in the charming squares of the mountain village of Agiassos*. The Meteora monasteries* were built several centuries ago hundreds of metres high up on massive rock pillars – one of the scenes in the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only". Discover the beautiful mountain scenery of Mount Pelion* on foot or from the narrow-gauge railway, which is a hundred years old. The luxury of relaxation awaits you at the beach club in Esphesus* and you can view the archaeological site from a bird’s-eye perspective on a microlight flight. On the island of Idra, spend a relaxing day to round off your trip before disembarking in the port of Piraeus.
