Historical Map of The Crusades, Routes and The Cities

The First Crusade (1096-1099) started from two different main gathering locations. First one was in France. They marched through Rome, Bari, Greece, Constantinople (Istanbul) and Antioch. The second was in Germany. 

The Second Crusade (1147-1150) started in north of Italy. They marched through Austria, Hungary, Belgrade, Sofia and Constantinople. They changed the direction from that point. Nobody was expecting it though. 

The Third Crusade (1189-1192) started from Marseille and Genoa. They sailed the entire Mediterranean Sea (through Sicily, Rhodes, Cyprus and arrived in Jerusalem.

The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) the planned route was a bit complicated. They had to change it several times. 

Some of the old cities on the route with modern names are: Dyrrachion ( Albania ), Adrianople ( Edirne ), Nicaea ( Iznik ), Dorylaion ( Şarhöyük, Eskisehir ),  Antioch ( Antakya ),  Edesa ( Urfa ) , Acre ( Akko or Akka )
