a destination chosen by one of our you is this week at the request comes from martha lucci at her hair her castro who wrote in to us from a man if i lived in colombia she asked us to show her the greek island of crete and everything it has to offer so we started our trip in the town of. how many. creates a mild climate and sunny days chad of terrorists all year round for obvious reasons for there is much more to the ending than just at the water's edge we crammed in as much as possible for you moffatt hope you enjoy. it. with its different styles of architecture is one of the most beautiful cities in the mediterranean one of its most famous landmarks is a lighthouse which dates from the venetian era the harbor and deal town behind our very lively in the evening when the locals and tourists throng to the restaurants and bars during the day the area is quite peaceful.

vassily co the stuff is a local tour guide. most of your think is that you can read the history of the city from its architecture and you can see who occupied it over centuries and fred offered up a paradoxical beginning with the byzantines then the venetians and then the ottomans for the mongols. the byzantine wall was built during the early middle ages remains from the previous while the wrecked it during the hellenistic period are still visible. the church of ideals nikolaus is an illustration of the influence of different religions and culture as it has both a bell tower and the minaret. and the first good mosque to be built after the ottoman conquest in the seventeenth century is now an exhibition space. the

venetians built in the your e s shipyards to repair ships in winter they can be seen clearly from the water and early afternoon is a good time to go on a boat trip the boat has a glass floor which makes it easier to see what's in the water goals if they are blown the records of that you'll get if you're brave to do. with those used in the so-called war war by the german warfare. like a car going through super and sometimes like a middle range or. any other doesn't only have architecture and history to offer there are also plenty of other sites in the water and what better way to see them up close than by diving down to that. place that is not the source of what was most interesting was the plane wreck on the sea bat. and the fish to. the children really like that it was really nice.

a look. please you see logs of my passion for music came later in my childhood the passion for astronomy was there first then at some point i try to play an instrument of course i enjoy being out in nature and seeing the stars in the sky and music has something romantic about it too but i can't really connect the two in my head but there is one advantage you do both in the evening or at night and that's a great combination of frank second time must be the most musical astro photographer in germany here he's in a field in the eiffel region he spends a lot of nights here trying to shed light on the darkness with his camera and telescope a second time sees the stars and much more. the even more so this guy has to be really dark which is why we're here in the eiffel region here there's a little light pollution from towns or cities or nearby houses so in summer for

instance you can really see the milky way and that's an important criterion because if you can see the milky way clearly the less sky is very dark and that makes for very good astro photos. and they look like this. second time post is spectacular images on the internet and his won many awards for his work. one of his images has even been published by nasa. man a bit i send all of my pictures to astronomy picture of the day a web site run by nasa today and every day they choose a new photo to show usually their photos from nasa missions for instance taken with the hubble space telescope problems but once in a while they choose pictures taken by amateur astro photographers and that's a special honor system. here you can see what are called dark nebulizing and here you can see the southern cross. i took this photo in the media.

second home as one fans outside of nasa to he writes articles for astronomy journals and also publishes his photos in them. thank god this is the gas nebula i like them and there are lots of them in the milky way. they're made mainly of hydrogen gas which glows when it's lit up by young hot stars and what we're seeing in a sense is the birth of a young star in your. cars. you'll have to be patient until it's dark enough to get out his camera he doesn't mind though he has a good way to pass the time. of making music in astrophotography has been my thing ever since i was a child and i wouldn't know which to choose should i ever have to make the choice. i want to know more about european lifestyle and culture visit euro max on facebook . you'll find highlights from our programs. three hundred sixty degree videos of

the most beautiful places in europe and snapshots taken by our reporters take an exclusive look behind the scenes at how the program is produced and follow us on facebook life. we love it when fans visit our facebook page and give us their feedback visit d.w. euro max on facebook. my german colleague chrystia and i will also be doing facebook live videos or we say do tune in to us here in berlin here right remember our old studios were right by the brandenburg gate it's probably one of the most photographed landmarks here in the german capital but i wonder how many tourists really know the history and significance of this monument lockley for those who are inquisitive the city has an interactive museum explaining all about the brandenburg gate and as we know many of you watching from around the world you can't get here

we thought we'd bring a piece of the german tourist experience to your screens. the brandenburg gate stands tall in the heart of berlin for many visitors it's a must see location. but they might not know much about its history anyone curious to find out more can visit the gate berlin a privately run museum just fifty meters from the monument. a multimedia show off herself whirlwind history of the gate and the city of berlin three hundred years in just under twenty minutes it's ideal for tourists who have a busy schedule. squits not saw it. and what's in the book look our aim was to provide an emotional overview of berlin's complex history and explain it to an international audience without the need for speech issues it's

a linear journey through history via images dee dee dee dee think she's fallen so that's in. eighty seven h.t. screams form a two hundred seventy degree panorama coupled with surround sound. that your focus is on several key periods including darker chapters of german history such as the. war the suppression of the east german uprising in one nine hundred fifty three. happier moments including the german national soccer teams twenty fourteen world cup victory celebrations at the brandenburg gate itself. what are these days you know it really takes you back to those times you fully absorbed on board of the team and i'm the. guy you don't really know where to look because so much is going on it's definitely worth seeing twice but it sounds lots of fun for the sauces and it's like i really without the glasses i'm going to. ok

now you get a far better feel for what happened then from history. after the show visitors enter another room with a picture and text boards containing details about the brandenburg gate. the team behind the exhibit has already brought various other modern museum concepts to life they combine modern media with more in-depth presentations taking visitors on a dual track a trip through the past. downfall the sun a lot bush in one room speeds you through history on all the other room slows down again. you can read up on the background and the various historical areas to deepen your understanding and zinta no longer thought so for teaching. the neoclassical monument was built in the eighteenth century on the side of the previous city gate . originally on the outskirts its location soon became the center of

a rapidly growing city it was badly damaged in world war two after the berlin wall was built in one nine hundred sixty one the date stood in the no man's land between east and west. then when the berlin wall fell in one thousand nine hundred nine the gate became a symbol of german reunification. whether it's new year's eve or a public zone for watching the soccer world cup on a giant screen the brandenburg gate is a famous location for the big public events. those toys and these over and over too but you can think about the gate as an entry into berlin and that's exactly what the museum represents more so if it's a place where you spend about thirty minutes getting an overview of the city of the history and of the significance of berlin the board rooms. the

brandenburg gate is crowned with the goddess of victory and her chariot. known as the quadriga. no visit to the german capital would be complete without a stop at berlin's most famous landmarks. all that is all we have time for on this saturday to get the kids well website and join in the conversation about your favorite activities to do by the water boy back again tomorrow at the same time and place but until then a few on social media five an hour on. the next time on your imax when french things from song puts on the show is the stage performers objects and props glide gracefully over the surface the result is a magical performance filled with surprises. and to be unusual for next time on you're a mess. going
