Dear passengers, welcome aboard!

Aviation has no margin of error. Perhaps that is why air transportation is the safest way of travelling. Passenger safety is the number one priority for our airline, and in this area there is no room for compromise. Ten years ago, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) introduced the Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) pro-gramme as an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation procedure designed to assess the operational management and control systems of airlines. An IOSA audit aims at increasing operational safety on a global scale and contributes to the active promotion of the best and most modern operational safety practices.The IOSA programme’s introduction has allowed the avia-tion industry to strive to meet the highest annual updated operational safety performance requirements. According to Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO, in 2012 glo-bal aviation reached an all-time operational safety record.In 2005, UIA was the first airline in the CIS to success-fully complete an IOSA audit. In February 2013, the air-line unconditionally completed the audit process, and received its fifth IOSA Certificate, confirming the airline had once again complied with the highest operational safety standards.So be assured, once you are aboard a UIA aircraft, you can relax in your seat, secure in the knowledge that your com-fort and needs will be catered for by our charming flight attendants, and your safety will be completely taken care of by UIA’s professional team.Sit back, relax and flip through this latest issue of Pano-rama, which, I hope, you will find interesting. For informa-tion on upcoming offers and promotions, please visit the company’s website at www.flyUIA.com.

Thank you for choosing UIA. Enjoy your flight!

Athens is a city with a recorded history dating back 3,400 years, and even now the past looms large, literally, in the shape of the mighty Acropolis that dominates almost every view, as well as every visitor’s checklist of places to visit. The monuments bear testament to it being the oldest city in Europe, yet modern Athens is by no means stuck in the past

16 / PANORAMA X 4 / 2013

The Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been covered in scaffolding for many years; the Parthenon and other Acropolis architecture need restoration to preserve the ruined structures into the future. Artifacts found on its territory are on display in the nearby Acropolis Museum (Dionysiou Areopagitou 15, www.theacropolismuseum.gr, admission S5). Here, in the area encompassing 14,000 square metres, you can see statues of gods, columns, amphorae, jewellery, amulets and more from some 4,000

plus exhibits. Near the entrance to the museum it is possible to see through the glass floor how archaeologists work, cleaning ancient marble statues using lasers.It’s easier and more interesting to observe the numerous monuments of the Greek capital from onboard a double-decker City Sightseeing (www.city-sightseeing.com) bus. During a 90-minute bus trip, I learned the history of Athens from the audio guide. You can get off at various stops and inspect monuments, such as the Archaeological Museum or the stadium, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. A bus ticket for two days costs S18 for adults and S8 for children.

2. Watch a Movie in an Open-air Cinema As I walked around the city, I dropped into a humble court-yard. There were some chairs there and people were sitting watching a film. There are lots of similar summer open air cinemas in Athens, the city centre boasts at least 15 of them. Open from May through to September, they offer mainly classic films in their original languages with Greek subtitles. Usually, screenings are held in the evening at 9pm and at 11pm, the average price of a ticket is S8 (S6 for students).In Cine Thission (Apostolou Pavlou Str. 7, www.cine-thisio.gr), located in the Thissio area, I was tempted by the 1957 Holly-wood classic An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant and Deborah Carey. The romantic film, a starry sky above my head, a gentle breeze and a view of the illuminated

n the city of gods and heroes, the home of Socrates, Plato and Homer, the cradle of democracy, philosophy and theatre, I listened to myths, explored Ancient Greek civilisation and admired the Parthenon. I watched an

ancient drama performed, bought trendy Greek sandals and shed a tear at a romantic film in an open air cinema. Then I ate Greek salad in its historic homeland and burned calories in a nightclub. Along the way, I found at least seven reasons why it is worth visiting Athens.

1. Explore the Origins of an Ancient CivilisationThe history of Athens, whose area was first settled by humans 7,000 years ago, was marked first of all by the civili-sation of Ancient Greece. These were the ancient Greeks to whom we owe the existence of various types of culture, art, architecture and politics.Thanks to an abundance of ancient monuments, the Greek capital sometimes resembles an archaeological dig, there is always something waiting to be revealed under the layers of civilisations. The Acropolis, the creation of ancient Greek architects, looms large over the city towering on the top of a 156-metre cliff. First, its fortified walls were a source of protection; later, it became a sanctuary where awe-inspiring temples were erected in honour of the gods. The greatest among them is the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena. Accord-ing to a myth, the goddess of wisdom won the right to be the patron of the city in a contest with Poseidon. She offered an olive tree to the residents of the city, and they valued it more than a source of water offered by the god of the sea.

Acropolis all combined for a magical experience! This cinema is also appreciated for its delicious homemade cheese pie and cherry brandy, which are offered to visitors along with more traditional popcorn and nachos. No wonder in 2012 it was listed among the world’s top ten cinemas by CNN. The Exarheia district boasts the largest number of such open-air cinemas. One of them, Vox, is famous for its screen-ings of Hitchcock films. Actors and artists who live in Exarheia (Themistokleous Str. 82) usually hang out here.The Plaka tourist area, at the foot of the Acropolis, offers not only numerous cafés, taverns and restaurants, but also an open-air Cine Paris, situated in a rooftop garden. Its cin-ematheque includes everything from the classics to the latest releases. There’s also a shop there where you can buy new and old cinema posters (Kidathinaion Str. 22, www.cineparis.gr).

3. Find Out What Mastic IsMastic is an authentic Greek product from the island of Chios. This is the only place in the world where the aromatic golden resin, emitted by mastic trees is collected. While the trees grow all over the Mediterranean, they give mastic on this island only. Legend has it that the Chios trees cry for the Christian St Isidore of Chios, killed by Roman legionaries. Sci-entists attribute this phenomenon to the island’s special microclimate and soil.The first records of mastic were found in the works of Herodotus, who, describ-ing the military campaigns, recalled a resin that healed soldiers’ wounds. Mastic is also the oldest chewing gum. Since Roman times, it was used for breath freshening and teeth whitening. Mastic is antiseptic, it improves digestion, strengthens the gums and has more than 60 other known medical applica-tions. In Greece, it is added to tooth-pastes, creams and soaps, used in the preparation of jams, cookies, ice cream and traditional “spoon sweets”. Mastic is an ingredient of popular liqueur Masti-chato Chiou, served as a digestive.To find natural mastic and products based on it you should drop into the Mastiha Shop on the intersection of Panepistimiou and Kriezotou streets, not far from the central Syntagma Square (www.mastihashop.com).

4. Watch a Play in an Ancient TheatreIt was in Athens during the epoch of Ancient Greece that theatre as we know it was born. It started with a celebration in honour of the god of wine and agriculture, Dionysus. The basis was a symbolic game that involved rituals associated with the demise of nature in win-ter and its rebirth in spring. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks built the world’s first theatre for up to 17,000 spectators on the slopes of the Acropolis in honour of Dionysus. On its stage, actors performed Ancient Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, as well as comedies by Aristophanes based on myths. All roles in plays, including female ones, were played by men. They wore masks,

expressing different emo-tions so that they could be seen even by viewers sitting on the outskirts of the giant theatre.After a restoration costing S6 mil-lion, it reopened last September and the ancient stones of the Dionysus Theatre again rang out with lines from the play Prometh-eus Bound by Aeschylus.In the birthplace of theatre, I applauded a play by Aristophanes, called The Birds, performed as part of

last year’s Athens Festival of Arts on the stage of another ancient theatre – the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (built 161 AD) on the slopes of the Acropolis.Taking place from June through to late September, this event attracts theatre-goers and music lovers offering Ancient Greek and modern opera and ballet perform-ances. Since 1955, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus has hosted performances by Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Maurice Bejart and many others. Look for the 2013 festival’s programme in late spring on the event’s official website www.greekfestival.gr, in the Athens

20 / PANORAMA X 4 / 2013

Festival box-office (Stadiou Str. 4) or in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. You can’t miss this theatre as you walk along the popular pedestrian street Dionyssiou Areopagitou. Those romantically inclined will enjoy performances in a contemporary open-air theatre at a height of 277 metres on Mount Lycabettus. Late at night, surrounded by pines, cypresses and the Acropolis, you can spend an unforgettable time watching performances by ancient Greek and modern playwrights, listening to rock concerts and jazz bands. You can get to the top of the mountain using the funicular from the Kolonaki area.

