Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
Excavated Streets of Ephesus
Ancient Ephesus was an important port city. Silting of the harbor however, has gradually moved this now historic archaeology site inland to be land locked. Cruising into the port city of Kusadasi, Ephesus is only 15 minutes away by land and well worth visiting as a day trip for a guided tour of the extensive excavations that have taken place over the years of this once vibrant economic and cultural center of ancient civilizations.

Did you know that there are over 900 Greek Islands? Stretching from the Ionian Islands in the Adriatic Sea to the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea. With a hop in between to the Saronic Islands, a skip to the Cycladic Islands and a jump to the Saronic Islands, there is an itinerary for everyone; and often many more itineraries than just one.

Visiting Venice by Yacht Charter
Visit the Northrop and Johnson Yacht Charters Website
St. Marks Cathedral
Imagine pulling up in your own yacht and tying up the quay just down from St. Marks Square and listening to the bells of St. Marks Cathedral as they toll the hours. With enough advance planning, dockage reservations are available along this famous waterfront, with all of Venice, Italy laid out in front of you to wander as you will. Or perhaps to have a coffee at one of the many cafes along the edges of St. Marks Square with wandering musicians livening up the evening hours. And, of course, there are shops and great restaurants, although you may prefer to dine on board on the deck entertained as life passes by on the quay in front. Read the rest of this entry »

Specific to this culture are the making of Molas, multi pieces of various colored fabrics sewn together with a pattern created by piercing through the various layers to different degrees, and then completed by intricate needlework.
