A traveller's reflection: 2016 The Aegean Sea Cruise and Turkey Tour

My Travel Journal

"There isn't much I haven't shared with you along the road and through it all there'd always be tomorrow's episode" - Elton John

I started traveling around the world since early 80s when I had the opportunity to combine business trips with vacations. Then later when my rezeki is in abundance, there were numerous other trips along the way for vacations, most of the time with hubby and the kids when the timing is right. I have also started to compile the journal and photo-pages covering almost more than 45 years of world wide travel. Some destinations I visited just once, others many times. Many of those places are the obvious famous places people would like to visit but some, the casual traveler doesn't even think to try. I have placed links to my travel at the side bar of my personal page, My Life Reflections, and will be updating them from time to time.

My wish is to continue my travel and complete circumnavigate the globe, insyaAllah…

THE AEGEAN SEA CRUISE & TURKEY

Date: 14 – 21 April 2016

Route: Istanbul – Izmir – Kusadasi – Patmos – Crete – Santorini – Athens – Mykonos – Kusadasi – Pamukkale – Bursa - Istanbul

After the cancellation of our South American trip because of Zika alert, we opted to go for the Aegean Sea cruise and Turkey tour taking the excursions to four Greek islands of Patmos, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos and explore Athens, the capital city of Greece.

After the Aegean cruise, we disembarked at Kusadasi Port in Turkey and went on a bus tour to visit several cities on the western part of Turkey and visited the many tourist attractions along the way to Istanbul.
