Bazaar Tour

Places:

• Africa » Tunisia » tunisia

Activities:

• Sightseeing And Tour » Attractions

This Medina day tour is a perfect combination of the Tunis old city sightseeing tour, shopping in famous Tunisian bazaars and attending an exposition of Berber carpets.

Departure to the Medina-the old Arabic city- for a walk through its beautiful, narrow and lively streets. tortuous alleys and its souks, which draw apparently an inextricable maze. The noble professions form the first belt (perfumers, booksellers, jewellers, tailors, manufacturers of chechias, sort of cap) around the big mosque. Whereas the more noisy activities are relegated to the suburb.

This day tour features:

- Big Mosque Djamaa Ez Zitouna, Mosque Hammouda Pacha, the Rachidia, the Medersas(coranic schools), the castle (a palace residence of one of the Arab princes) are among the monuments we will see in the tour.

- Tour of the bazaars for shopping, attending an exposition of native Berber carpets.

- Lunch time at a restaurant in Medina area: local Mediterranean food a la carte (optional).

End of my service and return to the hotel.

Balaclava: Harbor and Soviet Undergraund Submarines Base

Places:

Activities:

A 600-meter long tunnel runs from inside the harbor, allowing submarines to sail straight

in for maintenance and repairs. Seven submarines could be accommodated there. So

secret was the project, Balaklava disappeared from official Soviet maps.

``In the case of a nuclear attack, the base could stand a direct hit by a nuclear bomb,''

reads a guide to the site. It's now the Balaklava Naval Museum Complex, for tourists who

want to examine gigantic steel doors and bulkheads designed to protect against fallout.

Massandra Palace of AlexanderІІІ (Stalin`s dacha)

Places:

• Europe » Ukraine » Avtonomna Respublika Krym » Yalta » Sevastopol | Simferopol | Bakhchisaray

Activities:

• Art And Culture » History Tour | Tours | Palaces

In 1878 prince Semyon Vorontsov decided to erect a palace in Massandra. The construction worcs, when only interior finishing was left to be done, had to be stopped becouse of the customer`s death.

In 1889 the Massandra Palace and estate was purchased by the Ministry for the Emperor Court and Apanages. Alas, sovereign Alexander ІІІ did not happen to live in this spot which was so much to his liking - in the 1894 the Russian Tsar died just a bit away from Massandra, in the Livadia Palace.

Massandra Palace has witnessed the govenor-general Michael Vorontsov,

tsar-peacemaker Alexander ІІІ, tsar-martyr Nicolas ІІ, blood-thirsty Josef Stalin, executioner Lavrentiy Beria, the most eccentric Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchov, Leonid Brezhnev, the father of Perestroika Michael Gorbatchov.

For manyyears the Massandra Palace had been thor-oughly guarded and not only foreigners, but most of Crimeans knew nothing about it. It was opened in 1992.

Long live life in Barbados

There's nothing quite like February to make us long for an island getaway. White-sand beaches, turquoise sea, tropical flavors, relaxed luxury: yup, sounds pretty perfect right about now. Good thing Barbados has "mastered the art of fine living." (They're really not joking. Everything about this Caribbean paradise screams dream-island holiday.) Even culture vultures that haven't honed the skill of just chilling out on the beach can find plenty of year-round cultural entertainment on this tiny island. From film and music festivals to fine dining and diving, Barbados keeps even the more reluctant beach bum entertained. (Who are you people?)
Because we love you almost as much as we love Barbados, we're sending one lucky reader on our dream vacation: three nights at the Hilton Barbados, plus round-trip airfare for you and a friend. Just do us a favor and don't get too tan. It hurts our feelings.

Exclusive tour : Duke Yusupov Palace in Koreiz. Only special permission !

Places:

• Europe » Ukraine » Avtonomna Respublika Krym » Yalta » Sevastopol | Simferopol | Bakhchisaray

Activities:

• Art And Culture » History Tour | Tours | Palaces

New! Exclusive! Only special permit with us.

One of the private residences of the Office of the President of Ukraine. A palace is built at the beginning of a 20th century for the parents of prince Felix Yusupov (murderer of Grigory Rasputin), married on the unique niece of the last tsar Nikolas ІІ. In February, 1945 here the residence of Joseph Stalin and Vyacheslav Molotov took place during the Yalta(Livadia) conference (the special underground bunker of dictator was saved).

Examination is accompanied an enthralling excursion, engulfing the period of history from early dark ages to our days.

The palace was built for one of the richest aristocratic families of Russia releted to the imperial dynasty. And it was designed by the talented Russian architect Nikholas Krasnov.

It`s owner, Prince Yusupov Count Sumarocov-Elston, was a Govenor-General of Moscow.

In 1945, during the Yalta Conference of leaders of the three nations - the USSR, the USA and the Great Britain, the Yusupov Palace was the residence of the Soviet delegation headed by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Josef Stalin and Minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

In the post-war period the palace turned into the summer residence of the CPSU Central Committee and it received numerous party and state figures of the Soviet Union.

The palace park takes the area of 16.5 hectares and was founded by the famous gardener Karl Antonius Kebach. It contains over the 160 species of decorative trees and bushes.

Livadia Palace - place of Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill Conference 1945

Places:

• Europe » Ukraine » Avtonomna Respublika Krym » Yalta » Sevastopol | Simferopol | Bakhchisaray

Activities:

• Art And Culture » History Tour | Tours | Palaces

Livadia Palace is the famous summer residence of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II. The palace was designed by the Russian architect N. Krasnov in the Italian Renaissance style with some features of Byzantine, Arabian and Gothic architecture in addition. Built in 1911 from white Inkerman stone this palace of the imperial family is often referred to as the White Palace. The Livadia Palace is well known as the site of the Yalta Conference, 1945, and the very place where Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin outlined the future of the postwar Europe and adopted the guidelines for the foundation of the United Nations. During the guided visit of the palace you will see the restored White Hall of the conference, which is remarkable for its size and refined gorgeous molding of the ceiling, the Czar's Gala Study and the Headquarters of the USA President during the conference. Continuing on, you will visit the czar's family personal apartments on the first floor of the palace. The exposition includes numerous photos of the imperial family, documents and original furniture. You will learn more of the history of the Romanovs, who used to enjoy immensely their stay in Yalta. Before leaving the palace you will have an opportunity to make a short visit to a shopping arcade for browsing and, should you desire you might purchase some nice mementos of your visit.

In 1945 British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Russian Secretary-General Joseph Stalin chose the Livadia Palace as the venue for what became known as the Yalta Conference. The "Big Three" met for a week in Livadia's imposing White Hall, and Tsar Nikolai's state study became Roosevelt's bedroom.

The Yalta Declaration, issued on February 11th 1945, set the stage for the division of Germany into zones of occupation, for the possession of Eastern Poland by the USSR, and the award of German territory in the north and west to Poland in compensation. Many historians regard the Yalta conference as the place where Churchill and Roosevelt accepted the Soviet Union's future domination of eastern europe in return for Stalin's pledge to keep out of the Mediterranean, withholding support for the Italian and Greek communist parties, in spite of their loyalty to Moscow. The Declaration also announced that a "conference of United Nations" would be held in San Francisco in April.

You can see the table where the Big Three and their staffs sat, and the English billiard room where the crucial documents were signed. Photographs taken in the palace at the time are displayed on the walls, and in the White Hall under glass there are original copies of Pravda dated 13th February 1945 reporting the outcome of the conference.
