The Mediterranean – a sea of stories.
From these shores, Helen’s beauty launched a thousand ships. Among the marble ruins here, Julius Caesar announced to the Roman Senate: I came, I saw, I conquered. This is where Suleyman the Magnificent had his 300-strong harem, and a 26-year-old Michelangelo began carving the David. Amid the ancient columns on windswept hills and down the labyrinthine lanes of medieval towns, everywhere in the Mediterranean echoes with stories—the stories of Gods, heroes, great civilizations and the valiant deeds of common people.
