Shanghai: Jewish Quarter Tour (4 hours)
<p><span><span>Half day tour to Jewish Quarter in Shanghai<br />
<br />
<strong>Background</strong><br />
<br />
Shanghai was the only city in the world that provided a safe home for World War II refugees without papers. As a result, approximately 32,000 Jews, known among themselves as "Shanghailanders," settled in this fascinating Chinese city. Like the names Schindler, Wallenberg and Sugihara, Shanghai has become synonymous with rescue and refuge during the fascist-dictated times when 6 million Jews perished and at least 35 million Chinese were killed and wounded. At one point, there were at least seven synagogues in Shanghai, but today very little evidence of this once vital community remains.</span></span><br />
</p>
<strong>Highlights</strong><br />
<br />
Ohel Moishe Synagogue. The Ohel Moishe Synagogue is a European style temple that was once the centerpiece of the Hongkou District. The original synagogue was founded in 1907 by a Russian Jew, and was moved to this site twenty years later. Once a synagogue for Orthodox Russian and German Jews, it was also at various times, the headquarters of the Zionist youth organization Brith Trumpeldor (Betar) and the isolation ward of the Shanghai Mental Hospital. The synagogue is now a recognized historical site and a Jewish Refugees Memorial has been built next to it.

Shanghai: Jewish Quarter Tour (4 hours)
<p><span><span>Half day tour to Jewish Quarter in Shanghai<br />
<br />
<strong>Background</strong><br />
<br />
Shanghai was the only city in the world that provided a safe home for World War II refugees without papers. As a result, approximately 32,000 Jews, known among themselves as "Shanghailanders," settled in this fascinating Chinese city. Like the names Schindler, Wallenberg and Sugihara, Shanghai has become synonymous with rescue and refuge during the fascist-dictated times when 6 million Jews perished and at least 35 million Chinese were killed and wounded. At one point, there were at least seven synagogues in Shanghai, but today very little evidence of this once vital community remains.</span></span><br />
</p>
<strong>Highlights</strong><br />
<br />
Ohel Moishe Synagogue. The Ohel Moishe Synagogue is a European style temple that was once the centerpiece of the Hongkou District. The original synagogue was founded in 1907 by a Russian Jew, and was moved to this site twenty years later. Once a synagogue for Orthodox Russian and German Jews, it was also at various times, the headquarters of the Zionist youth organization Brith Trumpeldor (Betar) and the isolation ward of the Shanghai Mental Hospital. The synagogue is now a recognized historical site and a Jewish Refugees Memorial has been built next to it.

Between the 15th and 19th centuries, Hoi An known then as ‘Faifo’, was a prosperous trading port, attracting Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish ships amongst others. Today, this World Heritage ancient town is recognised for its well-preserved architecture, pedestrian-only streets and distinctive local cuisine, allowing visitors a glimpse of its illustrious past. Hoi An’s narrow lanes are ideal for a guided walking tour of its many atmospheric sights including: the<strong> old merchant houses</strong> with influences from Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese architecture; the 400-year-old <strong>Japanese Covered Bridge, </strong>first built in the 1590s by the Japanese community to link them with the Chinese quarters across the stream; the <strong>Assembly Hall</strong> <strong>of the Chaozhou Chinese Congregation</strong> with its intricate woodcarvings; and <strong>the colourful market</strong> with stalls brimming with local specialties including silk, which can be turned into fashionable garments within a day or two.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span>Lunch is on your own.</span><br />
<br />
<span>After lunch, meet with Mr. <strong>Huynh Van Trung</strong> who was born in a traditional lantern making family and learn about the silk lanterns. Silk lanterns, the simple yet colorful handicraft is now an essential part of Hoi An culture. The lantern is inspired and hand-made by local artisans and is meant to bring good fortune. It has really made a comeback thanks to an experienced man - Trung inherits valuable skills in making lanterns from his father - the well-known artisan Huynh Van Ba. Chat with him for a brief introduction to the history, shape, and color of the lanterns as well as the stages of production. Try creating your own lantern and take it home as a souvenir.</span><br />
<span>Later, transfer by road back to the port to embark the ship.</span><br />

