Book excerpt: Situated at the very point where Europe meets Asia, Istanbul is a fantastic amalgam of superimposed cultures from the prehistoric to Islam, from the Hellenistic to the Byzantine. Its stones echo the past--the wars, the poetry, the ritual splendors, the great religions that inspired both the creation of its monuments and in some cases their destruction. Probably no other major city in the world is so immersed in history and at the same time so difficult for the outsider to grasp. Here at last is a book that enables the visitor to enjoy this fabled city to the fullest.

Book excerpt: The Turkish Riviera, known as the Turquoise Coast, is home to stunning mountain scenery, rich myths, and folklore, and more than six hundred miles of impeccable shoreline along the warm Aegean and Mediterranean seas. Featuring two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the ruins of the Mausoleum of Maussollos and the Temple of Artemis, this stretch of coast is a destination apart, so much so that Mark Antony was said to have chosen it as the most spectacular wedding gift for Cleopatra. Through the lens of Oliver Pilcher, this blue voyage beckons readers with wanderlust to set sail and enjoy the dazzling sapphire shades of the coast’s dreamy yacht life. Anecdotes from lovers of the region include Mica Ertegun, Tommy Hilfiger, Chiara Ferragni, and Mert Alas, who spent summers boating on these storied waters.
