Detailed cruise program
  • Day 1: 00:00-22:00

    Istanbul / Turkey

    Istanbul – the largest city in Turkey, located on the Bosphorus. Until 1930 it was known as Constantinople and served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires. The city and its surroundings preserve monuments of ancient civilizations, including temples, palaces and fortifications. Today Istanbul is an important cultural, commercial and industrial hub. Tourists come not only to admire its historic landmarks, but also to shop at world-famous Turkish bazaars, where you can buy spices, jewelry, antiques, colorful hookahs and bargain like a local.

  • Day 2: 08:00-18:00

    Kepez (Canakkale) / Turkey

    Kepez is a coastal town in the province of Çanakkale, Turkey, located 3 km from the city center of Çanakkale. As of 2010, the town had a population of 11,744. To the south of Kepez was the ancient city of Dardanos. North of Dardanos lies the Dardanos Tumulus, where in late 1959, an entrance to a monumental tomb was accidentally discovered and excavated. The tomb, built from finely carved stone blocks, consists of a 5.20-meter-long covered dromos, an antechamber, and a burial chamber.

    Çanakkale, which translates as "fortress of potters," became known for its pottery craft. Its strategic location on the shore of the Dardanelles Strait earned it the name "Gateway to the Aegean Coast" — according to legend, this is where Alexander the Great crossed, followed centuries later by the conquering army of the Ottomans.
