An “essence of Greece” will flood the metropolis of Byblos, locally referred to as Jbeil, on the shorelines of the Mediterranean in Lebanon this June. Byblos will host the Greek Festival of Lebanon, an occasion held for the first time in the United States of America. For three days, beginning on June 7, the Lebanese city will sample Greek music, food, and dance. “The Greek Festival of Lebanon hasn’t bested a competition. It is an experience for all the senses. Greek delicacies will meet Greece’s song and dance traditions, promising a unique enjoyment for all visitors,” said the organizers.
“This is the first time a massive open-air competition of this kind has been organized for the reason that gave up the civil struggle in 1975. We only had small-scale events in lodges or smaller venues, but nothing this massive,” George Eid, the pageant’s organizer and director of operations, instructed Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA). The assistance provided by Greece’s ambassador to Lebanon, Fragiskos Verros, became crucial for the successful setup and management of the festival, Eid instructed ANA.
“Everything about this pageant is true; it comes from the coronary heart,” says Eid, journalist and writer of ‘Kalimera Men Beirut,’ which means “Good morning from Beirut,” a documentary on Lebanon’s Greek network. Eid is the grandson of a Greek refugee and has lengthy ancient ties with Greece through his lineage from the Greek island of Samos and the town of Izmir on the Turkish coast.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Tourism sponsors the competition with the Greek embassy.
UNESCO has declared Jbeil an international monument to its cultural and historical past. From its port, it is thought to export cedar wood to the world.
A Blue Cruise is probably one of the most relaxing and wonderful holidays. Cruising leisurely on board a Turkish gulet along a mountainous and pristine coastline wealthy with the stays of historical civilizations gives the vacationer much to look at and revel in. In this part of the world, the turquoise blue sea is so clean that the sea mattress is regularly seen. Numerous wooded bays and coves, many secluded, dot the shoreline, and Blue Voyage charters provide one sufficient possibility to wander around and discover at will.
Anatolia’s wealthy lifestyle and history spread alongside the manner because the gulet stops at fascinating fishing villages, market towns, and popular motels, in addition to several ancient ruins and monuments. Add to that the comfortable and pleasant surroundings and the current comforts on board the gulet, and you’ve got something near a floating paradise.
A Blue Cruise charter gulet is a motor-powered wooden yacht made by hand that combines indigenous boat-building traditions with the modern era. These yachts normally run on vehicles at speeds between 8 and 11 knots and can sail most effectively when the wind allows. Gulets are designed to house a maximum of 16 passengers who sleep in twin or single cabins with attached showers and WCs. Many gulets are air-conditioned.
Most of the time onboard is spent lounging, making friends, sunbathing on the spacious deck, eating within the saloon, or under an awning. Gulets commonly have nicely geared-up galleys, and sparkling scrumptious Turkish cuisine is on board. Since all gulets have bars, passengers should purchase alcoholic and nonalcoholic liquids.
On average, gulets cruise for three hours and stay near shore. Onboard a gulet, one rarely confronts choppy waters because the boat generally moves inside and out of bays and coves, preventing at least twice an afternoon. Gulets offer water sports activities such as snorkeling, windsurfing, diving, and water skiing. Guests have many opportunities to swim in the Turkish Mediterranean’s easy waters and sunbathe as much as they want.
As the gulet drops anchor close to old-fashioned villages and cities, islands, and exciting historical websites, you will adapt quick treks inland to explore secluded spots, the stays of historical civilizations, and to get an experience of life in Turkish fishing villages and small cities. Though the yacht generally stops for the nighttime at solitary coves, it will dock at fairly big coastal towns at least twice or three times throughout the cruise to deliver passengers the chance to save and wander around in addition to sampling the nightlife.