5. See the Changing of the Guard at the ParliamentCome to the Syntagma Square (Constitution Square) and witness the changing of the guard outside the Greek Par-liament. The ceremony, carried out by the elite Presiden-tial Guard – Evzones (translated as “well-girt”) is held every Sunday at 11am, is accompanied by an orches-tra and features an entire regiment of 150 Evzones.It’s not easy to become an Evzone: candidates must be attractive and no less than 187 centimetres tall. Their uniform consists of a jacket, a kilt-like garment called a “foustanella”, woollen stockings and a red cap “farion” with a long tassel – all unbearable in the heat. They also wear shoes with big pompons known as “tsarouchia”, each shoe weighs 5 kilo-grammes and has steel nails in the sole to make an Evzone clatter on the pavement. There was a time too when soldiers hid chiselled knives in their pom-pons. It takes newcomers 45 minutes to put on their uniforms, whereas officers can dress themselves in only 25 minutes.I took a photograph with a guard who did not even blink an eye.

6. Go ShoppingShopping in Athens surprised me both with the range and good prices. Even in September, when I visited the city, many shops offered discounts, though the official summer sales season lasts here from 15 July through to 31 August.Global brands like Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Her-mès and others, are situated in the fashionable area of Kolonaki, and the neighbouring streets of Boukourestiou and Stadiou. Greek fashion houses are also represented here, offering very stylish and high quality clothing.In Athens, one should pay attention to leather shoes, especially summer sandals in Greek style decorated with typical ornaments, leather flowers, beads and precious stones. I bought a stylish pair for just S30: I wear them with pleasure and receive a lot of compliments. Many footwear boutiques are concentrated in the main shop-ping street of Ermou near the central Syntagma Square.When on the same street, don’t forget to drop in to the Spiliopoulos Boutique, where you can buy shoes and handbags from last season’s collections by Prada, Narciso Rodriguez, Alberta Ferretti and Via Spiga for only S80-120. However, it is always crowded with tourists. A calmer atmosphere reigns in the second Spiliopoulos Boutique, on Andrianou Street in the Monastiraki District not far

from a subway station.Greeks are real masters of fine jewellery. Earrings in the shape of a Heracles knot, twisted Byzantine chains and

bracelets, massive earrings in the form of a crescent of silver, gold and semi-precious stones. In Kolonaki, the shop windows of Greek jewellery houses Kessaris and Ilias Lalaounis boast great designs in Byzantine style. Ermou Street will show you simpler, but no less inter-esting Greek-style jewellery from the brand Follie Follie (S30-300).

Surprisingly, for a Mediterranean country, people go to Greece for fur-coats. The city of Kastoria is host to hun-

dreds of fur processors and is located 500 km from Athens, but its fur-coats can be bought in the shops of Ermou or in the nearby streets.If you need souvenirs then head to Plaka and Mon-styraki. In addition to magnets with the Acropolis and the goddess Athena emblazoned on them, you can also buy theatre masks, Greek vases and

authentic figurines made of clay and bronze. You can also buy some local produce: Crete extra

virgin olive oil and Feta cheese, an important ingredi-ent for Greek salad. Even the Cyclop Polyphemus detailed in The Odyssey prepared Feta cheese mixing sheep’s milk with goat milk in bags made of sheep skin. The best selec-tion of products is at the central market, Varvakios Agora.When planning your shopping tour in Athens, remember shops are open from 9am to 2:30pm, and after a siesta – from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.

7. Taste Greek Cuisine and Burn Calories at a NightclubGreek cuisine is rich in olive oil, cheese, and seafood. Locals start their meal with the famous Greek salad and meze, an appetiser made of feta cheese and olives, dressed with olive oil and oregano. The most popular dishes are “mous-saka” – an eggplant casserole, “souvlaki” or skewers, slow-baked lamb on the bone called “kleftiko”, fried squid also known as “kalamari”, and “barbounia” or red mullets. My favourite dish is “stifado”, which is rabbit stew in a sauce with small onions. In Plaka, I found a cosy restaurant called Diogenes situ-ated under the branches of trees (between La Lysikratous Square and Shelley Street), the elegant Daphne’s hidden in the nearby private courtyard (Lysikratous 4), and an under-ground tavern Bakaliarakia o Damigos (Kidathineon 41) all with reasonable prices.

The favourite drinks of the locals include mastic liqueur, Retsina (young wine with the flavour of resin), wine from cellars of Porto Carras or Biblia Hora, the beer Mythos, and the anise-flavoured Ouzo – a few shots and you are ready to burn calories dancing the night away.Fans of nightlife should visit Gazi, a fashionable art and bohemian area with hip bars. Here you will find the glamor-ous nightclub Villa Mercedes (Andronikou and Tzaferi Str. 11) that attracted my attention due to its snow-white terrace, shaded by trees decorated with garlands. The local bartender prepared an excellent strawberry Margarita. Villa Mercedes is always on the list of the world’s top night clubs, accord-ing to British DJ Magazine. It invites the world’s best DJs to play, including David Guetta, Tiësto, and Martin Solveig. The Greeks also love to spend their time in the reasonably-priced nightclub Dream City (Iera Odos Str. 30-32).If you are still hungry, don’t miss the delicious and inexpen-sive seafood restaurant Sardeles with outdoor tables in Gaza (Persefonis Str. 15). In summer, check out the club-restaurant Island situated not far from Athens (27th km Athens – Souniou Ave) on the seaside. A stylish and atmospheric place with vintage fur-nishings, this restaurant is a favourite among jetsetters and international celebrities and is often included in the lists of the best clubs of the world.

NOTRE DAME TURNS 850Paris; through to 24 Novemberwww.notredamedeparis.frCelebrations in honour of the 850th anniversary of Notre Dame de Paris are in full swing. The programme of events includes conferences, exhibi-tions, performances, festivals, organ music concerts and more. Construc-tion of France’s most famous cathedral lasted nearly two centuries, from 1163 to 1345. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the 1831 novel by Victor Hugo, greatly contributed to the cathedral’s fame. One of the f inest examples of French Gothic architecture, the Notre Dame de Paris is still an active church and pilgrimage for tourists from all around the world. Its observation deck offers great views of the French capital.

DALI’S WONDER WORLDMadrid; 26 April – 2 September www.museoreinasofia.es In late April, a retrospective of works by Salvador Dali opens at Madrid’s Queen Sofia Museum. Last year, it was held at the Paris Centre Pompidou and became one of the most successful exhibitions in the museum’s history. Going on display will be more than 200 paintings, sculptures and graphic works by the famous Spanish surrealist. The exhibition also features Luis Buñuel’s film The Golden Age with Dali as a co-author, sets and scenery from his never completed film-project Babaou, as well as documentaries that reveal the artist’s philosophy.

WALPURGIS NIGHT – THE STUDENT WAYHelsinki; 30 April – 1 May www.visithelsinki.fi Finnish students have their own quaint tradition to celebrate the Day of Saint Walpurga. On 30 April, at Helsinki’s Market Square, more than 30,000 citizens and tourists alike will gather to watch the symbol of the city – the Havis Amanda fountain – covered by a white student’s hat. Then the party begins with participants throwing their hats into the air, launching balloons and drinking wine and cider. Some students brave the cold jets of the fountain to kiss the bronze sea maiden for luck. The party lasts all night and continues the next day with a picnic in one of the capital’s parks.

DAVID BOWIE UNRAVELLED London; through to 11 Augustwww.vam.ac.uk An exhibition devoted to David Bowie is now underway in the Vic-toria and Albert Museum. This iconic British rock musician, composer and actor was known as a chameleon in the rock music world due to his frequent changes of image. The collection presents about 300

objects, most of which are on display for the first time; from set-lists and lyrics, to original stage costumes, sketches and drawings, pho-tographs from personal archives and musical instruments. In March, Bowie released a new studio album entitled The Next Day, his first in 10 years, so it’s timely to take a glimpse behind the scenes of the

creative processes of a man who has been a major figure in music for more than 40 years.

