Alhambra Palace
Agios Nikolaos
Palma Cathedral
There’s much more to Crete than its outstanding natural beauty and popular holiday resorts. This gorgeous Greek island boasts over 5,000 years of history and some of the Mediterranean’s most interesting historical sites. Heraklion, the capital, is your gateway to the very best of them, including the pre-historical Palace of Knossos and the Caves of Zeus – which is said to be the birthplace of the God of Thunder.
On the Greek mainland, Athens awaits your call into nearby Piraeus. Take the short journey into Greece’s capital and you’ll be rewarded with an abundance of iconic ancient sites. A guided tour of the city’s remarkable Acropolis offers the chance to marvel at the mighty Parthenon and several other of the citadel’s archaeological treasures.
In Malta, head out to the ship’s open decks to enjoy the scenic sailing into the spectacular city of Valletta, passing by the architectural wonders of the iconic Grand Harbour. Once docked you can explore the island’s capital in search of attractions such as St John’s Co-Cathedral & Knights of St John, or take
Acropolis, Athens
a highly recommended horse-drawn carriage tour through the medieval city of Mdina.
The Spanish leg of your voyage begins on the pretty island of Mallorca. Palma’s charming maze of sun- bathed streets and squares are a joy to explore. Highlights such as the Gothic cathedral lie within. You’ll also have an opportunity to embark on a journey aboard the vintage train to Soller, before exploring the traditional village of Valldemossa.
Cartagena is a city rich in Roman heritage. It’s proud home to a plethora of centuries-old sites and interesting museums: the Medieval castle, Roman amphitheatre and Bateria de Castillitos feature on the must-visit list. In the Andalusian city of Malaga you’ll find a collection of diverse attractions too, from the Moorish-style Gibralfaro Castle to the Picasso Museum, a celebration of Pablo Picasso’s life. Granada, home of the magnificent Alhambra Palace, and the mountaintop city of Ronda are within reach on a tour. You’ll then make a call at the Portuguese port of Leixões for tours to the nearby city of Oporto, famed for its Port wine.
