Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of the main cities in China for its economy, tourism and the density of population. Hong Kong is a combination of Eastern and Western cultures, new and old, offering its visitors an endless variety of places to explore, bars, clubs, street markets, haute-couture boutiques and much more. Visit the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade with its breath-taking landscape on the port. At night the buildings are all lighted-up and offer a real spectacle. If you want to take a break from the skyscrapers and are looking for a calmer place, you can reach Repulse Bay, more crowded in summer, for a relaxing walk and detox from the traffic and the frenzy typical of the huge metropolis. Many of the Cruises to Far East leave from Hong Kong’s port and take you to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Singapore, to discover the most exotic places in the world. You can visit the Far East with the best cruise companies such as Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Silversea and many more.
Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港, Xiānggǎngpinyin; literally "Fragrant Harbor") is one of two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China along with Macau. It is located on the southern coast of China between the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. The city is famous for its predominant skyline and deep natural harbor. With an area of 1,104 km2 and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. 95% of Hong Kong's population is of Chinese ethnicity, while the remaining 5% belong to other groups. The city's majority Chinese ethnic group, the Han, mainly originates from the cities of Canton and Taishan in the nearby province of Guangdong.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the First Opium War (1839-1842). Originally limited to Hong Kong Island alone, the colony's borders were extended, in 1860, to include the Kowloon Peninsula and then with new territories in 1898. The region was then briefly occupied by Japan during the Pacific War, then returned to British control, which ended in 1997 when China resumed its sovereignty. The history of Hong Kong has profoundly influenced its culture, which is often described as "the East meets the West", and the education system which pursued the English system until the reforms implemented in 2009.
Under the principle "one country, two systems", Hong Kong has a political system different from mainland China. The functioning of the country's independent judiciary works according to the Common law legal system model. The Hong Kong Basic Law, its constitution, establishes that the region enjoys a high degree of autonomy in all aspects, except foreign relations and military defense. Despite Hong Kong having a thriving multi-party system, a small electorate controls half of its legislature. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, the head of government, is chosen by an electoral committee which varies from 400 to 1,200 members, a system which will be in force for all the first 20 years of Chinese rule.
Hong Kong is one of the most important international financial centers in the world and like the others, Hong Kong boasts a large capitalist economy based on the tertiary sector and characterized by low taxation and free trade. The currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. The lack of space and the growing number of inhabitants and infrastructure have led the city to have an intense density of buildings, making it the most vertical city in the world. Hong Kong citizens boast one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. The density has also led to the development of an advanced public transport network. The citizens who use it are over 90%, the highest percentage in the world. Hong Kong enjoys high positions in numerous international rankings. For example, in economic freedom, economic and financial competitiveness, quality of life, corruption, the human development index, etc., the region is always ranked among the top places.
According to estimates from both the United Nations and the WHO, Hong Kong, in 2012, had the longest life expectancy of any other region in the world.

Port Louis
Spectacular under the peaks of imposing mountains, Port Louis makes an impression from the plateau with its frenetic center on the ocean in a frieze that seems to defy perspective. A wonderful experience.
Despite being the national capital, the main economic center, and the largest city in the country, Port Louis occupies a rather strange place in modern Mauritian psyche. The more affluent classes have traditionally lived outside the city, especially in the towns of Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Moka, and Vacoas. This trend continues today, to the extent that Port Louis (the final 's' is usually silent) can sometimes seem like a city without a middle class, without a center, and a ghost town after dark. This impression is totally false, however – Port Louis has a lot to offer, and anyone who only visits the fantastic Caudan Waterfront will get a very bland impression of the national capital. The hustle and bustle of the streets, the famous city market, Chinatown, and the collection of beautifully preserved colonial buildings make Port Louis much more than just a place to shop away from the beach.

Richards Bay

This once forgotten corner of the African continent is a land of exquisite beauty characterized by incredible diversity. Its eastern border with its golden shores are gently caressed by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The coast stretches about three hundred and fifty kilometers from the mouth of the Tugela River in the south to the Mozambican border in the north. The coastal plains are endless pristine beaches and coastal conservation areas and incorporate the largest estuary system in South Africa.
Durban
A lively city that stretches along a strip of yellow-brown sand, the third largest tourist resort in South Africa.
The waterfront, with its expanse of skyscraper hotels and snack bars, remains a symbol of the city, and the city center, studded with some grandiose colonial buildings and fascinating Art Deco architecture, pulsates at a distinctly African rhythm. Place with the largest concentration of people of Indian origin in the country, Durban also boasts places, sounds and smells typical of the subcontinent. While the beach is always the favorite place, many visitors visit the suburbs, crammed with accommodation, shopping centers, funky bars and elegant restaurants.

Cape Town is graced by its iconic symbol – Table Mountain, which towers over the city like a guardian of ancient secrets and legends. Visitors can ascend this natural wonder to enjoy stunning views of the city and the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

The streets of Cape Town are vibrant with local markets, street art, and cafes offering dishes from various parts of Africa and the world. An interesting fact about Cape Town is its unique geography. The city is located at the southernmost tip of the continent, where the Table Bay is one of the largest and deepest natural harbors in the world. This makes it an ideal departure point for cruises along the Atlantic Ocean.
Cruises from Cape Town offer exciting journeys along the shores of South Africa, including stops at historic sites like Robben Island, where political prisoners of the apartheid era, including Nelson Mandela, were imprisoned.

