Detailed Itinerary

ISTANBUL

Istanbul is truly a world city, a city that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. The Ménage a Med trip starts in this exciting city. You should arrive at least 2-3 days early so that you can explore this magnificent city. A host hotel will be announced for our group in the coming months. As Byzantium, Constantinople and finally, Istanbul, it has been the capital of three Empires, each leaving their mark in the form of stunning palaces, castles, mosques, churches and monuments. The legacy of its chequered past can be seen on every turn of the modern city. It is a city of contrasts, bustling with the cacophony of 21st century life, and is yet achingly beautiful. It is set in a stunning location, surrounded by water, which is the narrow strait of the Bosphorus and the serene sea of Marmara separating Europe from Asia. Istanbul has a foot in each, celebrating the best of both heritages. Istanbul's most famous sites - The Blue Mosque or Sultan Ahmet Cami, Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia), Topkapi Sarayi (Palace) and the Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi) - are all within a 30-minute walk of each other.

Limnos
Limnos with one of the prettiest harbors in Greece, beautiful beaches and picturesque, traditional villages untouched by modern-day tourism, hardly fits with any Greek Island stereotypes. It lies low with gently rolling hills, a lush green carpet in the spring that becomes crackling yellow-brown in the summer. The landscape is dotted with fields of grain, quirky scarecrows and beehives. Limnos was famous since antiquity for its vineyards; Aristotle wrote about the traditional red wine of the island, produced from a very ancient and unique variety of grape that he called Limnio (locally referred as Kalambaki).

Mykonos
Start the party because Mykonos is party central. Our plan is to arrive offshore and anchor at the famous paradise beach where we will head ashore on our Zodiacs and spend the day on one of the wildest and party focused nude beaches in the world. As the sun sets we will reposition to old town where we can head ashore late in the evening to party until dawn. When you finally awake the next day you will find that we have repositioned yet again this time anchored off of Super Paradise where you can crawl ashore for another day in the sun, nude of course.

Naxos
Naxos Island is the largest and most fertile of the Cyclades. Due to its important agricultural production, it was one of the latest to open itself to tourism. For that reason, it has kept its authentic beauty which attracts every year more and more visitors. Naxos has a great variety of things to offer to the visitor: impressive mountainous landscapes with many isolated traditional villages, some of Europe’s most beautiful golden sandy beaches, a charming capital with its Venetian quarter, picturesque fishing villages, many Byzantine churches, ruins and active night life. Naxos is world famous for its endless golden sandy beaches with crystal waters situated in the western coast. Some of these beaches has kept their natural beauty and are considered as some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.

Paros
In Lonely Planet's Greece Guide they call Paros a sort of 'poor man's Mykonos'. It’s an island for people who crave style. In Paros you have the island for every man. Rich and poor, from the most culturally aware to the most hedonistic bimbos and jocks, from hippy to computer nerd and from foreigners to Greeks, they all come to Paros in the summertime. Why? Well for one reason just about every ferry stops here. For another reason, once people stop here some people do not want to leave.There are plenty of beautiful beaches of all different sizes and shapes. There are all sorts of water activities from kayaking to windsurfing and sailing. There are yoga classes, Zen Meditation, dancing lessons and horseback riding on the beaches and hills. There are great restaurants and plenty of nightlife including bars that may make you feel like you never left Daytona Beach. And there are hordes of people to interact with. Paros is 'the real thing' as they say.Cap’n barefoot unhesitatingly rates it one of his favorite naturist beaches. On the basis of a recent visit last September many of his contributors think this is among the best beaches in the Cyclades; one said it was reminiscent of the South Seas, another claimed to be in heaven there. The water is clean, you can walk along the beach. Nudity is rampant and encouraged.

Milos
The Greek island of Milos in the Cyclades is a surprise for the traveler adventurous enough to take a detour from Santorini, Mykonos and the other popular islands. Milos, like Santorini is an island that is not only rich in minerals but also in the things that travelers come to Greece looking for: beautiful beaches, history, white-washed Cycladic villages, excellent food and good-hearted people. Milos makes a perfect holiday destination for those who want to experience Greece in all its beauty, without the crowds that are found in the more popular Cyclades Islands.

Athens
Maybe the perfect city to end this adventure and spend a few days. Athens. The city with the most glorious history in the world, a city worshiped by gods and people, a magical city. The enchanting capital of Greece has always been a birthplace for civilization. It is the city where democracy was born and most of the wise men of ancient times. The most important civilization of ancient world flourished in Athens and relives through some of the world's most formidable edifices. ??Who hasn't heard of the Acropolis of Athens? Photos and history of the most famous archaeological monument in Europe have made the world tour causing feelings of admiration by thousands of people. Acropolis is nominated to be one of the 7 wonders of modern world. In fact the trademark of Athens is one of the favorites. The Holy Rock of Acropolis dates back to the 5th BC, the famous Golden Age of Periklis. Athens met times of bloom and decline, but still shines under the Attic sky gazing the future. Still sparkling like the marbles of Parthenon and the limpid white of Pentelic marble.

