Cruising The Alluring Mediterranean.

You may  join your cruise perhaps in Greece or Italy, or wherever you might like to get on-board, or wherever  your cruise ship happens to depart from.

You may determine to begin your Cruising The Alluring Mediterranean vacation of a lifetime at the western end of the Med. The most Westerly port is Spain's Gibraltar. Steaming north west you may drop anchor in Valencia, and enjoy an Orange. then on to Barcelona.

Continuing mainly west, you have several possibilitys in the form of Sardinia, Corsica and then Rome and Naples. Sicily is a must, followed by Corfu and Greece. You are now well into the center of the Med,and would possibly opt for Crete, prior to pointing the cruise toward Cyprus. After Cyprus, head south to the north coast of Africa. Other possible eastern Mediterranean ports of call: Tel. Aviv,

Israel stops include Haifa, and if you are lucky you may have time to visit Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. include Alexandria, Egypt,where you must see the pyramids of Gaza and the Sphinx, and Port Said, Alexandria, Tripoli, Tunisia, Algiers could all be on your itinerary heading  westward, depending on how long you are cruising. 

Around the Mediterranean in 30 Days. It would be hopeless to select favourites among all of the glorious Mediterranean ports of call with a skilled orchestrated itinerary—we relished them all. The architecturally stunning New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece—a site not to be missed;

Visiting the designer Ilias Lalaounisat his stunning Jewellery Museum in Athens. Lalaounis created jewellery pieces for Queen Sofia of Spain—plus many rich and famous clients.

You will investigate some of the most exotic and fantastic Mediterranean geographical points and their fair cities with diverse society, rich yesteryear and behold some of the most hypnotic sceneries, white sandy beaches, historical memorials and underground fresh water streams flowing through caves.

Almost all of the leading cruise lines with their big ships offer ocean trips in the Greek Islands and they often consider other Mediterranean ports like Venice and Istanbul.

Best choice of destinations on a Mediterranean voyage: Rome which is a must see. Some of the most notable and best architecture and monuments in the world are in Rome.The Colosseum is one of these landmarks. Genoa is another Italian city which is more time-honoured in appearance.

Naples, a city over 2,800 years old is well known for its rich art, culture and history. It is well endowed with old architecture and historic landmarks. Fresh seafood is one of the things you should indulge in, while in Naples.
