...pepper sauce and baked in filo pastry. In the same Beyoglu area is Cezayir, www.cezayir-istanbul.com, a restaurant-bar converted from an Italian primary school and a favorite with hipsters. Here, tandoori chicken is served with the unlikely accompaniment of pistachio rice, and liver paté is accented with Aegean herbs...
...concern, however, since easyCruise passengers don't stay aboard much anyway. Aimed at youth travelers interested in island hopping and sampling Greek nightlife, the ship offers a floating party experience, taking 170 passengers to popular holiday destinations they might not be able to visit otherwise. Putting into port at Aegean islands like Mykonos and Paros--or undiscovered isles like Folegandros--travelers have an afternoon of fun ashore and then party the night away before setting sail for the next destination.

But if Greece and Turkey are at loggerheads over these Aegean gems, they must be worth the bureaucratic hassle...
...aqua. On runways in New York City last month tipping the spring 2005 look, influential designers like Narciso Rodriguez and Michael Kors splashed aqua onto everything from bustiers to fur boleros. Their inspirations, they said, were the surfer scene on Brazil's beaches and the watery blues of the Aegean Sea. They probably also owe something to textile trade shows like Paris' Première Vision, which designers visit to get an early look at the trends in fabric prints and colors. And by the time the fashion flock hit Milan for the shows last week, aqua was everywhere: on woven...