Detailed Itinerary

St Martin
One of the most popular of all Caribbean destinations, Dutch Sint Maarten and French Saint Martin share this easily accessible island. Less than 2083 km (1250 mi) from Miami, visitors discover rolling hills, exceptional beaches, celebrated restaurants, duty-free shopping, interesting historical sites, casinos and colorful markets. A full complement of land and water activities as well as excursions to nearby islands are easily arranged.

The capital and main city on the Dutch side, Philipsburg, lies on a narrow strip of land between the Great Salt Pond to the north and Great Bay, on the Caribbean Sea, to the south. Lovely old colonial style houses with “gingerbread” fretwork mingle with the duty-free shops, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs lining the two main thoroughfares, Front Street and Back Street. By day and night, the town attracts cruise ship passengers and other island visitors to its many and varied attractions. Maho Bay, adjacent to the island’s international airport at the southern edge of the Simpson Bay Lagoon, is another center of activity with shops, casinos, restaurants and a number of resort hotels.

The towns on the French side have a beguiling West Indian charm combined with certain distinct touches of France: open markets that are typically Caribbean, bakeries that are typically French and seaside cafes that seem to have been transplanted intact from la Côte d'Azur. The capital of Marigot is no longer the sleepy little fishing village it once was. It has awakened to tourism, sprucing up its lovely old houses, building new restaurants, shops, boat slips, marinas, a waterfront promenade, a handsome new market place and a pier for yachts.

Martinique
Martinique is for (beach) lovers. And foodies. And divers. And hikers. And, especially, Franco­philes. A marriage of Gallic culture and Caribbean customs, this overseas department of France is a sunnier, slightly less crowded version of the motherland.

People looking for the more sophisticated pleasures, whether they be the kind you put on your plate or the kind you put on a credit card, will be happy to know that good food and the latest fashions aren’t optional here, but a mandatory fixture wherever visitors congregate - especially in its harbor side capital, Fort-de-France.

Volcanic in origin, the island is crowned by the still-smoldering Mont Pelée, which wiped out Martinique’s former capital of St-Pierre in 1902. There’s plenty of hiking and nature-watching on the slopes of the volcano. And since this is often called the ‘Isle of Flowers’ there are botanical gardens tucked into the rugged landscape.

Long luscious beaches and loads of diving are the main attractions in the south. Fishing villages dot the coasts; most of them have managed to hang on their seafaring soul while offering plenty for visitors to see and do.

There’s a lot going on here, but it all happens on Caribbean time. Except for the mountainous north, it’s an exceptionally easy island to drive around. One can surf at Presqu’île de Caravelle in the morning and make it back to Fort-de-France in time (avoiding rush hour) to sample the city’s budding nightlife.

Bonaire
Bonaire’s worldwide appeal to divers is its amazing reef-lined coast, all of which is a national park. But while no diving (or snorkeling) initiate will be disappointed, Bonaire also has much to offer above the surface, including world-class windsurfing. Although the beaches are mostly slivers of rocky sand, several take on a pink hue from ground coral washed ashore. Also in the pink are the flamingos found throughout the salt flats and mangroves of the south.

Bonaire has a real community feel: your innkeeper may be your divemaster by day or your waiter at a friend’s restaurant at night.

Much of the infrastructure on the island supports diving: where else can you find a hotel with a drive-through air-tank refilling station? However, there are some good restaurants, and the main town of Kralendijk has a modest but enjoyable nightlife.

If you’re not a diver – or an avid reader – you may not find much to fill a week on Bonaire, but a few days will pass delightfully. And just in case you forget why most people come, check out the license plate of the car in front of you, it says: ‘Diver’s Paradise.’

Curacao
Curaçao balances the real with the surreal. The real is a bustling island with a traffic-bedeviled capital, Willemstad. The surreal is all the reasons that make it an appealing place.

It has a rich history dating back to the 16th century and central Willemstad boasts fascinating old buildings and excellent museums. Remnants of plantations dot the countryside and some are now parks. The west coast has oodles of beautiful little beaches, many good for diving.

Aruba
Aruba is the smallest island in the Leeward group of the Dutch Caribbean islands, which also include Bonaire and Curaçao; they are popularly known as the ABCs.

As the westernmost island of the group, Aruba is the final link in the long Antillean chain, lying 20km (12.5 miles) off the Venezuelan coast. The island is 30km (19.6 miles) long and 9km (6 miles) across at its widest, and has a flat landscape dominated by Jamanota Mountain (188m/617ft).