Bangkok Palace, Temples and Textiles - 10 hours
Enjoy a private transfer to Bangkok, Thailand's vibrant and alluring capital. With local insights from your professional guide, explore the city's cultural and historical landmarks. Start with a visit to the Grand Palace, which has served as the official residence of Thai kings since 1782. Comprising several halls, pavilions and courtyards, the palace complex is one of the most beautiful examples of the Siamese court, adorned with glittering gold lacquer and glass mosaics. Walk around the compound to see the Throne Hall, the Coronation Hall, the Reception Palace and the Funeral Palace.<br />
<br />
Continue to Wat Pho. Built during the period of King Rama I nearly 200 years ago, this temple is home to a large reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf. The image measures 45 meters (150 feet) long and almost 15 meters (50 feet) high. Wat Pho is considered the first center of public education and is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.<br />
<br />
You are then transferred to Jim Thompson House, a traditional Thai teak home and garden, where you have the option to enjoy a Thai set lunch at the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Explore the house and learn about the history of the Jim Thompson Thai Silk Company and its founder, James H.W. Thompson. The American entrepreneur and architect played an important role in reviving the dying silk industry and the company continues to produce some of the finest examples of Thai silk today. Discover his private art collection, which includes historical Buddhist statues, Asian antiques and traditional Thai paintings. You can also visit the silk shop selling high-end silk products, garments and souvenirs. Then transfer back to the ship.<br />

Phuket Town Sightseeing
<span>Disembark the ship and meet your guide. Depart on a drive along the Phuket coastline past <strong>Karon Beach and Kata Beach </strong>to a viewpoint where you can see Phuket’s three most beautiful beaches. Continue to <strong>Promthep Cape </strong>at the southernmost point of Phuket for its best viewpoint of the coastline. Drive by <strong>Rawai Beach </strong>and visit <strong>Wat Chalong</strong>, Phuket’s largest and most revered temple, built at the beginning of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. Continue on to Nakkerd Hill to see one of the island’s iconic landmarks, the 45m (147ft) tall <strong>Big Buddha</strong>, impressively layered with beautiful Burmese white jade marble. After enjoying a tasty <strong>Thai set lunch</strong> at a local restaurant by the sea (non-alcoholic drink included), stop at a <strong>cashew factory</strong> to see how the nuts are grown and processed. Drive back to Old Phuket to see the charming <strong>Sino-Portuguese shophouses</strong> on <strong>Thalang </strong>and <strong>Debuk Roads, </strong>reflecting the architecture of people who came to Phuket centuries ago for its tin mining industry. Finally, visit <strong>Sapanhin, </strong>a beautiful public park by the sea popular with local families on weekends. Stop by the nearby Chinese shrine before returning to the port and your ship.<br />

Delos island tour approx 4 hours
<span>Delos, once a Sacred Island, is the legendary birthplace of the Sun God Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Its religious significance coupled with a good harbour and strategic location on the Aegean trade routes enabled Delos to flourish for 500 years. Today, the only remaining inhabitants are its treasured ruins and their caretakers. </span><br />
<span>Visit the marbled streets of the Agora and Sacred Way, the Sanctuary of Apollo, the theatre, the Sanctuary of the Foreign Gods and the Sacred Mount Cynthus. View the remains of a Hellenistic Quarter with its harbours, water houses and luxurious villas, including the Houses of Cleopatra, the Dolphin, the Masks and the House of Dionyssos. Marvel at the spectacular Avenue of the Lions, where five proud Naxian marble beasts from the 7th Century BC crouch, vigilant guardians of the Sacred Lake, which stands dry today. A small museum on the island displays artefacts from the site.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span><span>Tips: </span></span></strong><span><span>Wear flat, comfortable walking shoes, there is a lot of walking over cobbled paths. Carry a cold bottle of water with you on hot days, wear lots of sunscreen and preferably a hat, as there is no shade on the island</span></span><br />

Kusadasi Port - The Glories of Ephesus (Full Day Tour)
<div align="center">
<p><span><strong>PORT: KUSADASI<br />
GLORIES OF EPHESUS <br />
Full-Day Tour</strong></span></p>

<p><br />
<span>Arrive in Kusadasi, you will meet your professional guide, holding a name sign outside of the terminal building at the port for your full- day tour in Ephesus.</span></p>

<p><span>First, you will visit the <strong>House of Virgin Mary</strong>, where the Virgin is said to have lived the last years of her life. The building was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Lazartis from Smyrna based on the vision of a German nun. The site is officially declared a shrine of the Roman Catholic Church and visited by Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2007.</span></p>

