7 Nächte. Italien, Griechenland, Malta

Tag 1

catania,sicily,italy

Abfahrt: 17:00

Catania is the second largest city in Sicily. Buried seven times by fierce eruptions of the Etna volcano and several earthquakes, much of its monuments have been destroyed. Nonetheless, the old town is well maintained, so much so, that it was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002. In the city center visitors will be able to enjoy the major feature of the city: its baroque architecture. The main examples are the Cathedral Square, Piazza del Duomo ,with the Elephant Fountain, the adorned Cathedral, founded in the 11th century on the ruins of the ancient baths and the impressive 13th century Ursino Castle. The remains of the Roman and Greek heritage can still be witnessed at the former Acropolis of Katane that includes the Roman Theatre, built by Greeks and reconstructed by Romans, the Odeon and the Amphitheatre. Chaotic, noisy and boisterous, Catania’s nightlife is buzzing, hundreds of bars, clubs and eateries are at hand where to get infected with the joie de vivre of the city’s population.

santorini, greece

Anreise: 08:00 - Abfahrt: 18:00

Formed by the massive volcanic eruption which gave rise to the Atlantis legend, Santorini is the most striking island in the Aegean. The island is actually the outer rim of a sunken volcano, its entire eastern coast is a succession of small towns perched on high hills. Fira is the island’s dramatically situated capital. Perched on the cliffs, overlooking the sea, the town of Fira shares with the Parthenon the fame of the best known images of Greece. The narrow streets are filled with souvenir shops, lovely boutiques and a lot of jewellery shops. It has two beautiful churches, the Greek Orthodox and the Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist. It also has a small local museum. Nightlife in Fira is also quite lively with good restaurants and bars, plus a few nightclubs. The city is a spectacle in itself, with a climax at sunset. Another great place to enjoy the sunset is the town of Ia, a small village clinging to the rocky point of land at the northern tip of the island, 300m above the sea. The beaches in Santorini are much different than other beaches in Greece due to their special geographical features. Red and black volcanic pebbles lay the shores of Santorini beaches and steep cliffs provide a picturesque ambience. The most famous of Santorini beaches is the Red beach, while particularly popular are Perissa, Kamari and Perivolos. Santorini is a truly wonderful destination. The siting of some of its major towns along the clifftop rim of the caldera is one of the most spectacularly lovely sights in the world. The buildings seem to defy gravity in the way they cling to the cliffs and are stacked one on top of the other like so many sugar cubes. The sandy, multicoloured beaches are simply the icing on the cake.

Tag 5

mykonos, greece

Anreise: 08:00 - Abfahrt: 20:00

Mykonos ist ein beliebtes Touristenziel auf den griechischen Inseln der Kykladengruppe, mitten in der Ägäis gelegen. In den 1960er Jahren wurde Mykonos zu einem böhmischen Mekka und ist heute einer der schillerndsten Ferienorte des Landes, der seinen knisternden Stil und Ruf zur Schau stellt. Diese zentrale Kyklade war jahrelang der führende mediterrane Ferienort für schwule Reisende, obwohl Mykonos in letzter Zeit versucht hat, sich für eine vielfältigere Kundschaft neu zu erfinden, obwohl das Nachtleben immer noch sehr schwulenfreundlich ist, ist es ein Paradies für jeden Nachtschwärmer mit lauten und langen Nächten. Chora oder Mykonos-Stadt ist die Hauptstadt der Insel. Es ist voll von engen, verwinkelten Gassen, weiß getünchten Gebäuden mit blauen Verzierungen, netten Restaurants, Bekleidungs- und Juweliergeschäften, einem Fischmarkt und einem Gemüsemarkt. Es ist eine der kosmopolitischsten und überfülltesten Städte der Ägäis. Neben Chora gibt es nur eine weitere Stadt auf der Insel, Ano Mera. Ano Mera ist ruhiger und weniger touristisch. Während Sie hier sind, besuchen Sie das Kloster Panagia Tourliani, eine traditionelle griechisch-orthodoxe Kirche mit wunderschönen Ikonostas. Die Insel ist trocken und karg, aber es gibt einige feine Sandstrände, die beiden bekanntesten sind Paradise und Super Paradise, aber es gibt viele andere Strände, die Sie auf der Insel suchen können. Vom charmanten Hafen aus nehmen Sie ein Boot zu den Stränden oder nach Delos, und Sie reisen von der Gegenwart in die antike Vergangenheit, von einer Reihe von Mythen zur anderen.

valletta, malta

Anreise: 09:00 - Abfahrt: 19:00

The tiny capital of Malta, the city measures less than 1 sq km, has a lot to offer visitors. Valletta has been described as one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world, thanks to its 7,000 years of history. No wonder, the City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Built by the knight of St John in the 16th and 17th centuries for its military and strategic reasons, Valletta was later embellished into a fine example of baroque decorative art – most notably in the magnificent interiors of St John’s Co-Cathedral in the heart of the city. Shady atmospheric alleyways link grand squares, and glorious palazzi sit alongside bars and shop. Lately, the city has undergone some major changes to create a more vibrant urbanity, with the renovation of the main City Gate and the design of a new parliament building, as well as the renovation of the bombed-out Opera House. Valletta's natural deep water port, the Grand Harbour, is the biggest and the most impressive harbour in all the Mediterranean and was, for many thousands of years, the epicentre of Malta’s maritime activity. Proof of this are the 19 historical warehouses still stand dating back 250 years and the historic Quay Wall, where the Knights of St John and European merchants used to unload their wares. The Valletta Waterfront is also the gateway to Malta’s capital city. In fact, as one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes more than half-a-million cruise passengers into this open air museum. Recently, the waterfront has been revitalised into an attractive and vibrant gateway of shops, bars and restaurants. It’s particularly romantic at night when illuminated. There are tons of outdoor pursuits to enjoy thanks to the city’s moderate climate. From diving to sailing, cycling to rock climbing, there are a number of different adrenalin-busting options to satisfy adventurous holidaymakers. Just don't expect Valletta to be buzzing all night, its tranquility is a large part of its charm.
