The Mediterranean is a favourite with many travellers and a wonderful destination for your cruise holiday. With its fantastic weather and stunning sights, you can’t help but fall in love with the entire region. The Mediterranean has always been one of the most sought-after destinations in the world and listed below are the top five ports your cruise shouldn’t miss.
Rome is the capital and most populous city in Italy. Once a centre of the Roman Empire, it is one of the top destinations for all travellers. This is a city filled with rich history and culture and home to some of the most famous and magnificent monuments and architecture in the world. Be sure not to miss this great city.
Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. It has a rich heritage and is an important cultural centre. Barcelona is also known for its shopping and amazing beaches. One of the top tourist destinations is the impressive sports stadium, which was home to the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.
Tunis is the capital of Tunisia, which is an Arab country. It offers a very different experience to that of most Mediterranean destinations and boasts impressive architecture that showcases its rich history and demonstrates the faith of the nation. You can shop all you want here, as the medina or city centre is packed with local traders and shops selling just about everything.
Palma, Majorca, is the capital of the Balearic Islands and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. The island is quite small and can easily be explored by bus or rental car. If you are searching for a bit of peace and quiet, this small island is the place to be.
Located on the French Riviera, St. Raphael offers a milder winter climate than many Mediterranean destinations. It boasts possibly the most wonderful beachfront boulevards in Europe and if you like shopping, a whole range of boutiques can be found in this quaint little town.
The Mediterranean is a place filled with rich history and stunning sights you are sure to love, but they are just a sample of the great places waiting for you to explore on your next cruise.