<p><span>Then, you will drive to <strong>Ephesus</strong>, enter and view the <strong>Odeon Theatre</strong>, where state affairs and concerts were held. Walk down the marble walkway and visit the Hadrian Temple. It was dedicated in 118 AD to Hadrian, Artemis, and the people of Ephesus but greatly reconstructed in the 4th century. This impressive Corinthian style temple has beautiful reliefs on the porch. According to the belief of Ephesians, the Medusa head on the porch, would protect the city from its enemies.</span></p>

<p><span>A special visit will be made to the spectacular <strong>Terrace Houses (Villas)</strong> located on top of the hill within the Ephesus. They have a fantastic view of the entire city of Ephesus. They were inhabited by wealthy Ephesians, and are finely decorated with incredible examples of mosaics and frescos. The Terrace Houses were brought to light in excavations carried out since the 1980s by a team of Austrian archeologists. Along with those in Pompeii, they constitute some of the most vivid examples of Roman domestic architecture to survive to the present.<br />
<br />
Next, you will proceed to the<strong> Celsus Library</strong>, The library is the best preserved structure of its kind. The inscription on the side of the building’s front staircase says that the library was build by Julius, in his father’s honor, after his death. His father, Celsus was the Roman governor of Asia Minor early in the 2nd century AD. His tomb is in the library as well.</span></p>

<p><span>Next, visit the <strong>Great Theatre</strong>, dating back to the Hellenistic period. In the 1st century AD it was successfully reconstructed and expanded by the Romans until it reached the seating capacity of 25,000. This is also the place where it is believed that St.Paul preached. It is still used for performances today.</span></p>

<p><span><strong>Lunch </strong>recommended at a local restaurant.</span></p>

<p><span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">First, you will visit the <strong>House of Virgin Mary</strong>, where the Virgin is said to have lived the last years of her life. The building was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Lazartis from Smyrna based on the vision of a German nun. The site is officially declared a shrine of the Roman Catholic Church and visited by Pope Paul VI in 1967, Pope John Paul II in 1979 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2007. </font></span></p>

<p><span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Then, you will drive to <strong>Ephesus</strong>, enter and view the <strong>Odeon Theatre</strong>, where state affairs and concerts were held. Walk down the marble walkway and visit the <strong>Hadrian Temple</strong>. It was dedicated in 118 AD to Hadrian, Artemis, and the people of Ephesus but greatly reconstructed in the 4th century. This impressive Corinthian style temple has beautiful reliefs on the porch. According to the belief of Ephesians, the Medusa head on the porch, would protect the city from its enemies. </font></span></p>

<p><span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Next, you will proceed to the <strong>Celsus Library</strong>, The library is the best preserved structure of its kind. The inscription on the side of the building’s front staircase says that the library was build by Julius, in his father’s honour, after his death. His father, Celsus was the Roman governor of Asia Minor early in the 2nd century AD. His tomb is in the library as well. </font></span></p>

<p><span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Next, visit the <strong>Great Theatre</strong>, dating back to the Hellenistic period. In the 1st century AD it was successfully reconstructed and expanded by the Romans until it reached the seating capacity of 25,000. This is also the place where it is believed that St.Paul preached. It is still used for performances today. </font></span></p>

<p><span><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">At the end of your day, you will return to Kusadasi and have some time for shopping in town before you embark your ship.</font></span></p>

Kusadasi: Ancient Ephesus Tour - 7 hours
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">An English speaking lecturer/guide will meet the guests at the exit of the cruise pier in KUSADASI. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">After a short drive to Ephesus, the guests experience their private tour of this fascinating historical site. First, a visit will be made to the remarkable Greco-Roman archeological city of Ancient Ephesus, that flourished as a prominent cultural city and seaport between 600 BC and 500 AD. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The walking tour will begin along the Royal Road also known as the Arcadian Way, the 4th century white marble chariot thoroughfare whose most striking sight today is the two-story Library of Celsus. Uniquely beautiful, the Library once housed 12,000 scrolls of papyrus manuscripts making it the second largest library in the ancient world after the one in Alexandria, Egypt. The walk along the Royal Road also takes the visitors past the remains of some of the ancient city’s major civic buildings and temples as you move toward the Ephesus Theater from which St. Paul once preached to the Pagan Ephesians. The theater, seating 25,000 has exceptional acoustics and is still in use today for concerts and theatrical performances in summertime. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Then move to see the ongoing excavations of the Greco-Roman places-the “Elite Yamac Homes of Antiquity” (Terrace Houses) with their magnificent mosaics and frescoes. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">From here, the guests will proceed to the small, but distinguished and rightly famous Ephesus Museum with unique examples of the very best Greco-Roman sculpture in the world, and with an exciting new display of Medical instruments from that era. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Finally, drive up the mountainside to visit to the so-called House of the Virgin Mary, a lovely chapel set in the hills behind Ephesus, said by some to be the last home of the Virgin Mary, where St. Paul took her for her safety away from the Pagan Ephesians. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">At the end of the tour, you will be transferred to your hotel or to your cruise ship. </font></p>

