Turkey's English name (derived from Medieval Latin Turchia/Turquia means "Turkish Land." The Book of the Duchess (c. 1369) by Geoffrey Chaucer demonstrates the use of Turkye in Middle English. In the 15th-century Digby Mysteries, the word "land of Torke" is mentioned. The Dunbar poems, the 16th century Manipulus Vocabulorum (Turkie), and Francis Bacon's Sylva Sylvarum all had later used (Turky). Turkey's present spelling comes from at least 1719.
Kavala is the capital of the Kavala regional unit and the main seaport in eastern Macedonia. It is located on the Egnatia road in the Bay of Kavala, across from the island of Thasos, and one and a half hours from Thessaloniki and forty minutes from Drama and Xanthi.
"Sporades" implies "those who are dispersed". The word has referred to the Aegean island groups outside the primary archipelago of the Cyclades since Classical Antiquity.
Syros (Greek: o [siros]) is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, sometimes known as Siros or Syra. Ermoupoli, Ano Syros, and Vari are the three most populous cities. The island, the Cyclades, and the South Aegean all have capitals at Ermoupoli. It has always been an important port city, much more so than Piraeus in the nineteenth century. Galissas, Foinikas, Pagos, Manna, Kini, and Poseidonia are some of the other communities on the island.
Nafplio (Greek: o) is a beach city in Greece's Peloponnese region that is the capital of the Argolis regional unit and a popular tourist attraction. Founded in antiquity, the city grew in importance as part of the Frankokratia as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, which was ruled first by the de la Roche after the Fourth Crusade, then by the Republic of Venice, and finally by the Ottoman Empire. From 1827 to 1834, the city served as the second capital of the First Hellenic Republic and the Kingdom of Greece.
Spetses is unique in that private autos are not permitted within the city limits. Walking, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, mopeds, and motorcycles are the most frequent types of transportation. In the downtown area, only taxis and delivery cars are permitted. From the Athenian port of Piraeus, ferries and high-speed hydrofoils come on a regular basis.
The island is encircled by trails that span 25 to 30 kilometers. The closest beaches to Spetses are Ayios Mamas in the town center, Kaki (formerly College) beach 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) northwest, and Ayia Marina 2 kilometers (1 mile) south, both of which offer water sports. Beaches outside of town, such as Zogeria, Ayioi Anaryiroi, and Ayia Paraskevi, are served by public buses.
Piraeus has a vast history that dates back to ancient Greece. The city was founded in the early 5th century BC, when plans were put in place to make it the new port of Athens: A prototype harbour was built, concentrating all of Athens' import and transit trade, as well as the navy's base, in one location (Piraeus). The naval station in Piraeus had 372 trireme shipsheds during Athens' Classical period.[5] Beginning in the 3rd century B.C., Piraeus began to collapse. It began to expand again in the 19th century, once Athens was named the capital of Greece.

Good to ideal period to travel, and many people choose to visit at this time.
Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