SPA SEASON IS OPEN!Karlovy Vary; 3-5 May www.karlovy-vary.cz Czech resort Karlovy Vary is famous for its healing mineral springs, clean air and health and beauty treatments. This year, the spa season officially opens on 3 May. To mark the occasion, tourists are invited to join a festive carnival procession, which will be “led” by the founder of the town, King Charles IV (no he hasn’t been resurrected, he will be played by an actor). The programme includes a ceremony to consecrate the springs, craft fairs, concerts and costumed street performances. On 4 May, there will be a gastronomic festival featuring food and drink prepared by the best local bartenders and cooks.

his year could be Beyoncé’s biggest yet, and it started with a bang as she fast cements her status as an American icon. She was called on to perform the American national anthem at the inauguration of

President Barack Obama, and followed this by headlining the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII. Then, in rapid succession, she financed, directed, produced, narrated, and starred in HBO documentary Life Is But a Dream about herself and her family, before signing a $50 million endorsement deal with Pepsi. In April, she embarks on The Mrs Carter Show World Tour to promote her fifth solo album, which, as you read this, you may already know the name of. It is becoming quite clear who “runs the world” today.

ÉShe’s the soul/pop vocalist, multiple Grammy Award winner and film star known as the Texas triple-threat – Beyoncé – and in 2013, her star as one of the most-recognisable figures in modern R&B is only set to shine brighter. Beyoncé is on a post-baby comeback that could be labelled a pop-cultural blitzkrieg

30 / PANORAMA X 4 / 2013

Do you believe in destiny?Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter’s journey began in 1990, when the future star was nine years old. She and her childhood friend Kelly Rowland met LaTavia Rob-erson at an audition for an all-girl entertainment group. With LeToya Luckett and two others, they formed Girl’s Tyme, what was to be the foundations for Destiny’s Child. Beyoncé’s father, Matthew Knowles, quit his job and took up the management of the band and later cut the line-up to Beyoncé, Rowland, Roberson and Luckett. The group’s first self-titled album Destiny’s Child, produced in 1998, sold three million copies, which established the group as a viable act in the music industry. The group released their multi-plati-num second album The Writing’s on the Wall in 1999, which sold more than eight million copies. But cracks began to appear. Roberson and Luckett quit and were replaced by Farrah Fran-klin and Michelle Williams. Franklin was dismissed after five months. The remaining band members recorded Independent Women Part I in 2000, their best-charting single, topping the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 consecutive weeks and off the back of that hit, their third album Survivor released in May 2001, was assured success. It débuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 663,000 copies sold, and spawned other number-one hits, Bootylicious and the title track, Survivor. In October 2001, the group announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers, but it is Beyoncé’s that has proved the most successful. Her first single Work It Out was on the soundtrack of comedy film Austin Powers: Gold-member (2002), in which she played the lead female role. More movies and singles followed to mixed success and reviews, but it was her debut album Dangerously In Love (2003) that would rocket her to superstardom and silence any critics. Subsequently, Beyoncé joked during her tour Beyoncé – I Am… Yours in Las Vegas: “They doubted my tal-ent and said that I would never write a hit song. They were right, I didn’t make a single… I made five!” Dangerously In Love not only led the hit chart Billboard 200 with sales of 317,000 copies during the first week, but also went platinum four times and remains her most successful album.

Beyoncé’s BirthIn 2005, Destiny’s Child embarked on the Destiny Fulfilled… and Lovin’ It tour in support of final album Destiny Fulfilled before announcing their group would disband. However, Beyoncé, Rowland and Williams would reunite this year, shar-ing Beyoncé’s triumph during her performance at the Super-bowl. Together, they also released a compilation album of the best Love Songs, which included the brand new single Nuclear – but a permanent reunion is not on the cards.

With the end of Destiny’s Child the era of Beyoncé began. On her 25th birthday, the star released her second album titled B’DAY – a milestone showing Beyoncé to be an independ-ent and credible artist. And her B’DAY was met with gifts: the album took first place in the Billboard 200, sold 541,000 cop-ies during its first week, and the single Irreplaceable topped the charts of five countries simul-taneously. B’DAY also brought Beyoncé more Grammy Awards for Best R&B album and Best Song of the Year (Irreplaceable). Her duet with Shakira, Beautiful Liar, broke Billboard Hot 100 his-torical records, ascending from 94th on the list to number three in just one week! Collaborations work for her – Beyoncé’s duet with Lady Gaga, Telephone, was

a top 10 hit in many countries, and Gaga promised to con-tinue that cooperation in her new album ARTPOP.

“Schizophrenia”That was the diagnosis given to Beyoncé’s third album I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008). As she explained, there are two people living in her at the same time – Beyoncé and alter ego Sasha Fierce. The first is a gentle, modest and roman-tic girl, while the second is the tough and sexy performer that viewers see at concerts and in videos. It was as if she

was marking the division between Beyoncé the per-son and her performer’s persona and decided

to show both sides to the world with an album, which consisted of two CDs. In I

Am, her songs are melodic and emo-tional, while in Sasha Fierce, the dance hits are accompanied by feisty vocals.The album garnered a huge response, Beyoncé was at the top of her game and it became the most discussed release of 2009, critics and fans watched her video clips even

more closely, trying to guess which of the personalities of the singer was on

screen. It’s one of the reasons why music video for Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)

soon became one of the most popular vid-eos online ever and sparked a slew of parodies.

The buzz was reinforced by the fact that Beyoncé was the most nominated artist at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards – and went home with six of the 10 Grammys she was nominated for.

PANORAMA X 4 / 2013 / 31

It’s a different side of Beyoncé when it comes to her act-ing, she appears as accomplished an actor as she is a singer. Beyoncé appeared in Dreamgirls, a movie about a successful 1960s girl group similar to The Supremes, where she played a historical prototype of Diana Ross. For this role, Beyoncé was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress and Best Song (Listen). It will be interesting to see what her new film Epic brings after it hits cinemas in May 2013.

Work Comes First At just 31, the superstar has reached heights that most peo-ple can only dream of, becoming a true symbol of a strong

and successful woman. Her secret is constant work: “I really worked hard before I reached my goals. But

before my 30th birthday I could afford to do what I want,” Beyoncé said in her recent inter-

view with American magazine GQ. “I had to sacrifice many things and I think I worked a lot more than anyone of those people I know in the music business.”Beyoncé’s addiction to working is leg-endary. She carefully reviews every per-formance to critique herself, but the next morning each participant in the show

will also receive a lot of feedback and suggestions. In GQ, the singer admitted: “I

watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late.

I see, ‘Oh God, that hair did not work.’ Or ‘I should never do that again.’ I try to perfect myself.”

It is such diligence that helps Beyoncé achieve what seems to be impossible: she became the first artist to simultane-ously reach the top position in both the American and British charts for her debut solo album Dangerously In Love and for the single Crazy In Love. In her collection of awards there are 16 Grammys. The singer has sold 75 million albums, her name appears in the list of 100 most powerful women in the world according to the Forbes magazine (32nd place). And Barack Obama admits that Beyoncé is the best example for his daughters.

From Superstar to SupermomIn her recent interviews the singer constantly confesses that the most important thing in her life is her family. Even in her documentary, which was released on 16 February, Beyoncé repeatedly thanked and declared her love for her husband Jay-Z. And, showing her rounded belly, she noted that it was the least she could thank her husband with. In response, the famous rapper dedicated his song Glory to his wife and their daughter, Blue Ivy, born on 7 January 2011. The newborn baby took part in the recording of the song – you can hear her crying at the end.Now, the newly-made mother brings Blue Ivy to her rehears-als, and listens to playbacks of her tracks in headphones while her daughter sleeps in her arms. In her recent interview with American Vogue, Beyoncé promised that her fifth album is going to be more sensual, being written by wife and mother. It will be a kind of continuation of her previous release with the laconic title 4 (2011), which symbolised the number of years that Beyoncé and her husband had been married.Not surprisingly, the name of the singer’s latest tour is also linked to Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter). By taking his name, Beyoncé has officially shown everyone that besides a successful singer and an actress she’s a loving wife and mother. So plenty of love is the least you can expect from Mrs Carter’s tour.

