The most important sites to see in Aqaba are: • Aqaba Fort Originally dating from the 14th century AD, although the current structure was built by the Mamluk Sultan el-Ghawri Qansawh (1501-1516) and has been revised many times since. • Ayla, (next to the Moevenpick complex). The ancient city that was established when Islam arrived in the area in 622 AD. • Roman Church of the 4th century: The oldest Christian church in history. • Aqaba Museum: This unique museum is definitely one of the main attractions of Aqaba as it displays a variety of assets, as well as life-size models of traditional life in one of the oldest cities in Jordan.

Heraklion is the capital of Crete and usually the starting point for holiday visitors wishing to explore the island. With about 130,000 inhabitants, it is the fifth largest town in Greece. The city is marked by different influences of Venetians, Saracens, and Greeks. History is very much alive in Heraklion, just like in most Greek cities. All around the old part of the city, a visitor can walk following the old Venetian walls that meet at a bastion called Koules Fortress, which dominates the old harbour of the city. The Venetians began the construction of the city walls in 1462, and they took more than a century to complete. The walls are about 4 km in length and of a triangular shape with seven bastions and are now one of the icons of the city. The central square, surrounded by stores, cafes, and restaurants, is dominated by the fountain of the Lions, built by a Venetian governor in the 17th century. The Archaeological Museum at Heraklion is impressive, and it is the pride and joy of the city. The displays are satisfyingly thorough and well laid out; all aspects of life in Crete from prehistory through to the Roman period are covered in a series of spacious galleries. The Palace at Knossos is the second most popular tourist site in all of Greece, second only to the Acropolis. The site is in incredible shape, and there is much to see. It is also in a beautiful setting with great views over the countryside. Heraklion offers a vast array of historic and archaeological holiday attractions, including its world-famous museum and the nearby site of Knossos, the heart of the ancient Minoan civilisation.

Day 26

split croatia

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 17:00

Split, Croatia’s vibrant coastal hub, blends ancient history with a lively Mediterranean atmosphere. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels more like a living city than a museum. Wander its maze of marble streets, stumble upon hidden courtyards, and admire the mix of Roman, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and the climb up its bell tower for sweeping views over the terracotta rooftops and sparkling Adriatic Sea. The city’s seaside promenade, the Riva, is where locals and visitors converge from morning coffee to late-night cocktails. Lined with palm trees, cafes, and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to people-watch and soak up the Dalmatian lifestyle. Just behind, the bustling Green Market and fish market offer a glimpse of everyday life in Split, with stalls piled high with fresh produce, local cheeses, and seafood straight from the Adriatic. For swimming and relaxation, head to Bačvice Beach, famous for its shallow waters and the local ball game “picigin,” or explore quieter pebbled beaches like Kašjuni and Firule. Nature lovers should hike or bike through Marjan Hill, a forested park offering panoramic viewpoints, small chapels, and secluded coves ideal for a peaceful dip. The shaded trails and sea breezes make it a refreshing escape from the city center. Split also serves as an excellent base for exploring the Dalmatian coast and islands. Everyday ferries and catamarans link the city to Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and Vis, each with its own character—from chic nightlife and vineyards to quiet fishing villages and hidden bays. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, beach lover, or island-hopper, Split offers a compelling mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure.

Day 27

venice, italy

Arrival: 08:00

Venice is a city like no other: a labyrinth of canals, marble palaces, and hidden courtyards floating on the Adriatic. Built on more than 100 small islands, it has no roads—only waterways and narrow alleys that suddenly open onto breathtaking piazzas. At its heart lies St. Mark’s Square, framed by the dazzling Basilica di San Marco, the Doge’s Palace, and the iconic Campanile. From here, you can wander under arcades lined with cafés and listen to live orchestras as the sun sets over the lagoon. The Grand Canal is Venice’s main thoroughfare, curving through the city like a glittering highway of water. Riding a vaporetto (water bus) offers a front-row view of Gothic and Renaissance palaces, their facades reflected in the rippling surface. For a more intimate experience, slip into one of the smaller canals on a gondola and glide beneath low stone bridges, passing quiet neighborhoods where laundry hangs over the water and church bells echo between the walls. Beyond the famous sights, Venice rewards slow exploration. Lose yourself in the districts of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro, where local bacari (wine bars) serve cicchetti—small Venetian tapas—alongside spritz and local wines. Cross the Rialto Bridge to visit its bustling market, where fishmongers and fruit vendors supply the city’s kitchens, and artisans sell Murano glass and traditional masks. Each sestiere (district) has its own character, from elegant San Marco to the more bohemian, artsy feel of Dorsoduro. Venice also makes an ideal base for exploring the lagoon islands. Take a short boat ride to Murano, famous for its centuries-old glassmaking tradition, where you can watch master glassblowers at work. Continue to Burano, a photographer’s dream with its brightly painted houses and lace workshops, and then on to Torcello, a peaceful island with ancient churches and a rare sense of quiet. Whether you come for art, history, or romance, Venice offers a dreamlike atmosphere that lingers long after you leave.
