On a treasure hunt

With colourful discoveries, delicious scents and bustling activity, the Grand Bazaar entices visitors to enjoy an extraordinary shopping experience in the heart of Istanbul. Along a total of 64 covered streets, around 4,000 shops offer antiques and goldsmiths' work, the finest fabrics, precious stones and many other treasures. Sniff your way through the oriental world of spices, try sweet baklavas and exquisite teas. Your senses will be delighted.

The scent of the south

From Italy's lemon groves to France's lavender fields, the unspoilt landscapes of the Mediterranean will sweeten your experiences with an irresistible variety of Mediterranean scents. Spring in Corsica welcomes you with a veritable explosion of colours and fragrances. In white, pink, purple and countless shades of green, the scrubland formations of the maquis bloom all over the island, exuding an incomparable scent of herbs and eucalyptus, woods and juniper.

Stylish cities

The lively cities of the Mediterranean are true paradises for fashion enthusiasts. In Rome, for example, the exclusive Via Condotti attracts visitors with its major luxury brands, while a stroll through the Monti district leads to excellent vintage shops. In Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter is the top address for handmade fashion and antiques. Coffee house culture and the creations of young Greek designers make a visit to the glamorous Kolonaki district in Athens a real pleasure.

Sand beneath one's feet

Among the numerous dream beaches of the Mediterranean, Myrtos Beach on Kefalonia occupies a top position: bright blue water, white beaches and green mountains form a colourful backdrop for relaxing hours. The beaches of Ibiza are world-famous, where life can be celebrated day and night to the sounds of DJs. You can choose from a multitude of paradise beaches on the coast of Sardinia: small bays, fine sand and magnificent views of Mediterranean nature invite you to relax and do nothing.

To life

Whether in Italy, France or Spain: in southern Europe, it is traditional to get in the mood for the evening with an aperitif after work. In the convivial company of friends and family, you leave everyday life far behind, share the moment and small delicacies such as olives, nuts or tapas, and toast to life with wine, pastis and Aperol – a delightful ritual that embodies the joie de vivre of the Mediterranean.