PORSCHE 911 TURNS 50In 2013, Porsche celebrates the 50th anniversary of its 911 model. With about 820,000 models produced, it became one of the most successful sports cars ever. The latest version of the model, PORSCHE 911 GT3, debuted at the Geneva International Motor Show 2013. A 475-horsepower engine contributes to the car’s impressive per-formance statistics, which include acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5sec. The model’s body is lighter, and is equipped with extra aerodynamic elements. Power aggregate and running gear feature a number of specially developed or adapted components that means the new stage of GT3 development comes with a substantial increase in performance across all technical indexes. Another feature is the active rear suspension management, used in a production Porsche for the first time.

Vilnius seduces some visitors by being home to one of the largest surviving medieval quarters in Europe, but there’s much more to Lithuania’s capital than its baroque old town charms. Boasting an array of hip bars, unusual museums and a self-proclaimed, independent republic inhabited by artists, the city maintains a spirit of freedom and resistance that existed even during the Soviet era

sity in the 19th century, and housed an anatomical theatre, a library and other facilities. The Baroque St Casimir’s church is another gem of the city. Aubros Vartai, or the Gate of Dawn, the only gate that survived from the ancient city wall, is in fact a church too. There is always a queue of pilgrims near the chapel next to the gate, which houses a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary.

Make a WishFor several centuries, the military, political, administrative and spiritual authorities of Lithuania were concentrated in the main square of the city, Cathedral Square. Its central landmark is the white Cathedral of Vilnius, where the Grand Dukes of Lithuania were both crowned and buried, including the most powerful ruler of Lithuania, Vytautas the Great. To visit the crypts, you should book a tour in advance. However, anyone may visit the cathedral at any time and for free. There is a 51-metre high bell tower nearby with a clock that lacks a minute hand. You soon get to know the approximate local time, however, thanks to the chime of the bell; it rings every 15 minutes.To make a wish come true, find a tile in the square with the word Stebuklas (miracle), step on it and turn around three times. The tile was placed on Cathedral Square to commemo-rate the “human chain” from Tallinn through Riga to Vilnius, as the residents of the three Baltic countries lined up in 1989 protesting for the end of the Soviet Bloc and recalling the lost independence of the Baltic States 50 years earlier.

Get on TopA symbol of Vilnius and Lithuania, the 13th century Gediminas’ Tower rises from the top of Castle Hill. It is the only remain-ing part of the city’s Upper Castle. Vilnius first appeared on the map thanks to Grand Duke Gediminas. Once, tired after a hunting expedition, he fell asleep at the foot of Castle Hill. There, he had a strange dream of an iron wolf that led a pack of wolves in the hundreds. According to interpretation of the story, Gediminas felt compelled and inspired to build a castle and found a town on the spot. It would be unassailable, like the iron wolf of his dream, and its fame would spread all over the world like the howling of hundreds of wolves. To get on top of the hill, use the funicular or, even better, climb up on foot, imagining you’re following in the historical footsteps of the mighty princes on horseback. Gediminas’ Tower houses a small historical museum and an observation deck, which is reached by 87 steps.The nearby Hill of Three Crosses also provides a breathtaking view. Legend has it that the crosses were placed here in hon-our of Franciscan monks who had been killed by pagans on

he small scale of the city makes it a very comfort-able destination for visitors. Travelling from the airport to a hotel situated in the centre of Vilnius will take only 20 minutes. But even if you choose

to stay in a reasonably priced hostel on the outskirts of the city, you can easily reach the city centre on foot or by bike. Plus, it is simple to go from Vilnius to any other major cit-ies of Lithuania; the journey to the historic cities of Trakai and Kaunas will take up to one-and-a-half hours, meaning Lithuania is just begging to be explored.

DAY ONE

Getting Acquainted With the CityThe first thing that impresses visitors to Vilnius is the architectural variety of its Old Town. Gothic architecture is harmoniously combined here with the baroque and neo-classical, and Catholic churches nestle side-by-side with buildings constructed in the socialist realism style.Churches are threaded throughout the streets of the Old City like beads, meaning it is little wonder Vilnius is often called the city of 100 churches. One of the most prominent symbols of the capital is the Church of St Anne, founded more than five centuries ago. At the time this architectural masterpiece was so admired by Napoleon Bonaparte that he wanted to move it to France. However, the architectural wonder didn’t prevent him from basing his military cavalry in Vilnius during the War of 1812.The nearby Bernardine Church suffered a more dramatic fate. It was used for defense, as is evident from the slits in the walls, and later turned into a warehouse during Soviet times. The Cathedral of the Theotokos, constructed by Kievan architects in 1348, was owned by the Vilnius Univer-

the same spot in the 14th century. According to another version, the crosses were set in place in 1387 when Vilnius was granted Magdeburg rights.If you are not quite satisfied with the view from the Castle Hill, you have the chance to see the city from a bird’s eye view. Vilnius is one of the few European cities where you can fly in hot air balloons over the city centre. A flight costs about S100 per person.

The Taste of CepelinaiLithuanians are masters of inventing dishes from the humble, yet versatile potato. To get acquainted with the local cuisine, start with cepelinai, a type of dumpling made from grated potatoes and stuffed with minced meat, cottage cheese or mushrooms. Cepelinai got their name because of their shape, resembling that of a Zeppelin airship. Other popular Lithuanian dishes include eemaific bly-nai, the so-called “Samogitian pancakes”, kugelis (a baked potato pudding) or vedarai, and sausages made from pork intestines stuffed with grated potatoes. The country is also famous for smoked and cured meat; the ham made from wild boar was once accepted as money in the Lithuanian treasury.

Unusual MuseumsThe eerie Museum of Genocide Victims (Aukc g. 2A) is located in the building where the KGB (the Committee for State Security of the former USSR) was head-quartered from 1944 through to 1990. Its grey façade concealed an under-ground prison, which has remained almost untouched to this day. Among the surviving rooms there are two-dozen jails cells, an isolation cell, torture chambers and rooms for carrying out executions. Surpris-ingly, former political prisoners work as guides, they know this place inside and out and the tales it has to tell.The Museum of Money of the Bank of Lithuania (Totoric g. 2/8) has a much more positive vibe and provides an intro-duction into the history of the county’s money and banking system with the help of interactive displays and games. And an original Customs Museum (Jeruzalds g. 25) tells visitors about smuggling since the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania until today.

Neon LightsThe nightlife in compact Vilnius easily surpasses that of a sprawling metropolis. For dinner, choose trendy restaurant Kitchen (Didzioji g. 11) or for something a little more stylish opt for Stebuklai (Gyndjc g. 14). Lauro Lapas (Pamenkalnio 24) is managed by young and adventurous chefs and nips at the heels of the first two in terms of popularity. Connoisseurs of unusual dining experirences will like the conceptual restau-rant René (M. Antokolskio g.), named after Belgian artist René Magritte. You don’t have to leave the old town to continue the evening. There will be a pub or club to suit everybody, from lovers of beer, to hipsters, to the glamour set.

DAY TWO

Amber TearsIf the city had a colour, Vilnius would have a shade of amber, that semi-precious material that is the symbol and pride of the country. According to one legend, amber is the tears of the sea goddess Jurate and debris from her castle, which

was destroyed by the god of thunder Perkunas in a fit of jealously after he learned of her love for a

simple fisherman. Of course, science has a habit of dismissing legend, and scholars will tell you amber is the

fosilised resin of Scandinavian pine-trees. It may not always be the translucent yellow, orange, or brownish-yellow you expect. In Lithuania, you can often find amber that is white and known as “royal”. Blue or black varieties of amber are less common. One may learn more details about the famous material in the Museum-gallery of Amber (Sv. Mykolo g. 8). Not only is amber on display, but you can get advice about what and where to buy it.

Souvenirs as a KeepsakeThe traditional destination in Vilnius for souvenirs is Pilies Street. In addition to amber, you can find goods made of wood, clay and flax by local craftsmen.Another good place for souvenir hunting is the steep street, Stikliu, which is home to many workshops and shops. Go there to find one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces, items made of coloured glass, handmade clothing, paintings and more.If you are looking for something less mass produced and more authentic, do not miss the flea market near the shopping centre known as Acropolis. You can find almost anything on shelves here; from old coins, photos and postcards to vintage clothing, toys and furniture. Lovers of antiques and collecta-bles should not miss the Saturday Collectors Club near the House of Trade Unions. Items for sale tell the city’s history just as well as a visit to a museum.