The west and southwest coast, known as Palm Beach, boasts 11km (7 miles) of palm-fringed powder-white sands Lean back and take it easy on Aruba: the best that Caribbean sea, sand and sunshine have to offer. Aruba’s balmy breezes and relaxed pace are just the tonic for any frazzled visitor; just like the soothing aloe vera plant that is found everywhere on the island.

The surrounding waters are populated by colorful creatures such as parrotfish splashed with teal and gold, while bright pink flamingos populate the national park.

Aruba's capital, Oranjestad, also dazzles: orange facades brightly array the architecture, indicating the island's historical ties with The Netherlands - Aruba's head of state is still the Dutch ruling monarch.

Rosario Island, Columbia
Enjoy the Sun, the Air, and the Open Sea as you cruise to a most beautiful place, The Rosario's

The Rosario Islands Natural Park offers private facilities where all can enjoy the natural beauty and nature. There is an impressive open water aquarium, where you'll enjoy a dolphin show, sharks, giant turtles, and all kinds of tropical reef fauna. The islands are coral formations which have grown in size over hundreds of years, so just about anywhere you will find good Snorkling and Scuba Diving.

Also, the Rosario's still waters make it attractive for water sking, canoing, swimming and wind surfing.

Colon, Panama
About 50 miles northwest of Panama City, Colón is home to the northern gateway of the Panama Canal. Colón lies at the very heart of the country's rich history and innovation. This important port town is less than an hour's drive from Panama's most historical attractions, so it's easy to fit in visits to sites like the Panama Railroad, Gatun Locks, and old Spanish fortress Fort San Lorenzo. And of course, crystal blue waters and pure white sand are always a sweet setting

Colón’s is also famous for the Colón Free Zone, a massive shopping showroom where wholesalers, retailers and the general public shop.

3 Exciting Ports - Puerto Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada

Each port along the Mexican Riviera is filled with fun and adventure including kayaking, zip lining, swimming with dolphins, scuba diving and much more. You're never far from a beautiful beach or a good party. And, don't forget the perfect spot on board to partake in the Mexican tradition of the afternoon siesta is right by the pool.
The zip lines here are not your usual casual experience - but the adventurous will love the physical workout of this experience.

Cabo San Lucas
This party town on the southernmost tip of Baja California provides a stunning combination of sea, desert and mountains. Cabo has grown in the past few decades, with new resorts along the beach called "the corridor," frequented by celebrities from Jessica Simpson to John Mayer.

Aside from enjoying the beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, water sports, such as snorkeling, scuba diving and parasailing, are popular and plentiful activities. The marlin fishing off of Cabo is legendary, and championship golf courses are noteworthy, as well. Cabo's large dock has several shops and open-air stalls, where merchants sell everything from woven baskets to shell necklaces and coral jewelry. The town itself offers few exciting highlights, other than rocker Sammy Hagar's "Cabo Wabo Cantina," where the mostly American crowd goes wild nightly.

Cabo's signature landmark is El Arco ("The Arch"), a rock formation at the tip of "Land's End," where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. A boat trip there is a must, if only to come face to face with the hundreds of noisy sea lions who reside on the rock formations. Cruise lines offer a myriad of excursions around El Arco, from glass-bottom boats to catamaran sails. If you have time, hire a water taxi to take you to "Lovers Beach," the only beach in the world bounded by two different oceans.

Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is known for its quaint cobblestone streets, "old world" charm, and thriving nightlife. The walkway along the bay is lined with sculptures, many of which are said to bring good luck to those who touch them. Puerto Vallarta's beaches, especially the unfortunately named Playa de los Muertos, are known for great swimming and other water sports. But, it's the jungle beach experience that sets Puerto Vallarta apart from other Mexican Riviera resorts. Take a boat trip to Yelapa Beach across the Bay of Banderas, tucked at the base of a jungle-covered mountain. A short hike takes you through lush tropical vegetation to a waterfall.

The new Fantasy Resort is located just a few minutes away from the port. This is a great opportunity to go and get a sneak peek of this popular new resort to see if you want to come back for an entire week. You can sign up on board for a day pass (note: day passes are limited, so sign up as soon as you get on board).

Ensenada
This bustling seaport a few hours from the California-Mexico border is known for deep sea fishing, fabulous locally caught lobster, a seafront promenade and great shopping along Avenida Primera. In addition to its beautiful coastline, Ensenada is famous for "La Bufadora," an strong blowhole where tourists gather to hear and see (and often, be drenched by) the geyser. Ensenada is also surrounded by a burgeoning wine district. If time allows, try to visit some of the wineries, such as Cavas Valmar and Bodegas de Santo Tomas. The wines are surprisingly good, and the prices can't be beat!
