Brindisi

Brindisi Shore Excursions

5 February, 2018

Dating back to 312BC, the Appian Way was one of the most important roads ever built under the Roman Empire. Heading south out of Rome this thoroughfare would eventually reach the port city of Brindisi in the ‘heel of Italy’ from where shipping routes with Greece and Egypt were established. The city’s strategic importance remains important to this day in helping facilitate trade with Greece and the Middle East. The port is more accustomed to seeing ferry traffic than cruise

The Best Breakfasts, Part 1: Turkey

2 February, 2018

In Turkey, the love affair with good food is embodied in the way that locals start their day. Breakfast is not merely a meal – it is a family gathering; a sit-down event intended to be savoured and enjoyed mindfully and decadently. The typical line-up for a Turkish breakfast usually includes a variety of breads, cheeses, butter, honey, jam, eggs, meats, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, which are all washed down with copious amounts of strongly brewed tea. If you’re travelling
