Bridging different worlds across the Bosphorus, glimpses of a Byzantine kaleidoscope blend with a new Riiera of balmy shores right around the Black Sea. Ports new to Discovery in Turkey visit Herodotus birthplace and follow Emperor Hadrian's progress. The Roman ruins at Leptis Magna, the site of Carthage, battlefields at El Alamein all line up alond North Africa's coast. Visiting more than a dozen countries, cultures cascade by but each promise to leave a lasting impression. As will the time you'll enjoy in Istanbul and Alexandria where extended two-night calls ease the pace from a canter to a trot.