Kusadasi: Priene Day Tour - 7 hours
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The guests will be met by a lecturer/guide at the exit of the pier in KUSADASI and drive south to visit Priene. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This ancient city is not especially large, but has an unusual intimacy and charm, in part because so many historical private houses have survived to this day. All the monuments you will see, date from the Hellenistic period, and all of them are aligned according to a strict grid-plan of the kind developed by Hippodamos, a native of neighboring Miletus. The monuments include the Temple of Zeus, a council chamber, and a small amphi-theatre. Yet Priene’s greatest treasure is its Temple of Athena, which was considered the masterpiece of the architect Pytheos who also designed the Mausoleum at Halicarnassos (Bodrum) known to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">After exploring Priene, the guests will cross the broad flood-plain of the river Maeander to continue to Miletus. This was once a major port but silt carried down by the River Meander blocked its harbor centuries ago. The ancient harbor is now several miles from the sea. The town is laid out according to a grid-plan designed by Hippodamos, which centers on three spacious agoras (marketplaces) today. The most striking features of the site today are the Baths of Faustina and the massive Roman Theatre.<br />
<br />
A paved Sacred Way leads from Miletus to Dydima, not a classic town but rather a sacred precinct centering on a colossal Temple of Apollo surrounded by a double colonnade of no less than 108 huge columns. Work on the temple continued for 500 years, but its design was so ambitious that, when work was abandoned in the 4th C. AD, it was still unfinished. Even unfinished and in ruins, the temple at Dydima remains to be one of the most awe-inspiring antique monuments to be found anywhere around the Eastern Mediterranean. </font></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">At the end of the tour, the guests will be escorted back to their hotel or to the pier in KUSADASI. </font></p>

Ephesus Theater, seating 25,000 has exceptional acoustics and is still in use today for concerts and theatrical performances.<br />
<br />
Your tour will continue in Sirince. This pretty old Orthodox village was once Cirkince ("ugly"). Indeed its habitants gave this name on purpose as they did not want to be bothered by foreigners to share the beauty of their village.<br />
<br />
Still after years, visitors understood that the village was not ugly at all and called it Sirince ("pretty"). As the village is located on the top of a mountain, anyone will enjoy the impressive wine yards' and peach trees' views on his way. Today the village is a perfect synthesis of Turk-Greek culture as of the 1920's: after the Independence War, people exchange between Greek and Turks has occurred and all those typical Greek houses, though they kept their original outside characteristics, have received the local layout inside.<br />
<br />
After a wonderful home-style lunch at a local restaurant, your guide will show you the village. You will see local women in the authentic narrow streets of the village, selling handcrafts of all kinds, olive oil and handmade soaps. The village is also famous with its wine and you have the opportunity to visit a wine house. You can taste and buy several kinds of wines, from apple to strawberry.<br />

