Magic carpets, genies in a lamp, hidden treasure and great adventures; the stories of One Thousand and One Nights conjure up images of the fascinating, mysterious and exotic ‘orient’. Strolling through the ancient bazaars in Cairo, Istanbul or Marrakech we are transported back to a time when merchants came to trade silk, spices, precious metals and perfumes.

The opportunity to travel is a blessing wherever that may be in the world. Greece and the Greek Islands have been my passion for over 25 years - though married to an Egyptian I have travelled to Egypt many times. Occasionally I venture elsewhere but Greece will always have my heart.