The Republic of HipstersVilnius has a separate state within the city – similar to Rome’s Vatican, the Vilnius version is called the Republic of Ugupis and has its own flag, anthem, currency, president, constitution,

army (consisting of approximately 11 men) and diplo-matic relations with Paris’ Montmartre and Copenhagen’s Christiania. However, it is all with toungue firmly in cheek. Independence Day in this art-republic is celebrated on 1 April (April Fool’s Day). The first order after the foundation of the Republic in 1997 was to build a monument to American musician Frank Zappa, an obligatory item in the to-do list for all music lovers who visit here. In bohemian Ugupis, you will find it full of an atmosphere of relaxed civil disobedience, discover many eclectic bars and cafés as well as a collection of graffiti street art.

A Walk in the ParkAbout 20 kilometres from the city you can find the spacious Park of Europe (www.europosparkas.lt), which is a real open-air museum and gallery. According to scientists from the French National Institute of Geography, here is the geographical cen-tre of Europe. Among hundreds of works by contemporary artists from around the world, there exists a record-holder as the Largest TV Sculpture in the Guinness World Records: a toppled statue of Lenin among a maze of old TVs.

Sweet LifeTo relax with a cup of tea is just what you need after a long walk. Forget about boring black tea with lemon. In Vilnius, you can try teas derived from acorns, thyme and even amber. A great selection of teas and pastries may be found in the pretty coffee house Skonis ir Kvapas (Traku g. 8). A favourite place of chocolate lovers in Vilnius is the tea and pastry house Pilies Sokoladine (Pilies g. 8), where you can taste handmade sweets and delicious hot chocolate. You can purchase a hakotis cake shaped like a Christmas tree as a souvenir.

Wine and CircusesEven those who fall asleep listening to classical music should visit the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet, just to admire the elegant interior. In April, the theatre offers a programme dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Richard Wagner.A worthy continuation of the evening will be a glass of dry red wine in one of the many wine bars of Vilnius. For example, the popular In Vino (Aubros Vartc g. 7) near the National Philhar-monic. In order to make the evening even more decadent you can drop in to the restaurant La Boheme (Sv. Ignoto g. 4/3): in one of its rooms, you may drink wine or eat… in bed.

Istanbul is so much more than monolithic minarets and beguiling bazaars: Turkey’s cultural capital is also fashionable and progressive, yet steeped in history as one of the world’s most important cities. It was the capital of four empires (Roman, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman) and then as now it stretches along both banks of the swift Bosphorus. The water cuts the city like a knife between Europe and Asia. Straddling two continents creates a mix that has won Istanbul the accolade “World’s Hippest City”

Blue Mosque in 1616, it shocked the Muslim world because no mosque in the world was allowed to have as many mina-rets as Mecca’s Masjid al-Haram. Mecca responded to the challenge with the construction of a seventh minaret.Despite the unprecedented ambition of Ahmed the First, The Blue Mosque is inferior in size, height and diametre of the dome in comparison with Sofia. If you venture inside, which requires enduring long queues, covering “provoca-tive” body parts and taking off your shoes before entering, you will understand why the functioning mosque is known as Blue. Its interior is decorated with about 20,000 blue handmade tiles that shimmer in the sunlight that penetrates through the 260 windows.The nearby square as well as the mosque is named after Sultan Ahmed. In ancient times, there was a tradition to decorate it with trophies from corners of the empire. Here you will find the Egyptian obelisk of the Thutmose III era, the Serpentine Column from the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Obelisk of Constantine, a 35-metre column brought in 330BC from Rome to be erected in honour of the new capital. According to legend, there are many relics, hidden beneath it, including the axe of Noah and remnants of bread Jesus fed the people with.

hile Istanbul has lost its official capital title, it remains the largest city in Turkey, constituting the country’s economic, cultural, and historical heart, and as

such attracts more tourists than any other Turkish city. Throughout its rich history, the city was also known as Byzantium and Constantinople, both a centre of Chris-tian civilization and a stronghold of Islam. Discover the best of what this fascinating city has to offer.

Hagia SophiaOriginally a church, later a mosque, and now a museum, this rose-coloured building with a monu-mental dome and minarets on both sides that towers over the centre of the old town is one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. Every year more than a million tourists visit this temple of “holy wisdom”. Built in the epoch of the Emperor Justinian, Hagia Sophia had to symbolise the splendour of the empire. Money on construction was spent lavishly: decoration alone used 145 tonnes of gold. The dome was an incredible size for its time – 31 metres in diametre. At one time, the central bronze gate of the luxurious cathedral could be used only by the emperor, and only in 1935 did it open to the public when the cathedral was turned into a museum.In its almost 1,500-year history, Istanbul’s most recognisable landmark has experienced three devastating earthquakes (in 557, 989 and 1346), as well as bearing witness to radical changes in doctrine. From 537 and through to the middle of the 15th century, the temple was an Orthodox church, where the Byzantine emperors were crowned. In 1453, Con-stantinople was captured by the Turks, who added minarets to Sophia, and Muslims started to pray there. The changes affected the interior as well, where the ancient mosaics and the face of the Virgin Mary now sit alongside Arabic scrip-tures and quotations from the Koran.

The Blue Mosque (The Sultan Ahmed Mosque)The second mosque among the most famous of the city was built with the intention of outshining Sofia itself. Ahmed the First wanted to build a temple that would surpass even that found in Mecca. When six minarets appeared around the

48 / PANORAMA X 4 / 2013

Basilica CisternIn Istanbul, you should not

only look at your surroundings, but also what’s beneath your feet. There

is an underground reservoir hidden within walking distance from Sophia. This is hard to believe when you walk around the sunny central square. The Cistern is some-times called 1001 columns due to its deco-ration, but the number of marble props is exaggerated. Today, 336 columns have survived, among them 17 which have been propping up the ancient ceiling for centuries. Do not be surprised that they differ: they were brought from various ancient temples. The column set up on the head of the mythical Medusa is par-ticularly impressive. Maybe it has turned everything around it into stone?The Cistern’s construction started in the 9th century during the reign of Emperor Constantine. It served as a water reservoir that was needed due to the rapid growth in population. After the conquest of the city, the Turks did not even consider the existence of such a “pool”. Instead, it was discovered by chance: it was noticed that locals were extracting water and fish in their homes by lowering buckets into holes in the foundations. Schools of gold fish still swim among the ancient columns that once featured in the James Bond film From Russia with Love.

Topkapi PalaceThis spacious palace complex with a total area of over 700,000 square metres is situated on the cape of the spit of Bosphorus and Golden Horn, and is a to-do on any itinerary. In the past, this was the holy of holies for Turkish sultans and the chief palace of the Ottoman Empire, the entrance to which was open only to chosen ones.In 1924, by order of the “father of the nation” Mustafa Ataturk, the palace complex was turned into a museum. The idea to build the luxury residence was that of 23-year-old Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. For four centuries, Turkish rulers car-ried out their state affairs here and then took their rest in the harem as a reward for the hard work of overseeing an empire. The part of the palace inhabited by the captive beauties seems to be the most attractive to tourists. It is interesting to imagine what struggles and intrigues for the affection of the sultan took place in these halls paved with blue tiles!The wealth of Turkish sultans is on display with items from the treasury which was stocked with exceptional artifacts amassed over 470 years. Among them there are jewellery, weapons and ceremonial objects of pilgrimage for Muslims, such as the hair, teeth and a foot imprint of the Prophet Muhammad.

Grand Bazaar and Spice BazaarThe real “city within a city”, where you can easily spend the whole day, is the Grand Bazaar, a quarter consisting of 58 streets, 5,000 shops and many cafés hidden in the historical centre of Istanbul. Its construction started in 1464, imme-diately after the capture of Constantinople. As one of the largest markets in the world, they sell all of what is usually associated with Turkey: jewellery, silk handkerchiefs, rugs and pottery.

