Barcelona
The capital of Catalonia boasts the bustle of the world's busiest seaport, the medieval romance of its Gothic Quarter, and a feast of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings - including the great creations of Antonio Gaud�. The "Great Enchantress" remains one of the most exhilarating cities in Europe, decorated with the grandeur of Picasso, Mir� and Dal�.
Palma de Mallorca
The city of Palma is located on the southern side of Mallorca, the largest the Spanish Balearic islands. Though it has its fair share of cultural attractions, Mallorca's predominant crowd-pullers are the Serra de Tramuntana mountains range and the sun-splashed beaches.
At Sea
Porto Vecchio
You'll need a car and an area map to reach Porto-Vecchio's beaches, where you'll find pure white sands lapped by brilliant turquoise water. The busy beaches are the top attraction in this port town, which travelers report hasn't yet been totally overrun by the tourist trade. Sample fresh seafood in the local restaurants, and plan a side trip south to the charming town of Bonifacio.
Olbia
Olbia (Greek for "happiness") is a popular jumping-off point for those visiting the white-sand beaches of the Costa Smeralda, but those who linger in the coastal city uncover a historic center filled with archaeological landmarks, piazzas ringed by wine bars, and authentic eateries.
Trapani
Trapani is a city in western Sicily with a crescent-shaped coastline. At the western tip, offering views as far as the Aegadian Islands, is the 17th-century Torre di Ligny watchtower. It houses the Museo di Preistoria e del Mare, with archeological artifacts. North of the harbor, the Chiesa del Purgatorio church holds wooden sculptures that are paraded around the city during Easter's Processione dei Misteri.
Valletta/Grand Harbour
Jean de la Valette, French Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, built this Malta capital after the epic siege of 1565. It dominates the historic Grand Harbour, one of the finest natural ports in Europe, and it reflects some of Malta's rich heritage of archaeology, history, architecture, art and culture.
Siracusa (Sicily)
A visit to Sicily is truly a feast for all senses. The Mediterranean island is a foodie's paradise, offering rustic fare that makes the most of local bounty. Crispy/creamy arancini - fried balls of rice filled with cheese and sauce - are mouthfuls of heaven. The Sicilian sweet tooth has manifested in some of the world's finest desserts, like icy granita and sinful cannoli. Give your stomach a quick break and visually devour the Baroque architecture of Catania or the awesome holy monuments of Agrigento.
At Sea
Heraklion (Crete)
Mythology dictates that the capital of Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, is the birthplace of the god of Hospitality. Its historical powers have left evidence of their reign, including forts, fountains, walls, museums and temples.
Santorini
The southern most Cycladic Island in the Aegean Sea owes its existence to the extraordinary Santorini Volcano. The ancient city at Akrotiri is the most important archaeological site on the island and the most important prehistoric settlement found anywhere in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Athens/Piraeus
Greece's capital and its largest city was born atop the Acropolis, where ancient warrior-kings once dwelled. These ruins are a testament to the golden age of Greece, and the Parthenon is considered the most architecturally sophisticated temples of its time. Ancient Agora, a sprawling array of stones, slabs and foundations, was once the focal point of ancient Greek life.
