Luxury yachts, residences of millionaires, skyscrapers, XXL beaches and summer all year round. Make your American dream come true and fly to Miami – the Magic City in the Sunshine State. For the first time with ITAKA, directly to Miami, Florida without visas.

SUNSHINE STATE American style holiday? Discover Florida, called the Gateway to the Caribbean. Its symbol is the orange blossom, and each place is less than 100 km away from the sea. We all know it, at least heard about it: the world's most famous Walt Disney World Resort, Cape Canaveral, the world's most famous spaceport, Florida Keys with the most famous Key West Island where Ernest Hemingway lived and worked, and of course Miami with the world's most famous beaches.

WELCOME TO MIAMI The ringing name comes from the word "mayami" from the Tequesta Indian dialect, which means sweet water. Here, "cold" means 20°C +, therefore the wonderful beaches attract the sun-seekers like a magnet all year round, and the skyscrapers of the business district contrast with the colorful art dèco buildings. Miami is called the capital of Latin America and is actually closer to Havana than to the state capital. Its unique atmosphere is created by the Caribbean ease, Latin American temperament, hipster atmosphere and great fortunes.

A WALK WITH THE STARS What comes to our minds first when we think of Miami? “Miami Vice”, of course, the cult TV series from the 80s. This vibrant city has played in countless film productions. "Scarface" with Al Pacino, "Bodyguard" with Kevin Costner, "Dexter", one of the 007 series – "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig as James Bond is only a fraction of the city's acting career. When walking through Miami don't get surprised when you'll meet a world-famous star face-to-face!

SOBE OCEAN DRIVE These are the icons and quintessence of Miami. Ocean Drive is a famous promenade running along the cult South Beach (SoBe) – beach and district. An unforgettable view is the Atlantic Ocean, the beach and the characteristic colorful lifeguard booths, which have grown to become another symbol of the city. SoBe is an entertaining place, teeming-with-life from dusk, it is a meeting point for people from all over the world who come here to take part in the endless fun. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, clubs, with beautifully renovated art dèco buildings and fantastic shops.

TASTE THE FLORIBBEAN! This is a specific cuisine which is an unusual combination of all cuisines of the world with a strong Caribbean accent. From big hamburgers to sophisticated Cuban dishes as tasty as in Havana. Haitians, Jamaicans and Peruvians have also brought "their" food here Europe is represented by Italy, Spain, France and Germany. Café Cubano – a sweet and very strong variety of espresso is available everywhere.

CARNIVAL FUN The favorite way of Floridians and tourists for full relaxation and total carelessness are cruises. Miami is one of the world's largest port for cruise ships. The most popular routes lead to the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Mexico. Unique world-famous places and beautiful views are not everything. During the day you can go sight-seeing, and in the evening the carnival of attractions begins. It is on board of the ships of the prestigious American Carnival Cruise line where you will feel all the joy of a sea voyage.

LITTLE HAVANA AND STREET ART One of the most climatic districts in Miami. For decades, Cuban emigrants have been arriving here from Cuba, fate of which is intertwined with the history of Florida. People here speak Spanish and the locals cultivate Cuban customs. Due to the unique color of Little Havana the number of clubs and discos is constantly growing. The Art District Wynwood Walls is also full of color, dizzying with expressive graffiti in vivid colors created by the most famous Street Art creators.

PARKS AND PELICANS Miami has over 800 parks, magnificent gardens and thousands of spectacular palm trees. It is located between two national parks: Biscayne National Park and Everglades National Park. The first one includes mangrove forests and the Biscayne Bay with its coral reef, a great place for diving. Everglades has wild, subtropical nature, fantastic hiking trails and thousands of alligators. There are also 350 species of birds, including ubiquitous pelicans, which can often be found at the beaches.

RICHLY Miami has always attracted big money, artists, models and now also celebrities. The richest and most famous people live in fabulous residences, and the scale of their estates can often be seen only when passing by on a boat. Here, it is not the car but the yacht that sets your status. In exclusive marinas you can find modern, luxurious yachts, but you better not guess their prices.
