Catalonia is an autonomous region whose indipendence has long been a subject of debate and is still a topic that divides opinion in the country. The region has its own language, culture and history, most visible in its Roman ruins, Gothic cathedral and modernist buildings. The city of Barcelona is the emblem of this unique culture. Barcelona is the most cosmopolitan city in Spain and one of the most busiest port in the Mediterranean. In summer, the beautiful beaches of this city are a magnet for beach lovers. Beautiful beaches are not the only the reason why Barcelon is one of the most loved destionations for tourists. 

The city is a symbol of the the artistic, culinary and cultural avant-garde: visit the Sagrada Familia and the other visionary architectural works of Antoni Gaudi, La Pedrera, Casa Batlllò or Park Guell. For sports lovers, a visit to Camp Nou is not to be missed, while for art lovers here is the Picasso Museum, the Caixa Forum, the MNAC or the Miró Museum. If you want to taste the local cuisine, restaurants and bars are the right choice. They are always crowded as the sea in summer. An holiday aboard a cruise offers the opportunity to visit this beautiful city and immerse yourself in this unique atmosphere.

Toulon

Toulon is a French city located about 50 km in the south-east of Marseilles. Thaks to its port, it is an important commercial center and a strategic city. The port is surrounded by a beautiful waterfront with several parks where you can admire the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea.
Also known as the western border of the Côte d'Azur, Toulon is a beautiful city full of contrasts, located close to the Italian border and its coastline is washed by the Mediterranean Sea.

As France's main military port, it has a large part of the nuclear submarine fleet and famous boat such as the Charles-de-Gaulle.
The center of the city, near the port, has very narrow streets leading to large streets that often seem mysterious. Its main monuments include the Place Puget with its dolphin fountain built in 1780, the Place Raimu and the beautiful opera house, one of the most famous in France. Fashinating for its history, it is the only fortress called Royale. In its picturesque Provençal street markets, you will find a variety of products of all kinds.

A nice and funny way to explore the city is to take the tourist train that takes passengers on a journey that cross both the old and the new parts of the town.
Toulon has a privileged position because it is located between the sea and the mountains. Its population is hospitable and in winter the place becomes a resort, while in summer you can enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the region, the Plage du Mourillon.
There are many other things to do and visit in this resort, for instance, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Asian Arts, as well as churches, beaches or Mont Faron, with its 584 metres in height and an incredible view.

La Spezia

Located 100km south-est of Genoa, La Spezia has a large port where various cruises depart all year round. On Taoticket you will find all cruise itineraries that embark from the port of La Spezia in Western Mediterranean. Discover more information about this city!
The large and vively city of La Spezia is completely in contrast with the surrounding placid coastal villages and the rural hinterland. The city is located at the head of the Gulf of La Spezia, also known as the Gulf of Poets after Byron, Dante, DH Lawrence, Shelley, George Sand and others sought inspiration there. La Spezia is the ideal starting point for excursions to Portovenere, the Cinque Terre and Portofino.

Portovenere is located on a promontory at the end of the gulf, where there is a natural park that takes its name from there. It can be easily reached by ferry from the port of La Spezia and it is a tourist destination all year round. Since 1997, together with Palmaria Island, which is located in front of the town, it was declared UNESCO World Heritage Site for its architectural and scenic beauty. Portofino is a renowned and exclusive resort on the Ligurian Riviera, and it is not unusual to meet some celebrities strolling the village streets or sunbathing on their private yacht. Cinque Terre are formed by the villages of Monterosso, Corniglia, Vernazza, Manarola and Rio Maggiore. Easily accessible by sea or by train, they offer picturesque views of the coast and characteristic, brightly coloured houses. We recommend a stroll along the famous Via dell'Amore, which links Manarola and Rio Maggiore.

Civitavecchia

The port town of Civitavecchia is about an hour away from the Italian capital and is where ships will dock before bringing lucky holidaymakers into the city of Rome. It is an important port for cruise ships and ferries, connecting to Corsica, Sardinia and Barcelona. Civitavecchia is a town in the heart of Lazio. It is a small, sleepy town that overlooks the sea from behind the busy and chaotic commercial port.

Spreading out along the coast, the town is situated between the Mignon river to the north and the Marangone river to the south.

It is an excellent tourist destination where you can simply enjoy 'la dolce vita' or visit the amazing historical monuments. On a level with the majestic ancient capital, in terms of its monuments, gardens, villas and works of art, it also gives you easy access to the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Terme della Ficoncella, and the Etruscan ruins.

Athens

Many still think of Athens as an ancient city that thrived two and a half thousand years ago. Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Its symbol is the mighty Acropolis, which dominates almost every view and the itinerary of every visitor, and it is crowned by the iconic Parthenon, which rises above the city, overlooking the sprawling and evolving modern metropolis.

Perhaps the most significant change is in the historical centre, which is almost unrecognisable since cars have been banned. This has liberated the area with the most significant archaeological sites, creating the longest, and undoubtedly one of the most splendid, pedestrianised zones in Europe. This huge archaeological park has brought past and present together, returning the cultural and social life of the city to the area around the ancient monuments and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Athens remains a city of contradictions; it is both frustrating and seductive. It is the oldest city in Europe, yet still in a state of transition. It is one of the safest and most vibrant European cities - an intoxicating mix of grunge and grace with an undeniably urban soul.

Mykonos

Istanbul

An incredible city, huge, vibrant like few others in the world. Where two continents meet, culture and diversity thrive in a unique architectural setting. Istanbul is hot,and we aren’t talking about the weather. These days there are more restaurants,bars,galleries and clubs around the city than Ottoman mosques(which is not a small feat).

The international fashion and design press has talked about Istanbul to the point of exhaustion; the sense of age that fell over the city once the Ottoman empire disappeared, has been replaced by a sense of energy and innovation not seen since the times of Suleiman the Magnificent.

Heraklion is located in the center of the northern coast of the Greek Islands. With more than 100,00 inhabitants, the city is the capital of Crete, a Venetian fortress during the Middle Ages. The ancient city, with its squares and wide cobbled streets, balconies with wonderful view on the sea, mantains numerous fortifications.

The Archaeological Museum, home to ceramic sculptures, jewellery and frescoes on the Minoan culture. The Historical Museum, home to the only exhibited work of the painter Domenico Theotokopoulos (The Greek), and where you can have a view of Mount Sinai. The Cathedral of St Mena, the patron saint of the city, built between 1862 and 1895 is one of the largest buildings in the area.

Heraklion has an important port and a considerable center for the coastal trade of oil, soap, wine and hides. It has ferry boats and ships with regular itineraries to the islands of Santorini, Ios, Paros, Mykonos, Rhodes, Karpathos and Syros. There are also several daily ferry bgoats to Piraeus, south-west of Athens. The Venetian fortress, still in perfect condition, protects the entrance to the port.

The large combination of reality and mythology, tradition and modernity, make Herklion a cosmopolitan center and one of the most important tourist destination in the Mediterranean. Great beaches, lively nightlife, sunny people, excellent cuisine and the strange "interplay" between the old and the new, guarantees to tourists an unforgettable holiday.