With 6.5 million international tourists, South Africa appears to be the first destination in Africa. The inhabitants of Cape Town are truly open to tourism, which began at the threshold of the 90s, at the end of apartheid. Thanks to a significant regional and European tourism development, in recent years, the nation has grown considerably. African visitors are distinguished from those from overseas, differentiated by the activities carried out and seasonal movements.
But everyone participates fully in the development of the tourism sector. For lovers of architecture, the city is also famous for its colonial style, called Cape Dutch, particularly evident in the Constantia districts. During your stay in this fabulous place, you can stroll through the main streets: starting from Piazza Heerengracht where the first camp of the East India Company was founded. A short distance away, shopping lovers can also enjoy and discover Adderley Street, the main shopping street.
Without forgetting Government Avenue, where passers-by will find themselves in a beautiful glazed walkway of ancient oaks. Here museums abound, such as the Museum of History and Culture, the oldest South African institute after the Castle of Good Hope, residence of the city's first governors in the second half of the 17th century.

Syros
Built by the Venetians in the early 13th century on the hill of San Giorgio, Syro preserves a particularly medieval atmosphere. Countless passages between narrow streets and houses with colored doors lead to the top of the city. In addition to its urban and cultural life, Syro offers several beaches, such as those of Azolimnos and Galissas, made up of golden sand and transparent waters.
The small Siro is located in the central part of the Cyclades islands, in the waters of the Aegean Sea. It is characterized by the variety of its landscapes and Venetian architecture, the northern part is mountainous, while the interior alternates between low hills and cultivated fields. The coast is 87 km long and winds between headlands and large beaches, such as that of Ermopoli to the east and Finikas to the west. The architecture of Siro, although sharing the Cycladic characteristics, derives from the Venetian domination of the island and the rest of the Cyclades. During the Venetian occupation, the majority of the population converted to Catholicism, so Siro preserved, at the time, a significant percentage of Catholics compared to the rest of Greece, mostly Orthodox. During the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the island of Syro remained neutral under French protection, welcoming a large number of Greek refugees from all over the world to escape the horrors of the war. That mass of refugees managed to make the economy and culture of the island's capital flourish, becoming the commercial and cultural center of Greece. Today Ermopoli, queen of the Cyclades, is the capital and main port of Siro. The port rises on a natural amphitheater and is characterized by its neoclassical buildings and white houses. Among the most important buildings are: the imposing town hall (built in 1889 by Ernst Ziller) and the Apollo Municipal Theatre (in 1864), considered a miniature copy of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. The island has 17 villages, all to be discovered. Also called the Manchester of Greece, the city has some important religious monuments such as the churches of Metamorfosis tou Sotiros, Agios Nikolaos, Ploussio and Kimisis tis Theotokou. Do not miss the Catholic community with the cathedral of San Jorge and the Vaporia district which highlights the large churches and neoclassical buildings. The Archaeological Museum and its Library has a remarkable collection of artifacts, containing numerous interesting and truly rare editions.
Athens
For many, Athens is a city lived two thousand five hundred years ago. Symbol is the mighty Acropolis which dominates almost every view and itinerary of every visitor, crowned by the iconic Parthenon, stands above the city, watching the sprawling modern metropolis in evolution.
Athens, the capital of Greece, is a city where antiquity and modernity, history and contemporary culture blend in a unique way. Everyone knows that the name of the city derives from the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom and justice. However, few people actually know the legend behind this event. According to myth, Athena and Poseidon, the God of the seas, vied for the right to name the city. Poseidon, to impress the inhabitants, gave them water, while Athena gave them an olive branch.
At first the choice fell on Poseidon, since the citizens considered water the most precious gift. When, once they tasted the water, they discovered that it was salty and not drinkable, they changed their minds and recognized Athena as their patron. One of the most famous historical sites in the city is the Acropolis, a majestic hill topped by ancient Doric temples, including the Parthenon, built in 477 BC. and the Erechtheion, built between 421 and 406 BC. Climbing the Acropolis, tourists can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the Aegean Sea. However, Athens is not only history, but also a lively cultural capital. In the Plaka district, located at the foot of the Acropolis, it is possible to stroll through the welcoming streets, visit the traditional Greek taverns and enjoy the authentic atmosphere.
Then there are the numerous cultural activities offered by the numerous museums, galleries and theaters present in the city. Athens is an important port for cruise ships that offer trips to the Mediterranean and beyond. Cruises from Athens allow guests to explore the rich cultural heritage of Greece, including the islands of Crete, Santorini and Mykonos, where you can admire the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea and a coast of white houses.
In addition to the Greek islands, cruises from Athens also offer the opportunity to visit other exciting Mediterranean destinations, including historic cities in Italy, Croatia and Turkey. Athens is therefore not only the historical and cultural center of Greece, but also an important starting point for cruises in the Mediterranean, which offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in the great history and splendid landscapes of this unique region.
Many still think of Athens as an ancient city that thrived two and a half thousand years ago. Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.
Perhaps the most significant change is in the historical centre, which is almost unrecognisable since cars have been banned. This has liberated the area with the most significant archaeological sites, creating the longest, and undoubtedly one of the most splendid, pedestrianised zones in Europe. This huge archaeological park has brought past and present together, returning the cultural and social life of the city to the area around the ancient monuments and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Athens remains a city of contradictions; it is both frustrating and seductive. It is the oldest city in Europe, yet still in a state of transition. It is one of the safest and most vibrant European cities - an intoxicating mix of grunge and grace with an undeniably urban soul.