Kusadasi Port - Three Ancient Cities; Didyma, Miletus & Priene (Full Day Tour)
<div><span><strong><span>SHORE EXCURSIONS<br />
KUSADASI<br />
THREE ANCIENT CITIES</span></strong></span><br />
</div>
<span><span>Arrive in Kusadasi,you will meet your professional guide at the port and drive to three ancient cities.<br />
<br />
Your first stop will be <strong>Priene</strong>. The ancient harbor city of Priene probably changed its location when the silt of the Meander River threatened to bury it. Now it is nearly 16 km away from the sea. The original place of the city has never been found but it was probably a peninsula with two harbors. Priene was laid out on a Hippodamian system of grid plan at the foot of a spectacular cliff on mount Mycale and contained many famous examples of Hellenistic art and architecture.All the streets intersect at the right angles.<br />
<br />
Next, visit <strong>Miletus</strong><span> an ancient city located near the present Akkoy at the mouth of the Buyuk Menderes (Meander) River, owed its importance to its position on trade routes. It was one of the largest cities in Anatolia with a population of between 80,000 and 100,000. Highly prosperous, it founded many colonies and was the home of the 6C BC philosophers Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Thales, the town planner Hippodamus and architect Isidorus. Miletus seems to have produced geniuses the way Aphrodisias produced sculptors.</span><br />
<br />
<strong>Lunch</strong><u> suggested</u> at local restaurant.<br />
<br />
Last, you will visit <strong>Didyma</strong>. The word Didyma meant "twins" and was associated by some as being the meeting place of Zeus and Leto to have their twins Apollo and Artemis. Didyma was famed as a prophecy center dedicated to Apollo which served a similar purpose as the Delphi of Anatolia. It was not a city but a sanctuary linked to Miletus by Milesians with a 19 km/12 m sacred road. However, this road may not have been constructed until the end of the 1C AD. In addition to pilgrimages made by sea, some festivals of drama, music and sports were held there every four years.<br />
<br />
At the end of your tour, you can return to Kusadasi.<br />

Kusadasi Port - Ephesus & Didyma & Miletus (Full Day Tour)
<p><span><span>Arrive in Kusadasi, you will meet your professional guide, holding a name sign outside of the terminal building at the port for private full day sightseeing. <br />
<br />
First, visit <strong>Ephesus,</strong> famous throughout the ancient world for its Temple of Artemis. You will first visit Odeon Theatre where the state affairs used to be held. Then, view The <strong>Temple of Hadrian</strong> is one of the main attractions at <a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/turkey/ephesus.htm"><span>Ephesus</span></a>, with a beautiful arch on the front facade and interesting reliefs of Medusa. According to the belief of Ephesians, the Medusa head on the porch, would protect the city from its enemies.<br />
<br />
<span>Next, you will visit the newly excavated spectacular </span><strong><span>The Terrace Houses</span> </strong><span>on the Curetes street belonged to the rich people of Ephesus. Many of them were three-storied and had peristyles surrounded by rooms without windows but included frescoes and mosaics of mythological scenes. Some of the frescoes were scenes from the comedies of Menander and the tragedies of Euripides. They were luxuriously furnished private houses with fountains and central heating. Between the street and houses was a portico with a mosaic floor, behind which were shops.</span></span></span></p>
<span>Proceed to The <strong>Celsus Library</strong> is a Roman mausoleum and library built in the early 2nd century AD. The Library of Celsus was comissioned by the Julius as a mausoleum for his father, Roman governor of the Asian Provinces. It is one of the most beautifully reconstructed buildings in <a href="http://www.sacred-destinations.com/turkey/ephesus.htm"><span>Ephesus</span></a>, it has become an icon of the ancient city.</span>

<p><span><span><strong>The Great Theatre</strong><em>, </em>dates back to the Hellenistic period. It <span>is one of the most impressive buildings in Ephesus which </span>has the capacity of 25,000 seats. The theatre was used for concerts, plays and religious, political and philosophical discussions and for gladiator and animal fights. <strong>Marble Road</strong>, runs between the Library of Celsus and the theater and is a part of the sacred walk way. <br />
<br />
Then, you will drive approximately 1½ hours to visit the ancient cities of Miletus and Didyma.<br />
<br />
<strong>Lunch</strong><u> suggested</u> at a local restaurant.<br />
<br />
Next, visit <strong>Miletus</strong><span> an ancient city located near the present Akkoy at the mouth of the Buyuk Menderes (Meander) River, owed its importance to its position on trade routes. It was one of the largest cities in Anatolia with a population of between 80,000 and 100,000. Highly prosperous, it founded many colonies and was the home of the 6C BC philosophers Anaximander, Anaximenes, and Thales, the town planner Hippodamus and architect Isidorus. Miletus seems to have produced geniuses the way Aphrodisias produced sculptors.</span><br />
<br />
Last, you will visit <strong>Didyma</strong>. The word Didyma meant "twins" and was associated by some as being the meeting place of Zeus and Leto to have their twins Apollo and Artemis. Didyma was famed as a prophecy center dedicated to Apollo which served a similar purpose as the Delphi of Anatolia. It was not a city but a sanctuary linked to Miletus by Milesians with a 19 km/12 m sacred road. However, this road may not have been constructed until the end of the 1C AD. In addition to pilgrimages made by sea, some festivals of drama, music and sports were held there every four years.<br />