In the Ottoman Empire, there were three types of markets: “bedesten” (similar to the Grand Bazaar, where gold, brocade and silk were sold), “charsha” where textiles and carpets were sold and the “pazar”, an open market with food. An example of the third type in Istanbul is the covered market of spices, the Spice Bazaar, which was attached to the new Mosque complex in the form of a letter “L” at the beginning of the 17th century. As it has always been, the market is famous for its assortment of spices and Turkish sweets. Because it was built using the money from taxes on imported oriental spices from Egypt, it is also called the Egyptian Bazaar.

Turkish CoffeeIt does not matter where exactly you order this drink, in Istanbul it is prepared everywhere in the same delicious way. In the city’s numerous cafés you will be offered three types of the drink, boiled in a cezve: without sugar, sweet and very sweet, and served your cup of coffee like tea – on a plate with a floral pattern.It is interesting to note that previously, coffee had a reli-gious function in Istanbul. It was prepared near mosques to prevent the Turks from falling asleep during the long prayers that started at five o’clock in the morning. There is a legend that the ordinary cup we are so accustomed to is originally from Istanbul. Sultans did not like the fact that a bowl in a form of a glass filled with a hot drink was uncom-fortable to hold, so a handle was added to it. Due to Otto-man conquests, the culture of drinking “kahvesi” spread through Europe.

Galata TowerThe opposite bank of the Golden Horn Bay hosts the Beyojlu district. It can be seen from afar thanks to the Galata Tower that stands upon a hill. It is led to by the eponymous Galata Bridge which bustles with life day and night. At the lower level, restaurants are busy cooking freshly caught fish for guests while rods hang above their heads. The upper level of the bridge is densely packed with fishermen. The rapid flow of Bosphorus changes direction towards the bay taking herring shoals to the traps awaiting them. The history of bridges over the Golden Horn started in 1453 when, during the siege of Constantinople, the Turks built

temporary structures for ferrying their troops across the water. After half a century, discussions about construct-ing bridges across the bay started. Even Leonardo da Vinci offered his own plan, but it remained only on paper. The present bridge is the fifth version. From the bridge a staircase takes you up to the Genoese tower built in 1348. According to legend, its name is derived from the Italian “calata” what means a steep slope. At the top of Galata Tower visitors can dine in the restaurant and are granted a beautiful view of the entire city.

Istiklal AvenueIstanbul’s main shopping street, Istiklal Avenue stretches almost from Galata Bridge to Taksim Square. If you don’t walk along it then you will not have not seen the real Istanbul. It’s a permanently busy street with a European atmosphere interspersed with Asian elements as soon as you venture off in any direction.A long pedestrian street, it houses retailers representing European brands, sweet shops, restaurants and bookshops. Among the 19th century buildings are embassies, galleries and museums. The soul of the street is an old tram that has been functioning here on a narrow one-track line since 1871. When Istanbul became heavily populated with cars, the authorities decided to get rid of what they believed to be obsolete vehicles, but the local people rose to protect the tram. Taking this tram is a traditional ritual for many.

Bosphorus TourIstanbul is an unusual city and therefore its main throroughfare is unique. No, it is not the above mentioned Istiklal, but the one that has run through the city from its birth and thus captures the character of the city. This is the Bosphorus River.

The Turks have a spe-cial affection for the wide blue “boulevard” that divides Istanbul into two parts. There have been attempts to connect both sides since times immemorial: in 513 BC, the Persian King Darius wanted to ferry his 70,000-strong army across so ships were brought close to each other forming a make-shift bridge. However, permanently connecting the Euro-pean and the Asian bank took place only in 1967 when a huge bridge was built over the Bosphorus. You can buy a ticket for a Bosphorus cruise, which will take you underneath the bridge, in the box-office on the waterfront near the Galata Bridge. During the trip you will see the first fortress of the city, the 14th century Asian Fortress, which is located at the narrowest point of the Bosphorus. Ironically, there’s the European Fortress on the opposite bank. From the water Istanbul can be contemplated from a completely different perspective

and is able to enchant you as much as it did the Nobel Prize winner for literature, Turk-ish writer Orhan Pamuk who describes his hometown so vividly.

The Prince Islands (Tdalar)If you want a break from the hustle and bus-tle of the big city, then do as the locals do. They choose an archipelago

of nine islands in the Sea of Marmara, called the Prince Islands. When enterprising, Turks realised the potential for a resort, rich people bought up the land and built cottages here.You can reach the islands several times a day, by taking the ferry from the Kabatak waterfront which will deliver you to one of four islands – Büyükada (the largest), Hey-beliada, Burgazada, or Kınalıada – in 40 minutes. On the islands you will find luxurious villas and a lack of trans-port. Wealthy people have built multi-storied palaces here, but cars are non-existent. You can get around on foot, by bike or on horseback, and this is to preserve the ecology of the islands. So if you suddenly get tired of Istanbul’s excitement, you know where to run away to. Although it is impossible to get tired of Istanbul…

With more than 400 years of history as the Polish capital, Warsaw is a city of great legend and even greater trag-edy. Yet it is a city undergoing a rebirth. Visiting Warsaw is all about seeing a city pull itself back to its feet time and time again. Maybe the key to its resilience are the legen-dary characters that dominate the city’s folklore By Inesa Melnychenko

found them was also struck dead. Authori-ties finally sent a condemned prisoner with mirrors attached to his chest and back to seal the creature’s fate. Struck by its own deathly glance, the basilisk dropped dead. Now, Warsaw residents joke this is the look

guests of this expensive restaurant give when they receive the bill.

The Legend of the MermaidWhile you admire the exquisite façades in the Old Town,

consider another legend. There once lived two mermaids in the Baltic Sea. Sisters, they had spent their whole existence in the sea, before apparently getting bored of the aquatic life. One day they both decided to come ashore. The first sister headed up to the Danish straits, and so she sits at the entrance to the port of Copenhagen to this day. The second sister reached the port of Gdansk, and then swam the Vistula River to Warsaw, where she decided to stay. Local fishermen heard her singing and decided they could make serious money, so caught the mermaid. Later, a local young man heard the mermaid’s cries for help and freed her. The mermaid was grateful for his aid and prom-ised to defend the young man’s village, which later grew into Warsaw. Now a symbol of the Polish capital, the mermaid is depicted on the city’s coat of arms holding a sword and shield. This image first appeared in 1390. Meanwhile, in the Old Town stands a famous sculpture of the mermaid, known as Syrenka, who occupied her place in the square since 1855. In 2008, the original sculpture was moved to the Museum of Warsaw His-tory (Rynek Starego Miasta 42), and replaced with a copy. Stretching from the Old Town Market Square are several streets, which, despite their size, occupy important places in history. The Stone Steps (Kamienne Schodki) Street became famous thanks to Napoleon Bonaparte, who used it to get to the Vistula River in 1806.

o admire the city’s picture-postcard Old Town today, you can hardly believe that it was painstakingly rebuilt from ashes. During World War II, some 90% of the historical buildings in Warsaw were destroyed.

Thanks to the meticulous work of Polish architects, historians and fine art experts, the centre of the city was restored brick by brick according to plans, paintings, old prints and pho-tographs. The attention to detail is such that the Old Town, despite in reality being only several decades old, is recog-nised by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site. This is a city keen to preserve its past and centuries-old legacy, and that includes its legends both now and into the future.

The Legend of Wars and SawaIt is the stuff of fairytales, but legend has it that once upon a time (which is when these things always take place), a fisher-man named Wars lived with his wife Sawa on the bank of the Vistula River. One day, Wars caught a mermaid in his net. The fisherman released the beautiful creature, who promised to repay him for his kindness. Soon after, a prince lost his way in a forest not far from Wars and Sawa’s tiny hut. The mermaid showed the prince the way to the fisherman’s home, and the prince thanked the couple for their help and hospitality by granting them a large parcel of land. Thus, the land came to be known by the name Warszawa, as a tribute to the kindness of the fisherman and his wife. However, historians are less romantic, stating the city came to existence in the 13th century. At first, the settle-ment was protected by earthworks, replaced in the late 14th century with a fortification wall, where it was only possible to enter the city through the giant Northern Gate. A mighty barbican with four towers, still stands next to the gate and might well be the perfect place to start a sightsee-ing tour of the city.

