Itinerary Highlights

Athens (Piraeus), Greece

Home to the Acropolis, Athens has quite a reputation to live up to: Named for Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, the city is credited with being the cradle of European civilization and birthplace of democracy.

Mykonos, Greece

With its many charms including iconic windmills, fabulous beaches and an irresistible traditional town of twisting streets and alleys, Mykonos is living proof that picture postcard destinations do exist.

Heraklion, (Crete), Greece

As the largest city on the isle of Crete, with a history that dates back to the 9th century, Heraklion has seen its share of travelers over the millennia. Discover the many treasures at the Archaeological Museum, regarded as one of the most important museums in Greece. Given that it’s Greece we’re talking about, the food here is naturally outstanding, and comes with a delicious Cretan touch.

Siracusa, Sicily, Italy

As one of the major powers of the Mediterranean world in 5th century BC, Siracusa is known for the archaeological and historical sights (like the tomb of Archimedes and Ear of Dionysus) that define its grand past.

Siracusa, Sicily

Valletta, Malta

Valetta is a living museum of baroque architecture, constructed by the Knights of St. John 500 years ago, yet also a dynamic hub of cultural and commercial activity, welcoming luxury yachts and cruise ships.

Valletta

La Goulette, Tunisia

Tunisian houses are generally simple and unadorned, but Tunis has a reputation for the elaborate and colorful doors and window treatments with which the wealthy have traditionally expressed their status.

La Goulette

Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy

You’re in luck, we happen to think the best way to arrive in Cagliari is by sea. (Not that we’re biased or anything!) This way you get to witness to full specter of this colorful city rising haphazardly from the sea, cresting with a rocky centerpiece better known as Il Castello. The capital of Sardinia, Cagliari boats over 25 centuries of history to explore in the form of Roman ruins, museums, churches, and numerous galleries.

Cagliari, Sardinia

Porto Vecchio, Corsica, France

Dating back to the 16th century, the fortified port town of Porto Vecchio is now a fashionable Corsican resort destination, with beaches, mountains and surrounding valley, and the charming Old Town district.

Porto Vecchio, Corsica

Ajaccio, Corsica, France

The seaside capital of Ajaccio is best known as the birthplace of Napolean Bonaparte, yet there's a lot more to this charming city like scenic mountains, beautiful beaches, and countless cafes and shops.

Ajaccio, Corsica

Mahon, Menorca, Spain

Perched atop a cliff overlooking the natural harbor, Mahon is most striking when approached by sea, with shops, cafes, restaurants and the Church of Santa Maria lining the streets between the two plazas.

Palma, Majorca, Spain

Dating back to Roman times, Palma de Mallorca features an amazing gothic Cathedral with some of the world’s largest stained glass windows, the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art and the mystical Caves of Drach.

Palma, Majorca

Barcelona, Spain

Dynamic Barcelona is all about architecture, from the magnificent medieval buildings of the Gothic Quarter to the Modernist movement typified by the work of Antoni Gaudi including the amazing Sagrada Familia.
