What is now called Asian Istanbul was probably inhabited by people as early as 3000 BC. Eventually, in the 7th century, Greek colonists led by King Byzas established the colony of Byzantium, the Greek name for a city on the Bosphorus. Byzas chose the spot after consulting an oracle of Delphi who told him to settle across from the "land of the blind ones." Indeed, Byzas concluded, earlier settlers must have been deprived of their sight to have overlooked this superb location at the mouth of the Bosphorus strait. This proved an auspicious decision by Byzas, as history has shown Istanbul's location important far beyond what these early Greek settlers might possibly have conceived. Byzas gave his name to the city: Byzantium.

First named Byzantium, then Constantinople, Istanbul has been the center of two world-dominant empires and the cradle of Christianity. It is no wonder that this ancient capital is full of mystery. Istanbul stands at the threshold of two continents, making it an ideal port of trade. This attraction has often been the bane of its existence as everyone from nomads and Romans to members of the Crusades battled to control the city. Intrigue in Istanbul takes the viewer into the heart of the beast to explore the Turkish town's less historic adventures. Towering mosques and colorful bazaars set the scene for tales of misadventure from the fall of an emperor to the Nazi takeover of the Orient Express. Viewers can witness the rise, fall, and resurrection of civilization behind the thick walls of Istanbul. |

Istanbul is one of the most beautiful and profound cities in the world. It is the only great city to span two continents – Europe and Asia – and perhaps no other city has such a rich texture of history, culture and spirituality. In its incarnation as Constantinople, it was a brilliant center of Byzantine Greek culture and, as the Ottoman capital, it had a great tradition of Sufism. As Samothrace lies only a few miles from the nautical boundary of Turkey, we have an invaluable opportunity to experience Istanbul in all its mystery and magnificence.
Walk through the streets of the Byzantine Empire, feel the easing breeze of the mosques of the Ottoman's. |

Nearby are the extensive remnants of the Roman city of Ephesus and, above these ruins, stands the house thought to be the last home of Mary, mother of Jesus. After a day in Selcuk/Ephesus, we will travel to Didyma, site of an oracle devoted to Apollo and comparable in influence to Delphi. From there we go on to Miletus and Priene.