The Legend of BasiliskLeading from the fortification walls to the Old Town are nar-row streets with a multitude of shops, offering anything a tourist might desire. Here, Polish craftsmen sell their paintings, jewellery, embroidery, musical instruments and other souve-nirs. However, don’t be in a hurry to spend your money, it’s better to take your time, look around and admire Warsaw’s heart and soul – the Old Town Market Place. The buildings feature renaissance and baroque façades, which started to appear on this square in the 13th and 14th centuries. Each of them has an exciting back-story. However, number 5 is possibly the most interesting. It was occupied in the 16th century by Royal doctor Wojciech Oczko and now houses a restaurant called Bazyliszek (www.bazyliszek.waw.pl). Its name derives from the legend of Basilisk – a half-bird, half-snake-like creature popular in mythology across Europe. It was said to have the power to kill with a single glance. In 1587, two children were killed by a Basilisk while they were playing in an abandoned Warsaw cellar in the Old Town. A servant who

A landmark of Kanonia Street is the Warsaw Bell. Cast in 1646, they say that walking around the bell three times may bring you luck. Also on Kanonia Street the narrowest house in Warsaw can be found. This two-storey building has only one window at each level. Before heading to the Castle Square, take your time to lis-ten to the old organ grinder, a star of the Old Town Market Place. If you give him some money, the parrot that sits on his shoulder will retrieve a fortune-telling message from a small box. From here you can continue your journey by foot or – to feel a little like royalty – ride in a horse-drawn carriage, the only transport permitted in the Old Town. Though, you’ll have to pay like royalty for the privilege!

The Legend of Sigismund In the 13th century, a wooden fortress stood on the ter-ritory of present-day Castle Square. In time, a castle was constructed and the Old Town grew around it. The pace of development was rapid and in 1596, King of Poland Sigismund III Vasa moved the capital of the country from Krakow to Warsaw. The castle then became the official royal residence of the Polish monarchs. Here, the Constitution of 3 May 1791 was proclaimed, Europe’s first and the world’s second after the US Constitution. Now, the Royal Castle is a museum hosting numerous historical exhibitions. Open to visitors are the Senate Hall, the Knights Hall, the royal bedroom and the Marble Room, which features portraits of the Polish monarchs. In 1644, a monument to Sigismund III Vasa was installed on the Castle Square and immediately became subject of its own legend. In his right hand, the king holds a sabre. According to the legend, if he lowers his arm, Warsaw will be defeated.

The Legend of the Golden DuckAccording to another legend, the Golden Duck, in fact a princess enchanted by the devil, was living in a small pond, surrounded with gold and diamonds, in the cellars beneath the Ostrogski Castle. There, she waited for a poor ordinary citizen to set her free. According to most versions of the legend, the duck will give 100 golden ducats (a trade coin throughout Europe before World War I) to anyone who dares enter the labyrinth of cellars and manages to find her. The small fortune, however, is to be spent entirely on that per-son’s own wishes and desires. None could be given away or left for another day. Depending on the version of the legend, there are two similar endings.

In the first, a poor young boy finds the duck, but is unable to spend all the money in one day. He gives the remainder to a beggar. The golden duck disappears, taking with her all the riches hidden beneath the castle, but from that day on the boy is lucky. In the second ver-sion, a soldier finds the duck. A drunk, he has no trouble spending all the money on drinking with his friends. However, shortly before returning to the cellars to claim the fortune and princess’ hand, he sees an old beggar and gives him a single penny from his pocket. The duck disappears taking all the riches away, but the soldier lives his life happily ever after. To commemorate the legend, a monument to Golden Duck was erected next to the Ostrogski Castle, which now houses the Chopin Museum. Uncover these tales for yourself in Warsaw and discover why this city is the stuff of legend.

of legend. They say that locals coordinated their watches to when Kant took his daily stroll. Working at home, the author of the Critique of Pure Reason had a habit of look-ing through a window at the spire of a church. When the trees in the neighbouring garden began to affect his view, he made a scene and didn’t settle down until his neigh-bour pruned the offending branches. The philosopher’s tomb lies beside the walls of the brick Gothic-style Königsberg Cathedral, constructed in the early 14th century. Two rooms of the Cathedral Museum (Sovet-skiy Ave 21; www.sobor-kaliningrad.ru) are devoted to Kant and will tell you more about the life and outstanding work of the “Sage of Königsberg”. Getting There: UIA offers daily flights from Kiev and other Ukrainian cities to Kaliningrad. Rostov-on-DonThe city, which lies on the mighty Don River, and the Cos-sack capitals around the wider region make for an intrigu-ing stopover for a couple of days, and the best time to visit the city is late spring or summer. That’s when the Don embankment is covered in lush greenery, and along it numerous restaurants seduce visitors with their tempt-ing aromas. The history of the city, which is often called the Southern capital of Russia, can be traced back to 1749, when a custom house was established here by edict of Empress Elizabeth.

hanks to new UIA flights, passengers are now able to follow in the footsteps of German phi-losopher Immanuel Kant in the seaport city of Kaliningrad, visit the former Don Cossack

capitals scattered around the Rostov region, and learn more about the dramatic history of Russia’s last impe-rial family in Yekaterinburg.

KaliningradFounded in 1255 as a fortress by the Teutonic Knights during the Northern Crusades, the location of this ice-free Baltic Sea port has made it a geopoliti-cal football throughout its history. From the mid-18th century, the town was the capital of the province of East Prussia, and was named Königsberg until 1946. The German period of the town’s history came to an end in April 1945, however, when it was captured and annexed by Soviet forces during the Königsberg Offensive. Now, Kaliningrad is the most western terri-tory of the Russian Federation, and the administrative centre of the Kalininbgrad Oblast, geographically separated from the rest of Russia. For almost six centuries after its foundation, the town had been built up repeatedly as a fortress, surrounded by defensive earthwork, towers and mighty bastions, many of which withstood even the merciless bombard-ments of World War II. As time passed, the old fortifications were modernised and adjusted to the new needs. Now, many of the former town gates and towers host museums. One of them, the Dohna Tower, is home to the Amber Museum (Marshal Vasilevsky Sq. 1; www.ambermuseum.ru), which boasts a large number of amber ornaments and jew-ellery. It turns out that the Kaliningrad Oblast boasts some of the world’s largest deposits of this material and Kalin-ingrad amber was used to reconstruct the world famous Amber Room. After being removed from the Catherine Palace in St Petersburg by German soldiers in 1941, the pre-cious panels were evacuated and stored in the Königsberg Castle. What happened next is not known. Some say the Amber Room might have been destroyed by bombing, hid-den in a bunker, buried in mines or taken onto a ship sunk by Soviet forces in the Baltic Sea.The Königsberg Castle, which might had been the last host of the Amber Room, was also ruined during World War II. On its site, the House of Soviets was built but never used. Rumour has it that a mysterious owner prevents this building, known locally as “The Monster”, from being demolished. Kaliningrad is quite an attraction to those with an inter-est in philosophy, as one of the most famous people born in Königsberg is Immanuel Kant. The patriarch of German classical philosophy never left his native town; his punctual-ity and commitment to his daily routine became the stuff

64 / PANORAMA X 4 / 2013

Co-located with a fortress named after the metropolitan bishop Dimitry of Rostov, the settlement quickly grew. The modern day city got its cur-rent name in early 20th century, when it merged with the bor-dering Armenian settlement Nakhichevan-on-Don. Nakhichevan is now part of the Proletarsky district of Rostov-on-Don and houses a lot of his-torical buildings, including two Armenian churches – the 13th century Surb Khach church, the city’s oldest surviving monu-ment, as well as the 19th century St Karapet church. Khalturinsky Lane attracts fans of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Here, is located the house where the then seven-year old future writer and dissident settled with his mother after moving to Ros-tov-on-Don in 1925. The family lived here for 16 years. Being an important industrial centre, Rostov-on-Don has developed an industrial tour-ism industry. Visitors to the city can visit Baltika, one of Europe’s largest breweries (Dovatora St. 146-D; www.baltika.ru), as well as the Aksinya faience ceramics factory, located in the town of Semikarakorsk 130 kilometres from Rostov-on-Don (First Lane 123). The products of this factory are famous – last year, it became an official licensing partner of Sochi 2014, and is now making Olympiad-related souvenirs. Getting There: UIA offers five flights a week from Kiev and other Ukrainian cities to Rostov-on-Don.

