Going on a Mediterranean Cruise is an amazing holiday option regardless of what type of traveler you are: the kind seeking relaxation, the adventurer or simply the curious human being willing to find out more about other places.
What are the best places to visit on a Mediterranean Cruise, though? Read on and find out more:
Athens
This is where it all begins: European culture, democracy, grace, beauty, philosophy. You name it and it’s very likely the Greeks discussed it first. Named after the Goddess of Wisdom, Athens is a superb place to visit even if you are just passing by – and a cruise that stops there will definitely add a lot to your experience as a traveler.
Dubrovnik
Although sometimes people associate the Mediterranean with Greece, Italy, Spain and France alone, the truth is that there are other spots along this emerald-blue sea that are more than worthy of your attention. Croatian Dubrovnik is one of those places. The kind of city that haunts you years after you have visited it. The kind of charm you will take home with you to always cherish its memory.

There’s something unforgettable about this Mediterranean cruise stop you will definitely want to come back to again. And again. And again.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the kind of place where you stop to have fun. There’s just nothing the Spanish cannot do excellently. Amazing foods, great parties, stunning beaches, beautiful ladies, handsome men and a general atmosphere of “feeling good” that will infuse every single inch of your body. And once you get acquainted with the Barcelonan culture and spirit, you are bound to return and “get more” of this fantastic city.
Monaco
If you want to get your fair dose of luxury, opulence and almost decadent beauty, Monaco is the place to be at. There’s nothing not to love about this Lilliputian city-state, really.
