Consider a 12-night cruise exploring a bit of both east and west Mediterranean. Leaving from Venice, stops at Ravenna, Naples and Capri. The cruise ship then jaunts over to Kotor in Montenegro, calls at Corfu, Malta and back to Italy to stop at Messina and Naples again. Sailing on, the lucky cruisers will see Ajaccio, Corsica, Monte Carlo in Monaco, Portofino and finally Rome. With a full day in each port, the cruise offers plenty of time to sightsee, shop and sample the local fare.

When researching Mediterranean cruises, feel free to daydream your way through the fabled ports of call. Hear Istanbul’s muezzins calling the faithful to prayer and get a whiff of the spice market. Taste fine Provençal wines in lovely Villefranche-sur-Mer. Stroll through the ancient town of Valleta, on the fascinating island of Malta. Dream of a romantic gondola ride at sunset in Venice. Enjoy reading about the various cities when planning your trip. The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be to thoroughly immerse yourself in each port city.

Palma, the capital city of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, incorporates some of the best features of ports on the Western Mediterranean.

Nearby Bellver Castle returns the visitor to a distinctly medieval world with a spectacular view of the town and harbour. Palma’s architecture is an enchanting blend of Gothic, Renaissance and Moorish elements, its winding streets awaiting savvy strollers. No wonder Palma has become a hotspot for sophisticated travellers.

Majorca is a truly stunning destination and there is much to explore here and with most areas of the island being around the hour to hour and a half mark to reach by road, its a great place to visit.

• Barcelona is a city rich in culture and history, something which becomes immediately apparent to first time visitors. Arguably the most popular attraction is “Gaudi’s masterpiece”, the Sagrada Familia church, a spectacular building that won’t fail to amaze. The list of historical buildings and world heritage sights seems endless and most will be stumbled upon as you wander the streets of the Gothic quarter where numerous greats of architecture have left their mark.
• Also up there on my list (as a serious sports fan) would have to be a visit to Camp Nou – the home of FC Barcelona, and the largest stadium in Europe. Obviously not a priority for everyone, but an impressive sight nonetheless, as well as being home to arguably the greatest team in the world who currently dominate European Football.  A visit to the FC Barcelona museum is a must for any football fan who can marvel over the vast amount of silverware on display.
• Parc Guell – Many people view this as the most beautiful park in the world, and is a serene escape from the bustling city where people can be seen relaxing, listening to local guitarists, and taking advantage of great views of the city itself.
• Beaches – The best way to escape from the urban centre, the seven beaches of Barcelona provide a great retreat when the city life gets a little too frantic, especially in the summer, when the lovely Spanish sunshine calls for some chill out time.

This list could go on forever; the countless museums, Las Ramblas, Barri Gotico are all definitely worth a visit, but for me it’s some of the hidden gems that give real insight into the Catalan people and their interesting home.  At night exploring the café’s and bars of the narrow streets in the medieval old town is a great starting point, searching out quirky little spots mainly inhabited by locals enjoying tapas and other treats. Plaza Real provides a great mixing place of locals and tourists and a great area for mingling before hitting some clubs. For trendy bars and restaurants El Born provides an escape from the more touristy hang outs, again it is definitely worth escaping the main streets and heading for the backstreets to uncover more secret hotspots.

All in all you cannot help but be amazed by the combination of truly magnificent historical sites and the modern cosmopolitan and fashionable feel Barcelona projects. There really is something for everyone, and if you are yet to experience it please put Barcelona top of the list for your next summer holiday or weekend getaway.
