A holiday catered in comfort while you are transported from one destination of your choosing to another destination you approved. These destinations are all at the crossroads of history. Mesih Pasha, it might be noted, was the Ottoman Empire's first kapudan pasha or grand admiral. He was directly descended from the Palaeologue rulers of the Byzantine Empire and was appointed kapudan pasha by Mehmet the Conqueror. Mehmet the Conqueror who had just put an end to the Byzantine Empire. In 1480 Mesih Pasha led Sultan Mehmet's unsuccessful siege of Hospitaller Knights within the walled city of Rhodes. By the end of that year, of course, the sultan was looking for another kapudan pasha, and Mesih Pasha had retired to a villa on the Bosphorus. Laguna destinations are characterized not only by historical association but by azure blue sky and turquoise blue sea, as well. Whether you enjoy history more than fun, or fun more than history, Laguna offers the optimum holiday. And all the while the optimum holiday is complemented by haute cuisine. Come see for yourself.