YekaterinburgThe fourth-largest city in Russia, the economic and cul-tural capital of the Urals region, lies right in the middle of the Eurasian continent, on the border of Europe and Asia. Yekaterinburg was founded in 1723 and named after Peter the Great’s wife Catherine. In a strange twist of his-tory, this is also the place where the history of the Russian imperial family ended. Soon after the February Revolution, the former Emperor Nicholas II, his family and members of his household were held as prisoners in Yekaterinburg for 78 days before being murdered by the Bolsheviks on 17 July 1918. The Ipatiev House, where the execution took place, was demolished in 1977 by order of Yekaterinburg native Boris Yeltsin. The city has since remembered these events, attracting both pil-grims and tourists to the sites associated with the Romanov deaths. The Church on Blood, which commemorates the Romanov family, was built on the site of the murder.However, the city can offer visitors much more than its dra-matic history. The wealth of the Urals’ mineral industry is rep-resented in the city’s many museums. The Museum of Hard-stone Carving and Jewellery History (Lenina prospect 37)

tells the story of the former Yekaterinburg Hardstone Carving Factory, founded in 1751. By order of the imperial family, its craftsmen created exquisite jewellery from malachite, jasper and azurite, and worked on the Malachite Room of the Win-ter Palace in St Petersburg. Another peculiarity of the city is its abundance of quirky monuments, paying homage to entities as diverse as Michael Jackson, the Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, and even a plumber. Perhaps the weirdest of them is the keyboard monument, located on the bank of the Iset River. To make your wish come true, “type” it on the gargantuan white keyboard, then jump on Enter. Easy as that! And if you are stuck in a rut, you can “reload” your life by “clicking” the combination Ctrl-Alt-Del. To top off your Yekaterinburg experience, go to the 54th floor of the Vysotsky skyscraper (Malysheva Str. 1; www.visotsky-e.ru), to admire the city from an observation plat-form located 188 metres above the ground. In early 2013, the Vysotsky Museum opened in the skyscraper, featuring photographs, private letters, clothes and personal belong-ings of the famous Russian poet, singer and actor. The interior of the museum recreates a room in the Bolshoi Ural hotel, where Vysotsky stayed during his visits to Yekater-inburg in 1962 and 1964. Next to the Antey shopping mall (Krasnoarmeyskaya Str. 10), a bronze Vysotsky “sings” one of his songs to his beloved Marina Vladi. Getting There: UIA offers daily flights from Kiev and other Ukrainian cities to Yekaterinburg.

Through to 20 April, visitors to Mystetskiy Arsenal in Kiev have the opportunity to decipher THE CODE OF PINSEL, an exhibition of works by Johann Georg Pinsel, the mysterious mid-18th century Galician sculptor. Recently held at the Louvre Museum, the exhibition was a tremendous success, after the best experts worked on the restoration of the 27 unique baroque sculptures. As part of the exhibition, ten contemporary artists will create their own projects over a month in a bid to continue Pinsel’s legacy. Plus, Mystetskiy Arsenal will present a memorial project in honour of Borys Voznitsky, the director of the Lvov Art Gallery, who first introduced the world to the works of the Ukrainian Michelangelo, as Pinsel is often called.

UIA FLIGHTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO TERMINAL 2D AT PARIS ROISSY H CHARLES DE GAULLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Starting 9 April 2013, Ukraine International Airlines’ own flights Kiev – Paris and Paris – Kiev will operate to/from Terminal 2D at Paris Roissy – Charles de Gaulle International Airport. UIA flights are transferred to Terminal 2D due to the start of complete refurbishment work at Terminal 2B.

Operated jointly with UIA partner airline Air France, UIA code share flights will still arrive at and depart from Terminal 2E at Paris Roissy – Charles de Gaulle International Airport.“Following the latest negotiations between UIA and Paris CDG airport representatives and regarding the allocation of carriers at Paris CDG airport, a decision was made

to transfer UIA operations from Terminal 2B, which will undergo complete refurbishment, to the neighboring Terminal 2D,” Evgeniya Satska, UIA Corporate Press Secretary says. “Being new to UIA, Terminal 2D has a well-developed infrastructure and provides passengers with an opportunity to take advantage of an extensive range of services and to enjoy the highest possible service and comfort level at the terminal.” For more information on Paris CDG International airport terminal arrangement, visit the airport’s official website www.aeroportsdeparis.fr.

HELPING SOMEONE IN NEED

Recently, UIA employees received a warm email from the family of Iryna Lanovenko – an 18-month old girl who’s battling retinoblastoma (a cancer that develops in the cells of the retina). Iryna’s family, as well as all the people who participate in treating her, sincerely thank UIA for allowing them to buy tickets at a reduced price, to take Iryna abroad for treatment. Currently, Iryna is in Lausanne, where she undergoes treatment at the Hôpital Ophtalmique Jules-Gonin. Iryna has already had six courses of chemotherapy and 27 radiotherapy sessions.www.irahelp.com.ua

UIA HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED IOSA AUDIT On 17 June 2013, the new IOSA Certificate which Ukraine International Airlines received based on the results of an International Air Transport Association (IATA) follow-up audit for the carrier’s compliance with the highest opera-tional safety standards, will take legal effect.This year, UIA has once again successfully completed the audit for modern operational safety requirement compli-ance and received yet another – the fifth for the leading Ukrainian carrier – IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) Certificate confirming the most prestigious international aviation organisation has a high opinion of UIA’s opera-tions.The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) programme was developed by IATA in consultation with leading aviation industry experts and introduced in 2003. The IOSA pro-gramme is an internationally recognised and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of airlines and aimed at increasing operational safety on a global scale, audit prin-ciples and auditors’ requirement standardisation, establish-ing a secure network of audit results’ dissemination, as well as mandatory audits systems’ optimisation.An IOSA audit covers all aspects of an airline’s operations affecting flight safety, including maintenance and flight operation, ground handling, cargo transportation, and company management. A thorough check of UIA operating personnel training on the simulator, a blue flight as part of the crew, surveys of standards and procedures of passen-ger service and aviation safety requirements compliance at check-in, baggage and cargo loading were conducted at Kiev Boryspil International Airport – UIA’s base airport.In 2005, UIA was the first airline in the CIS and the 51st of 265 IATA members to have successfully completed the IOSA audit. According to IATA requirements, the IOSA audit is to be conducted on a biannual basis while operational safety regulations are regularly monitored.Flight safety is the number one priority for UIA. The fact that the airline has successfully completed the remark-ably demanding IOSA audit proves UIA has a management structure and a corporate culture that contribute to the active promotion of the best operational safety practices. We will continue to improve the internal standards of operational safety and quality, while simultaneously maintain-ing the airline’s leading position on the Ukrainian and international market for passenger and cargo air transportation.For more information on IOSA audit please visit the IATA official website www.iata.org.

LIQUIDS TRANSPORTATION

The following limitations are applied to the amounts of liquids, gels and sprays, carried in hand baggage of passengers, travelling through the

airports of EU countries, as well as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.

All liquids, gels and sprays in your hand baggage must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack

these containers in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger (see image above).

Restrictions are imposed on water and other drinks, soups, syrups; creams, lotions and oils; perfumes;

sprays; gels, including hair and shower gels; pressurised container contents, including; shaving foam, other foams and deodorants; pastes, including toothpaste; liquid-solid mixtures; mascara; any other item of similar consistency.

Passengers still can:pack liquids in checked

baggage;carry in hand luggage

medicines and dietary requirements, including baby foods, for use during the trip;

buy liquids such as drinks and perfumes either in an EU airport shop when located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on board an aircraft operated by an EU airline. If they are sold in a

specially sealed bag, do not open it before you are screened – otherwise the contents may be confiscated at the checkpoint. All these liquids are in addition to the quantities in the re-sealable plastic bag mentioned above (1 litre maximum).
